(From US Copyright Office)

Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered “fair,” such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair:

the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;

the nature of the copyrighted work;

amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and

the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. The distinction between “fair use” and infringement may be unclear and not easily defined. There is no specific number of words, lines, or notes that may safely be taken without permission. Acknowledging the source of the copyrighted material does not substitute for obtaining permission.

The 1961 Report of the Register of Copyrights on the General Revision of the U.S. Copyright Law cites examples of activities that courts have regarded as fair use: “quotation of excerpts in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment; quotation of short passages in a scholarly or technical work, for illustration or clarification of the author's observations; use in a parody of some of the content of the work parodied; summary of an address or article, with brief quotations, in a news report; reproduction by a library of a portion of a work to replace part of a damaged copy; reproduction by a teacher or student of a small part of a work to illustrate a lesson; reproduction of a work in legislative or judicial proceedings or reports; incidental and fortuitous reproduction, in a newsreel or broadcast, of a work located in the scene of an event being reported.”

Copyright protects the particular way an author has expressed himself; it does not extend to any ideas, systems, or factual information conveyed in the work.

The safest course is always to get permission from the copyright owner before using copyrighted material. The Copyright Office cannot give this permission.

When it is impracticable to obtain permission, use of copyrighted material should be avoided unless the doctrine of “fair use” would clearly apply to the situation. The Copyright Office can neither determine if a certain use may be considered “fair” nor advise on possible copyright violations. If there is any doubt, it is advisable to consult an attorney.

Help?

MikeN: This isn't your usual thing, but will you consider commenting on some AfD nominations and merge-delete propositions that I believe are an attempt to drive off a good editor? (OK, she's my wife. But she's exhausted by this fight; her articles are written in good faith and this editor is making a mockery of WP.)

Fair use

Your user page and User:Mike Nobody/II appear to contian a large number of fair use images. I'm afraid that these are not allowed in the user namespace. Could you please remove them?Geni 12:14, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

I took much care in removing all your fair-use images and putting acceptable replacements in. You have reverted me, and are breaching copyright laws. Please remove these images. You are acting both illegally and in contravention of Wikipedia policy. [[Sam Korn]] 12:51, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Becuase the key part of fair use is use. We think we are ok useing the image in a certian way in a certian article. Useing it un a user page is unliekly to qualify under fair use rational.Geni 10:14, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

You are free to use images that are GFDL, Creative commons or public domain. Secondary use in non fair use contexts does reduce protection. Memory-Alpha and Uncyclopedia are not wikimedia projects and are therefore irrelivant. Asking you to remove those images is not censorship. Only goverments can censor. Read this a a final warning.Geni 21:00, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

The use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots for identification and critical commentary on the station ID or program and its contents on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. This is the license under which the big brother image at the top of this page is licensed under. You are in violation of it. Your signature is also, IMO, a violation of copyright. It is the only non-free image in my user space and will be deleted very shortly. Should these violations continue other, editors can and will replace them as Sam did. There are restrictions on what you may do in your user space. Violating the law is one of those restrictions.

User:Mike_Nobody/II

The above issue does not seem to be resolved, as you have a subpage full of copyright-infringing images which you have edited today. Is there any confusion on your part about whether or not this is okay that I, or someone else might be able to resolve for you? Are you clear on what images are under a license that can be used in userspace and which ones are not? Jkelly 00:10, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry if the diff was confusing; I was just pointing out that you had been editing User:Mike_Nobody/II but had not removed the copyright-infringing images on it. Your response to me suggests that you might not be clear on which images at User:Mike_Nobody/II are being claimed as "fair use" for our articles. Image:Cats and dogs 002.jpg is one. You can tell this by clicking on the image and reading the licensing information underneath the image on the image page. Same with Image:Elfman02 satan.jpg, Image:Alice Cooper face.jpg, Image:GG ALLIN DEAD.jpg, and others. If you have problems identifying them, I'll be happy to help. Jkelly 04:36, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

It's not clear to me exactly how much information you are asking for. We don't distinguish unfree-licensed material based upon the copyright-holder's contractual agreements with the artist, or the material's primary purpose. Wikipedia:Fair use criteria forbids use of unfree-licensed images in userspace. While many people might like to decorate their userspace with such material, one of the agreements that one makes in contributing to Wikipedia is that one will not do so. Thank you for understanding, and I trust that you will remove the images. Jkelly 00:09, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism

Regarding the page George W. Bush, please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. WAvegetarian ^(talk) (email) ^(contribs) 00:53, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

You said: What vandalism?...I make no apologies for adding to the historical record. Putting up a still image taken from video of the president that misrepresents his moving his hand across his face in an attempt to indicate that he was giving the finger to the American people is vandalism. You will get blocked for this sort of thing if it continues. WAvegetarian ^(talk) (email) ^(contribs) 01:23, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Regarding the page George W. Bush, this is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. WAvegetarian ^(talk) (email) ^(contribs) 01:26, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Upon further research, your insinuation that this was to the American people is utterly baseless. He was goofing off before the taping of something else. He never bragged about it. He said in response to the laughs it garnered from the camera crew, "It's just my one fingered victory salute." It never went to air. It doesn't add anything to the article. It certainly doesn't belong in his religious beliefs section. You are in violation of WP:POINT and WP:NPOV. Should you continue in such a manner I will refer you to an admin to carry out the warning above. WAvegetarian ^(talk) (email) ^(contribs) 01:43, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

You just demonstrated the POV you are editing from and the point you were trying to make. Furthermore you have no way of knowing if he knew if the camera was on. Someone, in fact, can be heard in the background asking whether it was caught on tape. As for "official public record," something in the circumstances that this was shot in is off the record. I strongly dislike Bush. I was a campaign representative for Kerry. I have an anti-Bush userbox on my user page. I do not, however, find your antics appropriate. I thought the "Dean scream" thing was out of line, and that was on the public record. There are enough things for you to ridicule Bush for without inventing them. Your continued argument over this only intensifies my belief that you are trying to make a point and are incapable of editing GWB in a neutral manner. As I feel very strongly about Bush's candidacy, subsequent election (in my book he was only elected once), and presidency, I have largely refrained from editing his article, only making small corrections or strictly factual, fully refrenced edits to correct more major errors. I similarly have refrained from editing Kerry's article to avoid problems with my personal POV. I suggest you do the same. WAvegetarian ^(talk) (email) ^(contribs) 02:23, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Please stop targeting one or more users' talk pages for abuse or insults, unwarranted doctoring or blanking. It can be seen as vandalism and may get you blocked from editing Wikipedia. --NaconKantari 01:16, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Your signature

Your signature is in violation of Wikipedia policy (Wikipedia:Fair_use#Fair_use_policy), see #9 specifically. The image will probably be deleted soon anyway as the image itself is in violation of other sections of that policy. When/if the image is deleted, every signature you have left will have a redlink in it to the nonexistant image. WAvegetarian ^(talk) (email) ^(contribs) 03:47, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

The above is fact, but what is "just like my opinion" is that it would probably be best to nix the image from your sig now to avoid going back and deleting all those redlinks. WAvegetarian ^(talk) (email) ^(contribs) 03:49, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

If the image is free clip art then one of two things must be true:

1. You created it yourselff, in which case you must add some form of self attribution license to the image page
2. You got it from a free use database of clip art, in which case you must state the source on the image page

WAvegetarian ^(talk) (email) ^(contribs) 09:05, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

You are correct that neither of these apply. I quote from the copyrights section: You are allowed to use the pictures for personal use as avatars, etc, but please don't say you drew them yourself ;) If you want to show them on your homepage add a link to this game. If you want to use them for bigger projects like cartoons, please send me an e-mail and tell me about it. Your use in your sig applies to the first sentence. Displaying it on Wikipedia would apply to the second. (Note that all images must be constructively used on a page somewhere or they risk being deleted.) The third sentence makes it very clear that it is not just not public domain, but not free use at all. This means that the only claim one could make to keep it is that it is fair use. According to policy, however, fair use images can't appear in the User namespace or in templates. Currently, those are the only places this image exists. I think it is unlikely to ever "contribute significantly to [an] article (e.g. identify the subject of an article, or specifically illustrate relevant points or sections within the text) and must not serve a purely decorative purpose." Since it seems you uploaded it for use in your sig, it doesn't meet policy. Sorry. I will note that however much I think it is annoyingly large, I do like your signature.

License tagging for Image:1950sc Coon Chicken Inn Menu.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:1950sc Coon Chicken Inn Menu.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

Image:Diet cherry vanilla dr pepper.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Diet cherry vanilla dr pepper.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. --– Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 20:55, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

"My interests in science have led me into a backdoor to Buddhism."

well, im not sure if you'll get my message here or what, but reading over your user page this quote really stuck out (to me). . .

"My interests in science have led me into a backdoor to Buddhism."

it's an interesting sentiment, and one i think to be quite logical (all things considered).

just wanted to drop a line to someone who seems to have a POV that would lend itself to interesting discussion. feel free to write me back about this topic or whatever else.

until then,

Fair use rationale for Image:Monty Python's golden honey spam label.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Monty Python's golden honey spam label.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. 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

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 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 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.BetacommandBot 23:44, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:15, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Lenny_Bruce_Mugshot_4-27-63.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Lenny_Bruce_Mugshot_4-27-63.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 12:36, 9 July 2007 (UTC).

If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Cats and dogs 002.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Cats and dogs 002.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 07:31, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:1950sc Coon Chicken Inn Menu.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:1950sc Coon Chicken Inn Menu.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia 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 non-free media 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. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:28, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (File:Lenny Bruce Mugshot.jpg)

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Lenny Bruce Mugshot.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. FileBot (talk) 05:40, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Spongehead

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Spongehead requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. bonadea contributions talk 00:32, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Spongehead

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Spongehead requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. ttonyb (talk) 04:46, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, as you did at Spongehead, you may be blocked from editing. If you need guidance on how to create appropriate pages, try using the Article Wizard. Zachlipton (talk) 04:47, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Non-Free rationale for File:Lebowski Fest 2nd Annual Poster.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Lebowski Fest 2nd Annual Poster.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under Non-Free content criteria but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a Non-Free rationale.

If you have uploaded other Non-Free media, consider checking that you have specified the Non-Free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.
