WP:FU violation

Your edits to Aishwarya Rai were reverted. We are only permitted to use freely-licensed images to depict living people. Please see WP:FU. Thanks. --Yamla 01:09, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

False licenses

Please do not add false licenses to the images you upload. For that matter, please do not upload images unless you are able to provide all necessary information. Thanks. --Yamla 01:11, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Tony Yayo article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

Feel free to re-submit a new version of the article. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 03:33, 16 January 2007 (UTC)


Fair use rationale for Image:Djgreenlantern-countdowntoarmageddon2backtothelab.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Djgreenlantern-countdowntoarmageddon2backtothelab.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.

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. ↔NMajdan•talk 17:29, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

The license itself is correct. But since the image is a fair use image, it needs detailed fair use rationale. Once that is provided, you can simply remove the notice I added.↔NMajdan•talk 17:44, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
No problem. You can find out more about fair use rationale at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline. I believe that page should answer any questions you have. If not, you can either ask me on my talk page or at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.↔NMajdan•talk 19:02, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Streetsweepers_Presents_Papoose-The_4th_Quarter_Assasin_-_Holiday_Hitman.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Streetsweepers_Presents_Papoose-The_4th_Quarter_Assasin_-_Holiday_Hitman.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 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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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. BigrTex 17:00, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Possibly unfree Image:Bahar_Soomekh-2006_Academy_Awards.jpg

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Bahar_Soomekh-2006_Academy_Awards.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. BigrTex 17:28, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Image Rationales

Someone needs to state why each non-free image being hosted by the English Wikipedia meets our non-free content criteria. This policy has been in place for more than a year, although it has not been well enforced.

Some reading for you to help understand what is going on with fair use images:

If, after reading the above, you still have questions about:

  • What is missing from your images
  • How to add the needed rationale to your images
  • How to request undeletion of the deleted images by providing a rationale to the deleting administrator
  • Where/how fair use images can be used under existing policy
  • Whether my actions are backed by community consensus

Please don't hesitate to ask on my talk page, or whichever of the above you feel most comfortable with.

I apologize that these notices came as such a shock to you, and that nobody stepped up to provide rationales for the images that have been deleted, although it does appear that you had a conversation about this same issue on another of your images in March. ~ BigrTex 16:57, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Without more specific questions, the best I can do is point you to an example, Image:Dottie West-Special Delivery.jpg, which I was asked to create a rationale for as an example. A number of people have used this as a basis for writing rationales of their own. ~ BigrTex 15:40, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Image:Bahar Soomekh-2006 Academy Awards.jpg. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:Bahar_Soomekh-2006_Academy_Awards.jpg in this case) or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

  • If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article [[Talk:Image:Bahar Soomekh-2006 Academy Awards.jpg|Talk page]] and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
  • If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at [[Talk:Image:Bahar Soomekh-2006 Academy Awards.jpg]] with a link to where we can find that note;
  • If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article [[Talk:Image:Bahar Soomekh-2006 Academy Awards.jpg|Talk page]]. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at [[Talk:Image:Bahar Soomekh-2006 Academy Awards.jpg]] with a link to the details.

Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a {{hangon}} tag on the article page and leave a note at [[Talk:Image:Bahar Soomekh-2006 Academy Awards.jpg]] saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action.

It is also important that all Wikipedia articles have an encyclopedic tone and follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you want to edit constructively, take a look at the welcome page. Thank you. Atari400 10:02, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
