File source problem with File:Tullio Francesco DeSantis w.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Tullio Francesco DeSantis w.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 00:32, 26 September 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 00:32, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * The artist still remains the (c) holder of the image in question unless he has specifically (and best, in writing) released all rights of it. Either way, the best way to prove the (c) claim is to follow the instructions found at WP:OTRS - follow the link and have him (not you) send the e-mail regarding the (c) status of the image in question.

Fair use rationale for File:Cheetah & Cubs Lying on Rock.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Cheetah & Cubs Lying on Rock.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation 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.  F ASTILYsock (T ALK ) 21:01, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Nick Brandt
Nice work on the Nick Brandt article.

As for the images, of course best of all would be if you could get Mr Brandt to unconditionally release rights to the images you want to use. But this is rather a big ask of a professional photographer.

If that is not forthcoming, and you have to go down the fair use path, you can probably reasonably use one image to try to better communicate the artist's style. The key policy here is WP:NFCC #8, with its test that showing the image must significantly add to reader understanding. It's not absolutely essential, but the fair use case would be strengthened if you could find external reliable sources discussing Mr Brandt's style, references to which would illuminated by showing a representative work (or a discussed one).

Beyond one image, if you don't have what WP would regard as a full enough release, fair use justification gets progressively harder. You might just about get away with two, if they were strongly contrasting with each other in what they show of Mr Brandt's work, particularly if you could find external references presenting this contrast as important.

For better or worse, we are probably significantly more restrictive on what we will use as fair use than, say, an art-criticism article on a living artist's style (or even a book review) in a photography magazine. But, when really justified, it is not completely forbidden. Jheald (talk) 12:16, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I will see what I can do. Brandt is in Kenya for the next five weeks, might have to wait for his return. But in the mean time I will research reviews and articles. If I have questions do I just leave them on your talk page or here on mine?Thisandthem (talk) 16:13, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I have tweaked the fair use rationales a little; this should be quite sufficient. There shouldn't (I hope) be any more difficulties, at least for these two photographs.


 * Probably this is as far as things need to go. It's worth keeping in mind that despite Mr Brandt's co-operation, these images - at least as presented at the moment - are not what Wikipedia considers "free";  and that when Wikipedia asks for a "free" license, that is quite different to the kind of licence that Mr Brandt would grant to, say, a magazine running a piece on him.  When Wikipedia is asking for a free licence, it is asking for a complete release of all rights in the image (at least at this resolution), not just to Wikipedia but to the whole world - so that anyone would be able to use it, as readily as clip art, for anything they wanted, and do anything they wanted with the results.  It would be lovely if Mr Brandt was prepared to give the world that, but I suspect his publishers and print-resellers would have a fit.


 * So that's what to bear in mind, if you think there's any further you want to take it. Jheald (talk) 20:12, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Jay LaBoy
My principal concern had to do with referring to him as "Jay" in the article body; while you certainly might do that in a promotional profile on his own website, in encyclopedia-style writing we need to refer to people by their surname. Bearcat (talk) 02:30, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:The Rip Off Review 2nd Edition.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:The Rip Off Review 2nd Edition.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.

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).

Rip-Off review
Article needs a lot of work on it... And BTW Ideally you should use the first issue cover  as the infobox image..

If there were only 3 issues, then you might want to put thumbnails of all 3 issues side by side.. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 00:57, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah I know it needs more work, I have some ideas of improving it. Really wanted to get the basic's down first. I didn't know you could do thumbnails side by side. I will give it a try. Thank you for your input.Thisandthem (talk) 01:36, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Geraldine Arata
Quote. Yes, You can add back the quote. Any quote must have a reference right after it. The 1st paragraph is an introduction for the entire article. Sometimes a quote maybe relevant to have in the introduction. But, I don't think it is the case her. Add it back into the article where you think it should go.

Reference. The reference should pertain to what is being discussed and about the subject. So, a reference for Arata attending Skyline College should show that she actually attended and not just the main webpage of the school. The same goes for the other deleted references. There are times where the main page of a website is appropriate... say the President of a University. Except, the link to the University would go into a separate section called "External links".

Bug me anytime you have question. Don't worry about being new and still learning... there is so much with Wikipedia that everybody is learning something new. In my case it is more trying (and failing) to remember. Bgwhite (talk) 00:27, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Hilly Michaels, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Producer and Sparks (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Table of contents
Hi, thanks for your question. Help:Section describes how a Table of Contents (TOC) works; in this case the article has less than three section headings, so a TOC will not show up unless forced.

Replaceable fair use File:OGS-01 D-HWANG.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:OGS-01 D-HWANG.JPG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media 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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 00:35, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
