Circles in the Stream

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Circles in the Stream, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Fair use rationale for File:ONOFF-Hanakou-HanaKagari-.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:ONOFF-Hanakou-HanaKagari-.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file 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 'file' 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 "File" 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. Vivio Testarossa^{Talk Who} 22:53, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:ONOFF-Hanakou-HanaKagari-.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:ONOFF-Hanakou-HanaKagari-.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. DAJF (talk) 00:46, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Copyrights on photos

You asked: "I can't confirm if any files I find on the internet of them are free. What would their personal blog photos be considered as?"

Here's the thing, Sunstar. You should always assume that all pictures online are copyrighted, unless otherwise specified.

Someone puts up a photo he took on his personal blog? It's copyright to him, and you don't have the right to submit it to Wikipedia.

The exception is if the photo's owner specifies that "this photo is public domain" or "this photo is available under Creative Commons" or some such license. DS (talk) 16:30, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
