Wikipedia:WikiProject Fair use/Todo

This is just an outline of outstanding tasks for now. Feel free to flesh it out.

Fair use tag reform
Most of the existing "fair use" tags need several improvements; see WikiProject Fair use. A list of tags that have been rewritten and tags that have not been written is on WikiProject Fair use/Fair use tag reform. Please rewrite  tags that have not been rewritten so that they are more in line with the goals of the project. Don't worry if it's not perfect the first time around, this is a wiki after all. Suggested further reading before starting might be WikiProject Fair use and Fair use.

Re-tagging images
See WikiProject Fair use/Fair use tag reform for a more-or-less complete list of fair use tags, and Image copyright tags for a list of all common image copyright tags. For a slightly related to-do, see "Allowing us to automate removing orphaned fair use images" below.
 * Getting rid of poster - Re-tag everything in Category:Fair use posters with one of movieposter, eventposter, sportsposter, politicalposter, or fairuse or another fair use tag.
 * Using more specific copyright tags for things tagged as fairuse in Category:Fair use images - see WikiProject Fair use/Fair use image sorting for more details.

Monitoring
A monitoring proposal will be at WikiProject Fair use/Monitoring. As of this writing, the link is red, so any help writing the proposal would be appreciated. If you wish to discuss it first, see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Fair use. We've already created three tags – fairusedisputed, fairusereview, and oldfairusereview – for the purpose. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Fair use for more details about proposed use.

There will probably always be claims of fair use cropping up here.Geni 21:32, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
