I'm trying to think what you could use... State photographs are not treated the same way as federal photographs, so it's possible you might have to use it as fair use. You'll want to use a "free" (public domain or other Wikipedia-compatible liscence) picture instead of the fair use one if available.

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure on why those options are still there, but it does cut down on improperly-tagged images and allows problem users to be noticed slightly earlier, perhaps. You've picked a complex area to jump into immediately on Wikipedia (images.) :-) Grand  master  ka  07:36, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I added a general fair use tag for you. Not sure how well it'll hold up... Grand  master  ka  07:45, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:EthanStrimling.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 any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu badali (talk) 21:44, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:EthanStrimling.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:EthanStrimling.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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:33, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
