Image copyright problem with Image:TCW.jpg

Latest comment: 16 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The image Image:TCW.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

The following images also have this problem:

Clean up

Latest comment: 13 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi, just making a suggestion about this page, and about some of the other testcard articles. As it is small fragments of information are scattered across the articles and alot of non-free images are used to show these cards. It might be an idea to move the contents of these seperate articles into this one, or to merge some of the articvles around. One example may be to merge TC F and J together, as they are essentially the same without minor technological changes. Also, although images are good, there may be too many. You may want to consider thinning them down. Regards. Rafmarham (talk) 14:08, 8 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Missing images

Latest comment: 9 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Apparently there was some trouble with non-free images on this page that was "taken care of" by their removal. That's fine, but there should be a replacement image for each image removed with all fair use claims resolved, or at the very least mentions of these now non-existent images should be removed from the article.

Meldrum has the remaining images, but Adding them is an issue

Meldrum, where all the other TC images are from can easily fill in the blanks for most of these images.

I would add them, but lack basic knowledge of Wikipedia editing so, can't. Possible copyright issues also are floating around. It would be nice to have these images, but I'm in the dark of how to set the licence etc. If anyone else can do this and/or has figured out the licencing, please go ahead and add the images.
