Fair use rationale for Image:Vildanden Logo.png

[edit]

Image:Vildanden Logo.png is being used on this article. 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 this Wikipedia article 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.

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 there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Images

[edit]

File:Vildanden 340.png has image sourcing issues. Please upload an alternative image or fix the sourcing issues with the current image.

Overall, the article is a great read and well written. Please fix these issues, and the article should be passed soon. Thanks -- warrior4321 14:41, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment from another editor.

WP:V states "Because this is the English Wikipedia, English-language sources should be used in preference to non-English ones, except where no English source of equal quality can be found that contains the relevant material." If there are no English-language sources for the info, then the Norwegian refs are OK. Arsenikk, have you looked for English sources on the material? Cheers, hamiltonstone (talk) 23:08, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the review. The prose thing has been fixed up. Regarding the Norwegian sources, please see the note from Hamiltonstone above: this is a local airline with, as far as I have able to see, no coverage from English-language sources at all. Nearly all the information here is referenced from the two local newspapers Varden and Telemarksavisa (supplemented by the county office of the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation). Almost all the information here is not even available in national newspapers, and I don't think anything has reached an international audience. I always use English sources instead of Norwegian ones when they are available. Think of it this way: this article is the most comprehensive text available anywere in the world about Vildanden in a non-Norwegian language. That is the beauty of Wikipedia :)
As for File:Vildanden 340.png, I do not understand what is wrong with the licensing. It is uploaded by User:KS-U92 on the Commons, stating "own work" and licensing it under GDFL and CC-BY-AS-3.0, which he, as photographer, is fully in his right to do. Arsenikk (talk) 09:09, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Note: the image is up for deletion; in the "source" section, it says "own work". Airplaneman ✈ 22:29, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That nomination was initiated by Warrior4321, that is why I am asking him for the rationale. "Own work" is what it is supposed to say if you take the image yourself and upload it, see for instance my last upload (File:Cockpit of 737-300 LN-KKU.jpg). Also, we cannot delete Commons images on Wikipedia; they have to be deleted there. Arsenikk (talk) 08:33, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have removed the deletion nomination since it is moot on wikipedia. However I do not understand the rationale for wanting the image deleted. There is a perfectly fine source and the uploader seems to be a editor in good standing on commons. The image is fine. Rettetast (talk) 09:09, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent, I have passed the article.
