Image copyright problem with Image:Manuelalegre.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Manuelalegre.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 12:38, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You

Thank you for the correction about my page. so, Japan and Portugal met in Age of Discovery. Portugal told Japan the gun and the cake of the West. The gun ended Sengoku Period. And, the cake of Portugal is liked now. (castella and konpeito)If we can exchange information each other, I am glad. :-) --HaradaSanosuke 21:14, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Cavacosilva.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Cavacosilva.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Oden 10:28, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

External links

Hello... you had a question about external links, specifically pertaining to the Heroes article. The Wikipedia guideline on external links outlines how unofficial sites, blogs, fan-based wikis and so on should be avoided. Part of the reason for this is to ensure that linked sites are reliable sources of information. In that respect, while "Heroeswiki" may be an interesting site, it is not necessarily a reliable one. The site encourages speculation about events in the series, which is completely opposite to what Wikipedia requires. Beyond that, however, the guideline exists to prevent Wikipedia becoming what is described as a "link farm". That is to say, if "Heroeswiki" gets a link, why shouldn't sites X, Y, or Z get one as well? (As an aside, the fact that there are articles with unofficial links doesn't mean that the Heroes page should have them as well - it only means that those other articles are not following the WP:EL guidelines. --Ckatz^chat _spy 17:18, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As for the "damage" note - apologies, but please understand that the more time one spends here, the more one encounters repeated changes made against guidelines, against consensus, and against extensive discussions as to how to proceed. After a while, it can become frustrating to have to fix the same issues over and over again. I certainly didn't intend to imply any malice on your part. Cheers. --Ckatz^chat _spy 17:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply. Actually, the Wii article you mentioned does serve to demonstrate a different aspect of the guideline. Fan sites such as "Heroeswiki" - while interesting, and fun for discussing theories - aren't necessarily good sources of reliable information. That is to say, HW editors might have a great theory about the meaning of the fictional tattoo, but the outcome of that discussion can't be used as fact on Wikipedia. IGN, on the other hand, provides a discussion about actual hardware and software. Given its established history, that site might then be considered as a reliable source for reviews of the Wii platform. What is acceptable, and what is not - and what context to place it in - is a bit of a grey area, and can vary from article to article, site to site, topic to topic. --Ckatz^chat _spy 18:11, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Zelda:TP Gerudo theory

"You asked: "You mean the Gerudo Mesa where the portal to Midna's world is located? Think about that before you put that theory back on the page."

Yes I meant that, anything wrong with it? I didn't put it as a fact, but as a theory, just to spark some discussion between people. Since I didn't present it as a fact I have no idea why you decided to delete it... I'm not the first to speculate of such theory, as I researched on some forums beforehand. Explain why it can't be in the page. If things such as speculation aren't allowed in the articles (even though I've seen a lot of them around and not being removed) then forget what I wrote. Thanks. Pedrovsk 14:46, 1 March 2007 (UTC)"[reply]

Where did I wrote that? I know I did, but I'd like to read the entire discussion to give a better answer, and I'm not capable of finding it myself. I have no clue what the context was. Anyway, I understand I deleted something that was speculation. Wikipedia:No original research, this should explain part of why I deleted it. Wikipedia is and should be treated as an encyclopedia. Now, how often do you find mere speculation in a "physical encyclopedia"? that's why there's no place for it on Wikipedia either. Speculation, in my opinion, is okay if the suggested theory is significantly stronger than all other options. And that is by having a lot more and stronger arguments than the other options, not by having more supporters/believers than the other options. In the latter case, or if the other options are just as likely, no theories should be mentioned at all. As for speculation being everywhere, I know, and I'm not happy about it. However, I'm not going through all the work of figuring out what could stay and what can not. Only if I see a very obvious one, I'll remove it. There are a lot of TLOZ pages I'd love to give the GA improvement. However, because the franchise has so many fans and enemies, my work would most likely be undone or mutilated within an hour at the most. If you see speculation, feel free to remove it, because there's no place for it on Wikipedia.DreamingLady 08:16, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:LaraCroftTombRaiderEvo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:LaraCroftTombRaiderEvo.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.

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. – Riana ^ऋ 12:23, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Forgottenhope.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Forgottenhope.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 01:09, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Hinoportugal.mid

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Hinoportugal.mid. 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.

Non-free use disputed for Image:APortuguesa.ogg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:APortuguesa.ogg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Lokal _Profil 11:48, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:LaraCroftTombRaiderEvoWAnniv&newTRII.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:LaraCroftTombRaiderEvoWAnniv&newTRII.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 02:09, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use image problems

I notice you have uploaded the image Image:Cavacosilva.jpg with the {{current tag name}} fair use image tag. However, this tag seems unrelated to the content of the image, and as a result it may qualify for speedy deletion. Image:Cavacosilva.jpg has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message.

If you can find a valid tag that expresses why Image:Cavacosilva.jpg can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the {{current tag name}} tag that you have placed on it with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{non-free fair use in|article name that the image is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the image. If the image has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it. However, you must not remove the speedy deletion notice. Thank you, and please feel free to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Dantadd 23:56, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Na verdade eu usei um template, nem sempre todo texto é adequado. Quanto à foto, a questão é simples: há uma foto disponível então não há fair use rationale mesmo que a imagem livre não seja uma maravilha. Em breve surgirá alguma melhor. O que me parece totalmente inadequado é usar non-free media simplesmente por caprichos estéticos. Dantadd 23:23, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
