Fair use rationale for Image:1GPL.png edit

 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:1GPL.png. 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. 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. –Dream out loud (talk) 04:43, 28 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:1GPL.png edit

 

Hey Mr. "Dream out loud" I do not agree with the rationale for speedily deleting my image. You should have contacted me first or waited for a copyright holder to complain. In any case, it was work of a US GOVT AGENCY and using TAXPAYER SUPPORTED FREE SOFTWARE... Jpkamil 03:50, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

NowCommons: File:1GPL.png edit

File:1GPL.png is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:1GPL.png. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:1GPL.png]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 12:48, 1 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
