Thanks for uploading Image:The_man.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 01:17, 3 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rikki Lee Travolta

edit

I think you have been influenced by the sockpuppets of this person. Please read Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Rikki Lee Travolta and Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Log/2006_April_5#My_Fractured_Life. Thankyou Arniep 21:04, 8 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

What in particular in the Chicago Sun Times? Arniep 21:19, 8 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
As User:Thatcher131 says on Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Rikki Lee Travolta it is unlikely the gossip columnist would have checked to see if the claims were true. See also User:Fan-1967's comment"
"As a daily subscriber to the Chicago Sun-Times, I would like to point out that Stella's column is primarily a local interest column. I know a number of people who have had a marriage, anniversary, birth or death reported in that column (either since she's had it or under its previous columnist, Irv Kupcinet), because a friend of a friend forwarded the information to her."

Fair use rationale for Image:Solnigerwithin.jpeg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Solnigerwithin.jpeg. 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 insure 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.BetacommandBot 05:03, 6 June 2007 (UTC)Reply


Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Cover-none-big.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Cover-none-big.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 within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 20:20, 13 February 2008 (UTC)Reply


Disputed fair use rationale for Image:MatandoGueros.jpg

edit

Thank you for uploading Image:MatandoGueros.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 16:22, 8 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
