List of Prime Ministers of Canada

[edit]
  • Object: (1) template usage is ridicilous - you have a huge templete for background color! And the table itself comes from a templete. (2) Picture copyrights are one huge mess, fair use pics don't have rationales. Renata 17:34, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't see why using a template is so objectionable (I note that I did not create it.) I thought all the images were now tagged correctly. Rmhermen 16:10, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Perhaps the objection is the lack of separate fair use explanations; however, the tag already states
"It is believed that the use of this photograph to illustrate the person in question,

in the absence of a free alternative, on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use.

As well, permission may have been granted to reproduce this image for noncommercial-only purposes, but this image does not fall under a free license. Commercial third-party reusers of this image should also consider whether their use is in violation of the subject's publicity rights."
what more could be added? Rmhermen 17:17, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the template makes the list completely redundand with Prime Minister of Canada. Also, users cannot edit it directly. Also, I quite strongly oppose such templates as Template:Canadian politics/party colours/Liberal. Images still do not have fairuse rationales, like Image:Paulmartin1.jpg. Also, I don't know if you can use such images here since its pretty much decorative. I leave that to experts. But in any way, they need rationales. And in any way, I object the list being featured.

You still haven't said what more the fair use claim needs that isn't in the tag already. Also I don't beleive that "direct editing" is a criteria to become a featured list. Rmhermen 18:36, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, per Renata. Use of templates to set colors is unnecessary and a waste of system resources. As per the rationales of images I quote point 10 of the fair use policy: "For each article for which fair use is claimed, the name of the article and a "fair use rationale" as explained in Wikipedia:Image description page. The rationale must be presented in a manner that can be clearly understood and which is relevant to the article in question." (Emphasis mine). -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 19:34, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
