Orphaned fair use image (Image:Cougarbypeterstreichersmall.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Cougarbypeterstreichersmall.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.  REDVERS ↔ SЯEVDEЯ 14:20, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Cougarbypeterstreichersmall.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 48 hours after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  REDVERS ↔ SЯEVDEЯ 14:20, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Cougar
Hey dude, sorry the article was deleted before things could be resolved. The best way I've found--personally--to go editing or writing a Wikipedia article is to treat it like all those research papers in school--everything has to have a noted, verifiable, reliable source. Which can be a pain, especially when you're writing about something you just know... but it's the best way to make sure your article isn't challenged.

Make sure to check out a few of the articles on writing articles etc. at the help desk--and if you decide to recreate the article, you should be able to post there, as well, to ask how to make sure your release of copyrght for the image is duly and correctly noted.

Best regards,
