Fair use rationale for Image:Dustinimage.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Dustinimage.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. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, 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.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 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. --ais523 13:38, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

(I've elaborated on this in my answer to the Help Desk question.) --ais523 13:38, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

(Sorry, I wasn't online when you sent me your question and haven't seen it until now) To write a fair use rationale, consider the points at the fair use criteria and explain how the picture meets each of the relevant ones. (If it doesn't meet a criterion, you can request the image's deletion by placing {{db-author}} on it.) As for uploading images you've made yourself, look in the self-made section of Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for a licence that you're willing to licence the image to Wikipedia under, and use that one. --ais523 13:03, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Images

Wikipedia is for free content, that is free of copyright, not just freely available on the internet. Copyrighted images are allowed under very restrictive circumstances (see WP:FU), one of which is we don't allow images which are deemed to be "repeatable", such as those of living celebrities. Thanks, ed g2s • talk 17:50, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Have a look at WP:FU, specifically "Policy" point #1 and "Counterexamples" point #8. Hope that helps, ed g2s • talk 20:36, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Ford GT

An image does not belong in the intro section, nor should it be one that small. Most of all, it's an image of a GT40, hence it should go on the Ford GT40 article, which, I notice, you haven't added it to. Since the article currently lacks a picture of a GT40 Mk.IV, it might be more helpful to place it there, especially since the modern Ford GT is NOT based on the GT40 Mk.IV that you have pictured.

I'm not exactly sure why I would need to respond on my own talk page, when the message is meant for you. If you feel my reasoning is "questionable", then it might help if you explain how. The simple fact is that an image doesn't belong on the left hand side of the intro like that, it shouldn't be that small, and that the car you have pictures is a GT40 Mk.IV, which does not look like the Ford GT. The Ford GT is based on the earlier GT40 Mk.II. Hence your picture does not help the article in any way, since it does not illustrate how the Ford GT is based on the original GT40.

This should help. This is a GT40 Mk.IV, which is what you have pictured. This is a GT40 Mk.II. You tell me which one the modern Ford GT is based on. The359 (talk) 22:02, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

the359 just likes to be dogmatic and claim ownership over things. welcome to wikipedia! there are lots of crazy folks like him out there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Urbanarcheology (talk • contribs) 17:54, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
