Image:Romario br150x200.jpg

Hello, and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. I noticed you uploaded Image:Romario br150x200.jpg, claiming fair use. I corrected the licensing tag for you; the {{wikipedia-screenshot}} tag doesn't apply because this is not a picture of a Wikipedia page (it's a picture of a soccer player). So I changed it to the {{fairuse}} tag. However, this tag is not very good. It doesn't provide any kind of rationale for a claim of fair use. It would help a lot if you could change the {{fairuse}} tag to a more specific fair-use tag and provide a fair-use rationale. If you have any questions, please let me know. —Bkell (talk) 03:41, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Romario br150x200.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Romario br150x200.jpg. 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 Wikipedia articles 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 fair use images 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. Abu Badali 14:56, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
