Supreme Court cases

edit

I saw that you're adding a lot of info to the some Supreme Court cases. It looks great, but there is one tiny concern. Wikipedia style is to generally begin an article with the name of the article, the case citation, and then tell that it was a Supreme Court case (e.g. Roe v. Wade). It's not a big deal at all, this is just a heads up. And if you don't know, there's an entire project devoted to Supreme Court cases (see WP:SCOTUS). You should check it out. Thanks. --MZMcBride 17:47, 8 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Someone's claimed conflicting copyright on this article. This is a general problem when people put out content under multiple licenses (as you have a perfect right to do); Wikipedia needs some assurance beyond just the word of a (possibly pseudonymous) account that the content is copied with permission. Can you send the email referred to in the template that's been placed on the page? --Alvestrand 06:24, 29 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:Alton_coleman.png

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Alton_coleman.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. ShakespeareFan00 14:40, 8 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

I have tagged Image:Cfalling.png as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 15:03, 8 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
