Fair use rationale for Image:Shock+value.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Shock+value.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. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, 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.

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 fair use images 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. Yamla 17:04, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Blocked

Because of your continued violations of Wikipedia image copyright and fair-use policies after numerous warnings and numerous blocks, you have now been blocked for six months. Please note that during this time, you are not permitted to edit Wikipedia articles using this account, another account, or an IP address, nor are you permitted to request others edit for you. --Yamla 17:04, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Request of Unblock

-Those images have the right copyrights yamla! this isn't fair.One is a cover of a cd (Image:Shock+value.jpg) that is coming out and the other is a screenshot of the music player software on the site(Image:Jttour07.JPG).For once i uploaded the right tags and you block me for six months?!?!?! this isnt fair! I request a unblock because I have not done anything wrong in the last month and those pictures ahve been up for a WHILE.I put the right copyrights on both,what is the problem?? SIX MONTHS???!?!?!?!?this is not fair.you have really discouraged me from editing on this site.I understand theres been alot of problems with my images but this just isnt fair.I feel like this is personal.

Can you please point out where the detailed fair-use rationale is for either of these images? You've been warned repeatedly that images you upload must include a detailed fair-use rationale as well as the source and license. --Yamla 17:39, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I will be gladly to update the detaied fair-use information for BOTH if you unblock me.also I have a question about a image I am the creater of, (Image:Jtstpaul.jpg), Is there anything I need to add to that?

Image:Jtstpaul.jpg is fine. If you post your planned detailed fair-use rationales here for the two images, and if these meet the requirements, and if you swear to add rationales for all the images you upload in the future, I will strongly consider an unblock. --Yamla 19:18, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

ok, this is for Image:Shock+value.jpg

Fair use rationale for use in the article Timbaland Presents Shock Value

1.The image is an album cover from a photoshoot originally created by Geffen Records, and intended for wide distribution.
2.No free or public domain images have been located for this album cover.
3.The album cover does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the image in any way.
4.The album cover is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the artist in any way.

This is for Image:Jttour07.JPG

Fair use rationale for use in the article FutureSex/LoveShow

1.The image is used for the illustration and critical commentary of the articles it appears in.
2.Jive Records owns the rights to the software, meaning it is impossible to create a free version.
3.The image is not used to diminish Jive Record's income or The FutureSex/LoveShow tour income.
good?

A few things. First, Jttour07 is also being used on the Pink page. It is entirely possible that you did not add it there. Second, I can find no evidence that FutureSex/LoveShow is providing any critical commentary on this poster. It appears to be used solely for illustration which would be a violation of the copyright license. Finally, and this is new today so you are not being held to this standard, the Wikimedia Foundation is handing down a clarification on fair-use. This will likely result in us not being able to use fair-use images such as these two. This is a big deal. It means probably over 90% of the fair-use images currently on the Wikipedia will have to be deleted. I'm giving this to you as a heads-up. Anyway, please consider what I've said here and ignoring the bit about the Wikimedia Foundation, please reconsider the rationale for that second image. If in your opinion no fair-use rationale suffices, that's a reasonable answer as well. I'm not saying this is necessarily the case here, though. --Yamla 20:07, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Well I do agree with you on that it isn't providing any critical commentary.That was a typo.But it is providing a screenshot of the two people on the tour and as well as part of the tour dates to prove the tour dates on the article. so is this better?

Fair use rationale for use in the article FutureSex/LoveShow

1.The image is used for illustration and informational purposes of the artists featured in the article it appears in, as well as a direct source confirmation of some of the tour dates, as listed by Jive Records.
2.Jive Records owns the rights to the software, meaning it is impossible to create a free version.
3.The image is not used to diminish Jive Record's income or The FutureSex/LoveShow tour income.

also i will remove the image from the article Pink and replace it with the image that was originally there.

If this isnt right then I think it should be deleted until a better image is found. Im sorry,very, about my image uses on Wikipedia.I know me and you have had our run ins but I do think you are a very fair by the book editor.I swear to use rationale for future image uploads to the best of my ability.With that I still request a unblock.If not a unblock, maybe a shorter sentence?This was truly a mistake.

Image:Jttour07.JPG may only be used "for identification of and critical commentary on the software in question" according to the license. No fair-use rationale allows you to use it for any other purpose. So unless it is being used to depict the software (rather than the tour) and unless you are providing critical commentary rather than simply illustrating the software, it is a violation of copyright. Anyway, I am now sure that you are familiar with detailed fair-use rationales and will include them in future images that you upload. There may be cases where you use an image in violation of the license, or with an insufficient rationale, but mistakes happen. The main thing is that you are clearly going to add rationales to the images you use and to make a good-faith effort to do so correctly. You have been unblocked; blocks are not punitive and there's no reason to believe there'll be significant further problems. Have a great day! --Yamla 21:03, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate this alot, i will continue to find a valid copyright/rationale forImage:Jttour07.JPG so keep a eye on it for me :)

Re:What Goes Around

Sorry if that was harsh....but it's gramatically incorrect to not have a space after a period...not to mention *extremely* hard to read when you have a whole paragraph with no spaces. And I doubt there are "plenty" of articles like that... feel free to prove me wrong though. Thanks for your contributions to the article though :) GrahameS 03:28, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Night Runner

Hi. So sorry for the cover. Will not be done again! DuranDuran 09:05, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Night Runner is not superfluous!

Sorry about the misunderstanding but the orange cover is allowed on the page and it is great promoter. Please understand! Its just something different! DuranDuran 11:09, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Insulting language

I understand that you disagree with me but that gives you no right to insult me and call me stupid! Mate, I have things to say about you but i wouldn't go and vandalize your page with insults! This is totally superfluous! Sorry for the misunderstanding but... please! DuranDuran 20:17, 20 March 2007 (UTC) (navigator)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:WGAcap.JPG

Thank you for uploading File:WGAcap.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content.

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy.
