Image copyright problem with Image:Dandrposter.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Dandrposter.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

Clerks II Posters

You said: "I found the images from Kevin Smith's official message board at viewaskew.com. Kevin Smith uploaded the images himself. I even cited the source (http://viewaskew.com/theboard/viewtopic.php?t=47404). I don't know what the problem is."

For Image:Dandrposter.jpg, the problem is that you forgot to include the detailed fair-use rationale as the license text indicates is required. For Image:Clerks2poster.jpg, you did not include information on the copyright status. --Yamla 21:32, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

You said: "I fixed it. Is it alright now?"

No. Please reread WP:IDP, particularly this bit on the fair-use rationale. You seem to have been providing extra information about the source of Image:Dandrposter.jpg. The source is fine.  :) You did not make any change to Image:Clerks2poster which requires both a license and, probably, also a hand-written detailed fair-use rationale. --Yamla 21:37, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

You said: "I'm still lost. This is my first time doing this."

Okay, most of the explanation is right here. The problem for Image:Dandrposter.jpg is that we know it is a copyrighted image but we are claiming that, because it is a movie poster, we can use it under the principles of fair use. But, as the license says, we need a detailed fair-use rationale for each use. That is, why specifically is its use in Clerks II okay? In fact, there's a very good chance that it is not okay because the image is of very high resolution. See this page for some examples of good fair-use rationales, but note once again that it probably can't be used as the resolution is too high. I am thinking it will probably have to be deleted. The same goes for Image:Clerks2poster.jpg but the more compelling short-term problem for that is that you have not given it an image copyright tag. See WP:ICT for a list of valid ones. Almost certainly the one you want to choose is {{Movie poster}}, again with the detailed fair-use rationale. --Yamla 23:39, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Clerks II (2006) poster.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Clerks II (2006) poster.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 22:37, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
