Talk:Mondo (American company)

Image galleries and non-free images

The use of non-free images in the image gallery section of this article does not really comply with WP:NFG. It would be better to incorporate these images into the article body itself near relevant sourced critical commentary of the concerned image. Moreover, it would also be best to pick one or maybe two representative images of the company's work per WP:NFCC#3a and WP:NFCC#8 and ideally these would be the ones which are clearly themselves the subject of sourced critical commentary and not just shown in an article discussing some other aspect of the company. Moreover, if there exists a stand-alone article about a particular image, then there's no reason to use it in the company's article per item 6 of WP:NFC#UUI Each of the images should also have a proper source including a link to where there copyright status, etc. can be verified per WP:NFCC#10a and not just a wikilink to the company's Wikipedia article. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:48, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

I understand where you are coming from and would like to offer my reasoning for the implementation of the specific images in question. I feel that the Cinemania poster is relevant because of its significance in the company's history. However, most of their posters that they have created since then are vastly different in design, so only using the Cinemania poster could give an outdated impression of the company's general aesthetics. Olly Moss and Tyler Stout have contributed numerous poster designs to the company, and I feel that each respective poster of theirs demonstrates the contrast between Mondo's minimalist and detailed posters. Since I already used the Star Wars trilogy image on the article for Moss, I felt that it was preferable to re-use it here than to upload a different work of his. I then used the vinyl soundtrack of Jurassic Park to convey the general look of their vinyl designs. –Matthew - (talk) 22:30, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

@MatthewHoobin: The individual files have been nominated for discussion at Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2018 March 18 by Sandstein; so, you're better off explaining how the files' uses meets WP:NFCC there. There are individual discussion threads for each file, so you should try to keep your comments separate as much as possible. If you're not familiar how WP:FFD works, then you might want to take a look at WP:GD and WP:AFD#Contributing to AfD discussions just for some general advice on how to contribute to deletion discussions as well as WP:AAFFD for some specific advice regarding image deletion discussions. Non-free use discussions focus on how relevant policy is being satisfied for a particular use or uses; whethert a file is deleted or removed from an article will be based upon whether a consensus is established to do such a thing; however, the burden is upon those wanting to use a non-free file in a certain way to clearly show that the particular use complies with relevant policy (see WP:NFCCE). An adminstrator will review the discussion and base their WP:CLOSE on it. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:15, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Olly Moss' Star Wars original trilogy posters.jpg

File:Olly Moss' Star Wars original trilogy posters.jpg 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 non-free use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Non-free 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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
