Fair use rationale for Image:Cyberstorm command screen.png

Image:Cyberstorm command screen.png is being used on this article. 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 this Wikipedia article 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.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.

As this is the first wiki page I've ever added a picture to, I've had a little difficulty with the fair use rationale. I understand the need to prevent breech of copyright. What I don't understand so well is why this image has been picked up twice and yet the other image on the article MissionForce:_CyberStorm was not.

It would appear that the two deletion attempts were by an automated process. I would request that if a human is reading this page, think again before deleting the image.

• Would the game's creators have added a "Print Screen" feature if they didn't want you to use it?
• Would the game's publishers object to an image of the game appearing in a fairly positive article on the internet?
• Is the image in any way reducing the publisher's ability to make revenue from the game?
• Is it ironic that Internet bots created by Humans to patrol Wikipedia are interfering with an article about a game where Humans are fighting for survival against Robots created by Humans to serve as their minions but that ultimately revolt and attempt to destroy their creators?

That last question is rhetorical. Of course, if proved correct, I'll be hunted down and killed by a wayward wikibot.

Anyway, I'd better go. My computer is making scarey noises....GordonTG 23:44, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I know. There´s a lot of copyright bullshit going around. Guess Wikipedia just want to be absolutely sure they won´t get sued. The fact that a non-profit organization even have to worry about that proves that we need some laws changed imo.Threedots dead (talk) 23:07, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey SPACEKNIGHT

How about at least mentioning a change like that on the talk page? Just a thought...Threedots dead (talk) 23:04, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I could have sworn this was a Classic Battletech rules engine game — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:46:281:3DC0:C0B9:1048:163E:EA68 (talk) 06:48, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
