Fair use rationale for Image:PogoPossum.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:PogoPossum.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 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 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 16:46, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:MattSmith(BritishActor).jpg

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:MattSmith(BritishActor).jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. The Parting Glass (talk) 18:45, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:MattSmith(BritishActor).jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:MattSmith(BritishActor).jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? The Parting Glass (talk) 18:59, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

you may have a conflict of interest

If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

Your relationship to 68.81.43.174

That IP address seems to be you. What is your relationship to that? Sharksaredangerous (talk) 23:53, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Images

I've posted a detailed explanation at Talk:List of webcomics#Image use of why the way you have chosen to license your image doesn't actually meet our requirements, because "for an image to be considered "free" under Wikipedia's Image use policy, the license must permit both commercial reuse and derivative works." That said, when we featured Megatokyo on the main page, I emailed Fred and after discussion with his lawyer he was able to create and freely license File:Mt-fredart-megatokyo.png which allowed us to illustrate his style. Now if you can find a way to do something similar, that would be amazing, but I understand that these things are complicated when you are a commercial enterprise. Feel free to contact me at my talk page if you need any further help on the issue. Hiding T 09:54, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Never mind

• Have just glanced at List of webcomics and noticed a new image has been uploaded which is perfect. Thank you very much, I wish all creators were as understanding and generous. Hiding T 10:03, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
