Fair use rationale for Image:AllisonCrowe191l.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:AllisonCrowe191l.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. MER-C 13:07, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

hi - I believe the proper licensing categorization has now been applied to this, and all images submitted - cheers, Ad

Image:AllisonCrowecandle.JPG

I have tagged Image:AllisonCrowecandle.JPG 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. MER-C 13:08, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:AllisonCroweLittleLightalbumcover.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:AllisonCroweLittleLightalbumcover.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. SkierRMH (talk) 01:43, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Just saw this note. I don't check things all that regularly. Most definitely, though, we release Allison Crowe's music and album cover and more under CC licenses and - overall, there should be no copyright concerns with any of our music or images etc. I do believe Evil Spartan has kindly ensured it's all legit. I'll now go to the page you recommend. cheers, Adrian (Allison Crowe Music 250-537-1286 or management@allisoncrowe.com )

Hi, thanks for your note. Yes, it seems this has been settled. The image has in fact technically been deleted here on en-wiki, but has been uploaded on commons.wikimedia.org instead, so that all other wikipedias can also use it, and your permission has been duly registered there, so all is well.

excellent, thanks! this can all be a bit confusing, so, I'm happy to hear with the input from all quarters, things are as they they should be! Adrian

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 12:27, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen song)

Regarding this edit — why is that flawed? Rufus Wainwright's version has not sold more than Alexandra Burke's version, solely by the fact that Rufus Wainwright's version has never been released as a single nor bought by many as a download. It has never charted. Burke's version, in my opinion quite unfortunately, was officially the biggest selling single in the UK in the whole of 2008. Wainwright's version on the other hand only attained sales as part of the Shrek soundtrack and to judge that as more sales would constitute original research (e.g. I'm sure the large majority of people bought the album for the other twelve tracks too). I'm restoring the information. Stripping it out is an incredibly pointless exercise the lead should fully reflect the article. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 09:09, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion re File:AllisonCroweNewfoundlandVinylalbumfrontcover.jpg

I took the photograph - and thought I'd entered all the info correctly. I'll revisit the page and see if I can get it done correctly! cheers, Adrian

p.s. I see there is a notice on that page which confusingly states:

"This file is missing evidence of permission. It is attributed to someone other than the uploader, or to an external site which the uploader claims to represent or own, and while a licensing tag has been applied, there is no proof that the author has agreed to release the file under the given license."

I say that is confusing - as I am, indeed, the uploader and the pic is attributed to me. I shall keep looking at these notices - but, on reading this, I am unclear as to why someone or aomething would think that I am not the photographer and uploader. Any explanation is welecome, thanks, Ad

To simplify, Diana, it would be fine if there's a week after the pics are flagged - as I'd tend things. My intention was for the free use of the files uploaded - and any/all such files I've uploaded I have the full rights and authority to do so. The language of what's required can be confusing, and things can be further complicated if there is haste in deletion - as happened with the one image of Allison Crowe at the Man of Steel World Premiere red carpet - which was deleted August 19, 2013, the same day it's flagged, and, after I'd submitted an email to Wikipedia permissions. Diana, you've explained that it can take weeks to restore these deletions due to a back-log. Rather than making hasty deletions which don't serve people well, please allow for the flags/notifications to be addressed. Thank you, Adrian du Plessis
