Orphaned non-free media (Image:Photo-productswilthorchid-small.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Photo-productswilthorchid-small.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. BetacommandBot 13:35, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:102 kirby will 071807.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:102 kirby will 071807.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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Will Kirby

Hi, I see you have uploaded a lot of images. All of those images are not "free", so we need to justify any that we keep. I have done that with two of them: Image:Press8bt.jpg on Dr. 90210, and Image:1306090810 s.jpg‎ on Will Kirby‎.

I think that Image:Splash image.jpg should be deleted as a duplicate of Image:Press8bt.jpg; do you have a problem with that?

Image:African spurred tortoise.jpg is also not defensible in my opinion, as we already have lots of similar images here: commons:Geochelone sulcata.

As for Will Kirby, there are three photos; I think we only need one:

• Image:Drwillwebpicwiki.jpg
• Image:102 kirby will 071807.jpg
• Image:Photo--blue-drwill-1.jpg
• Image:Wk-at-office-2007.jpg

Also, I dont think we need this photo of some product:

• Image:Photo-productswilthorchid-small.jpg

Let me know what you think by adding a comment here. John Vandenberg 11:08, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

My problems as far as orphaned pictures is random people are deleting the pictures. I have Dr Will Kirby's permission to use pictures available on his webpages here, as he likes the page kept updated. There is more than one picture because one is from 5 years ago when he won BB2 and there are newer more recent shots, ie for Dr. 90210 and of him today. The product picture is his product line. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Capricornsrule (talk • contribs) 20:26, 14 September 2007

Thanks for responding. I can see that you are having a battle with these images. Wikipedia has a lot of automated tools that try to remove images unless they are "justified". This is because lots of people upload copyright photos without having a right to do so. Having Dr Will's "permission" is not sufficient, as the images are still copyright to someone, which means they are not "free content". Which picture is BB2? Could you ask him if he is willing to release one or more of these photos into the public domain or re-license them as creative commons - please inform him this will mean that other websites could also use the images. John Vandenberg 21:25, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Drwillwebpicwiki.jpg is the picture that was taken right after BB2, the others are more recent. One picture is the promtional picture used on Dr 90210. Knowing Dr Will only as an interested fan, I added to his wiki article with his permission, but I am a newbie to wiki and I don't think I understand the process. I almost wish I hadn't touched the page, but it was out of date and unfinished. I know he'd love having his picture everywhere. I'm not really sure how to delete orphaned pictures.

You are doing a good job of updating the article, and it is appreciated. However while your words are freely given to Wikipedia, we need images that are also freely given to Wikipedia. That is a lot more difficult, because the photographer owns the copyright. As a result you need to seek permission from whoever owns an image before uploading it, or you can upload photos that you have taken yourself. You dont need to worry about deleting the images; there are automated processes that will do that. John Vandenberg 07:26, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:1306090810_s.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:1306090810_s.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 after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ohconfucius (talk • contribs) 04:11, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
