License tagging for Image:Nicole-richie-vanity-fair04ll.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Nicole-richie-vanity-fair04ll.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 05:06, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Please do not claim that this image has no restrictions on its use. This is blatantly false. --Yamla 17:10, 12 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

More Pictures edit

You said: "For the images of Brad Pitt, Nicole Richie, and Peter Wentz. I have seen many other images been acceptable from magazine prints, the Brad Pitt Image shouldn't even be in question because it is a movie still, a movie is something that ANYONE can own. Peter Wentz has no picture, and it is important for him to have a head shot on his article. Nicole Richie also has no pictures, and that Vanity Fair article was an important event on her life, if you feel that what I chose as the copyright is incorrect, then please change it, or make a note of it, but you shouldn't have removed the images. thank you."

Your license tags were blatantly false. Also, you cannot just use scans from the insides of magazines. Such images are not permitted on Wikipedia. Additionally, you have not been providing the detailed fair-use rationale required for fair-use images. I encourage you to read up some more on image copyright before uploading any more images. Thanks. --Yamla 17:27, 12 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Copyright violation edit

You recently uploaded Image:Wmagcovbrad.JPG and added it to the article on Brad Pitt. This is not fair-use for that article, however, as the image may only be used to illustrate the publication of the issue of the magazine in question. As the article on Brad Pitt doesn't even mention this magazine even once, this image may not be used in the article. --Yamla 04:08, 5 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

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

 
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Tpgrace.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that 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.

If you have uploaded other fair use 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.

Image:Nrview.jpg edit

You said: "You said "Was being used to depict person, not to talk about that episode of The View."" Thats exactly right, I used to image to depict Nicole Richie and not the episode of the view. If I am wrong in putting the image, please direct me to the place where it says it's only correct to use an image of a television show to talk about the show itself."

Sure. See Image:Nrview.jpg. The license itself says "for identification and critical commentary on the station ID or the program and its contents". Note specifically that it does NOT allow you to use it solely to depict the person involved, as it was being used. You could place the image lower down in the page, attached to a section which specifically discusses her appearance on The View. But you cannot use it as the main image depicting Ms. Richie. --Yamla 15:28, 5 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Again, thanks edit

Myrockstar, I just want to say that it is refreshing to see an editor like you make an honest attempt to use images according to copyright. While you have made a few mistakes here and there, you are not getting angry when these are pointed out and you are clearly working hard to understand what the heck I'm talking about. Thank you, I appreciate it. --Yamla 15:29, 5 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

W Magazine Cover edit

We obviously have a difference of opinions here. Where Kate Moss is probably the ultimate representation of the magazine, where the editors/writers/photographers themselves have all stated so and Britney Spears just doesn't fit with the High Fashion idea. If you don't like this particular cover than I will switch it up with one of the other 28. I could still somehow include the Britney shot around there if you really love it so much. Bang Bang you're Dead

One other Kate Moss cover you mean? My image has no more fair use than yours. Also, I know what a "typical" cover of W magazine looks like and it's just ridiculous for you to think a cover with Britney Spears is it. Clearly, this is about your pov, when mine is based off fact. Where you probably are Britney lover, I simply want the magazine to be represented right. Bang Bang you're Dead
It is very very common for the covers to not be white and the makeup to not be dramatic. I could give numerous examples. I am not a Kate lover as you say, I just happen to know a bit b/c I love and know the magazine! Bang Bang you're Dead
Yes, that sounds like the best idea. I'll look around now for better references and the like. Bang Bang You're Dead 20:34, 17 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Image:Fantasyperfume.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Fantasyperfume.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 that provides substantially the same information. 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}}, 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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, 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.

On your deletions on Britney Spears' segment - 2007 personal problems edit

Please stop deleting out the details about events that have reliable sources. It looks as if you'r working to preserve your personal view of Spears and not being neutral. These details have been included by several reliable news sources covering the issue and several editors have been working to include them in the article and you keep arbitrarily declaring that its "too much information" and deleting them.

  • Please look at the following Wikipedia standard found at WP:LIVING
(emphasis added) "In the case of significant public figures, there will be a multitude of reliable, third-party published sources to take information from, and Wikipedia biographies should simply document what these sources say. If an allegation or incident is notable, relevant, and well-documented by reliable published sources, it belongs in the articleeven if it's negative and the subject dislikes all mention of it."

Fair use rationale for Image:Britstages.JPG edit

 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Britstages.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.
