Fair use rationale for Image:Intersection logo white.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Intersection logo white.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 image 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 '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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Commercial use of Image:Bloodinthebrain.jpg
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Bloodinthebrain.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Bloodinthebrain.jpg has a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission, which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3). While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial. See our non-free content guidelines for more more information.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license GFDL-self to license it under the GFDL, or cc-by-sa-2.5 to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use PD-self to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Bloodinthebrain.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 23:30, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Image policies explained
Hi Youngben. I'm an administrator, in the middle of my regular task of deleting images that have been added to a special category for deletion; and, having seen how, for at least two images, you've mentioned that permission had been given for use in a Wikipedia article, I'd like to explain a little bit about our image policies.

Wikipedia recognises two kinds of images: free and non-free. A free image, according to our policy, is one which allows others to use it, modify it, redistribute it, made derivative works, etc., and even to use it (or their own modifications of it) for commercial gain. Such images could be in the public domain, or they could be licensed under a special free licence, such as GFDL, which allows others to use it for any purpose, but requires that your work still be attributed to you. Anything that doesn't have a free licence is considered to be copyrighted, and we only use such images when there's no freely-licensed image available, no reasonable prospect of a Wikipedian being able to obtain a freely-licensed image (many Wikipedians have been inspired, by our strict policy, to take the trouble to go along to some function where someone famous was speaking, and take a photo) and when we can show that the image is not being used just to decorate or enhance an article, but where it contributes significantly to our understanding of the subject being discussed in the article, such that its absence would make it difficult to understand the subject. See Criterion no. 8. For further information, I recommend that you take a look at Non-free content and Resolution:Licensing policy.

One reason why we try to keep our use of non-free content to a minimum is that it interferes with our purpose of building an encylopaedia which others can use, redistribute, build on, modify, and sell. There are many sites that use our content freely, in accordance with how our content is licensed (just attribution is required). But if we start allowing images where the copyright holder has given permission for "non-commercial use only", or for "use on Wikipedia only", it places a restriction on what other people can do with material that they find on Wikipedia.

So, while we're grateful when people give permission for us to use their images, if the images are not released under a free licence, we have to treat them exactly as we'd treat an image for which we had not received permission. In other words, we can only use them if we can justify their use under our non-free content criteria. And the two main questions to ask are: Would it be impossible for a Wikipedian to obtain or create a freely-licensed image? and Does this image contribute significantly to the article in helping readers to understand the subject being discussed?

I just thought I should take a few minutes to explain this to you, as otherwise you may be left wondering why your images are being deleted. Regards. ElinorD (talk) 16:08, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
