Commercial use of Image:Ginger1.jpg
editHello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Ginger1.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Ginger1.jpg is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).
If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.
If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.
If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Ginger1.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 11:04, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Redheads
editJust to let you know, I have nothing against redheads myself despite nominating Gingerism for deletion. This seems to be primarily a problem in the United Kingdom (as you seem to be aware) and I must say, that's sad. I no longer live in England and my nomination of the article for deletion is strictly because the term is a neologism. --Yamla 17:43, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
No problem :) I'm hunting down a few more cases where it's been used in the press recently as it seems to have been extensively used as a term in the last 12-18months though I'm not sure who initially coined it. I suspect it will likly end up merged/ redirected to the negative attitudes towards red heads in the red hair article (which I don't actually mind too much if there's a way of merging it together without stepping on anyones toes too much) I just thought it warranted a bit of discussion. Though it is odd that it seems to be a form of discrimination largly restricted to the united kingdom. I beleive but can't think of a source to directly cite that it probably came about because of tensions between the southern english and people from celtic backgrounds (especially the scots and irish).
I'm sorry the tone sounded harsh in the talk :). I'm just certain that after a certain point a word ceases to be a neologlism and becomes a word or term of note - and gingerism is sort of on the cusp of that etymological transistion at the moment - as it seems preffered to gingerphobia in the press.
Next tiem i submit an article i'll make sure I have a wide range of sources (rather than just interent ones) before i post it up :)
