Fair use rationale for Image:Estranged_-_Itu_Kamu.ogg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Estranged_-_Itu_Kamu.ogg. 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 10:09, 23 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use Image:Estranged1.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Estranged1.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 10:09, 23 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Re: Image:Estranged - Itu Kamu.ogg

edit

Hello, I really think you should rework this file a little bit more. "To promate this band using one of their famous song in Malaysia" is overbroad use of fair-use content. Basically, the rationale should explain why the sound sample is used in this article, how this sound sample improves the article - in other words, what makes the article better when we use a non-redistributable piece of work. "Promoting a band" is not something that improves the article; if it instead said it was an example of the band's musical style, it might be more justifiable. Also, "one of the songs" is too much. Fair use criteria specifically say that the non-free content should be used with "minimal usage" to convey the ideas needed, and posting entire songs in high sound quality is generally not considered minimal usage (most non-free music samples are 30 seconds at most and relatively low quality). Too big samples generally get deleted as copyright violations. Please read the fair use criteria. Also, the page is currently lacking all of the pertinent copyright and source information; what album is this song from, who holds the copyrights, when it was made, license tag is missing, etc etc. To see a much better filled license information, see this file, for example. Happy editing! --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 16:00, 23 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Problems with upload of Image:Estrangedphoto1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Estrangedphoto1.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is.

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Orphaned non-free image File:Logo dpm.png

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Logo dpm.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently 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. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:10, 3 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
