Fair use rationale for Image:Pulp_Marvin.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Pulp_Marvin.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. 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? Rettetast (talk) 19:55, 11 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Image copyright problem with Image:MADtvBunifa01b.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:MADtvBunifa01b.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Mad-TV-Logo.jpg) edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Mad-TV-Logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:23, 10 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:MADtvBunifa01b.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:MADtvBunifa01b.jpg.

Unreferenced BLPs edit

  Hello Deej30! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 944 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

May 2010 edit

  Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Cold Blood (Doctor Who). There is a Manual of Style that should be followed. Thank you. ╟─TreasuryTagquaestor─╢ 13:46, 30 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Cold Blood (Doctor Who). Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. If you wish to discuss this, please read WP:BRD and then go to the article talkpage. ╟─TreasuryTaghemicycle─╢ 14:01, 30 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I explained my deletion in my edit summary, if you are unhappy with it then you should be discussing it on the talk page rather than edit warring. U-Mos (talk) 14:18, 30 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
I am under no obligation to contact any editors before changing a section, I generally take a look for any over-stretched continuity points after every Doctor Who episode and cut it down accordingly. My edit summary was not an afterthought, it was an explanation. If you feel what you wrote does have a use then you should be discussing it. There is no excuse for edit-warring. U-Mos (talk) 14:57, 30 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
Again, I am very sorry if you considered me uncivil in any way. I have not and am not going to cast any aspersions on you as an editor, in fact I did not even know who had added the paragraph in question before deleting it. I have not thrown guidelines and policies at you at any point, in fact I generally refrain from doing so as I'm the first to admit I'm not the most well-learned editor when it comes to policy. I'm not going to get into a rather petty discussion about who "wins", I am simply trying to assure you that there was absolutely no bad faith in my edits. Let's leave it at that.

Deleting tags edit

Edits like this are unacceptable. Do not delete 'unreferenced' tags without resolving the issue, especially from biographies of living people. Please consider this a warning. ╟─TreasuryTagTellers' wands─╢ 15:11, 30 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Funkenstein 1 .jpg edit

 

Thank you for uploading File:Funkenstein 1 .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. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. 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. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator 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. SchuminWeb (Talk) 18:32, 28 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use File:NelsonC.JPG edit

 

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

  1. Go to the file description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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 the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VernoWhitney (talk) 20:06, 19 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. 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.

The article List of The Sarah Jane Adventures producers has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication this is a notable enough topic on its own to require a separate article, especially since these people are named in the Production section of the The Sarah Jane Adventures infobox. Fails WP:LISTN. Title not really suitable for a redirect - pretty unlikely search term - or I'd redirect.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ♠PMC(talk) 09:16, 24 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
