Fair use rationale for Image:Xhrio22006a.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Xhrio22006a.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 '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 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. Bigr Tex  19:33, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Listing SDTV in HD Programming
Did you start doing this because of a discussion somewhere? This change doesn't make any sense to me. If a program is recorded in 16x9, including 1080i, of course it's converted to SDTV/480i... that's a downconversion, but it's NOT the original picture format... —Fumo7887 (talk • contribs) 04:25, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Template:NFLStartingQuarterbacks
Do not update Template:NFLStartingQuarterbacks based on depth charts or speculation. It is intended to show the most recent starters of NFL teams, so prospective starters are irrelevant. It should only be updated after each week's games.► Chris Nelson Holla! 02:01, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:KFXV News Logo 2012.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:KFXV News Logo 2012.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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.  WC  Quidditch  &#9742;   &#9998;  00:38, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
