Orphaned fair use image (Image:Tonyconigliaro.jpg) edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Tonyconigliaro.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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

The article says he was the first to fly in America. What, exactly, did he fly? --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 10:42, 2 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

In my research I have been unable to find a description of the flying machine used. It is interesting that the story is corroborated by several books and a bronze plaque on the side of Old North Church, yet no description of the flying vehicle is found anywhere. I can only assume it was a glider or human-powered craft rather than an independently powered machine. I wish there was more to say, and I'd be happy to provide you with additional resources if you're curious but there just isn't a lot information on this bizarre curio of history.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Tonyconigliaro.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Tonyconigliaro.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 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 (talk) 13:05, 21 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
