Vandal patrol

edit

Just a suggestion, but if you tag a vandal like a serious problem, even adding grulbling remarks like 'again', (s)he's likely to revel in the attention and may well feel important and hance be encouraged to repeat-offend; in my experience, we have a better change of discouraging vandalism by minimalizing it, or possibly putting it down in a dry style, something like "rv uninspired vandalism" (may sounds like a tempting challenge, but most vandals really are just brainless nobodies).

Fair use rationale for Image:OverRev0905.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:OverRev0905.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) 18:05, 24 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
