Mariah Carey[edit]

Adding {{NPOV}} tags to articles without any explanation whatsoever is generally frowned upon. I think that the relevant section is balanced, well sourced and NPOV, so I removed the tag. If you have a problem with this and want to restore it, please leave an explanation at Talk:Mariah Carey when you do it. Thanks. Extraordinary Machine 17:15, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging Image:Sony-ericsson-v800.jpg[edit]

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Sony-ericsson-v800.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images 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 Image legality questions page. Thank you. JesseW, the juggling janitor 18:20, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Professor_Chaos.png[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Professor_Chaos.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. 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 13:41, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Madonna-give it 2 me s.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Madonna-give it 2 me s.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

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

This is an automated notice by STBotI. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 13:42, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:4971539x.jpg)[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:4971539x.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 06:29, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Cant_Speak_French_Girls_Aloud.png[edit]

I have tagged Image:Cant_Speak_French_Girls_Aloud.png 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. Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you.

Possibly unfree Image:Lapo_Elkann.jpg[edit]

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Lapo_Elkann.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is unclear or 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. Sherool (talk) 13:49, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

About Safari 4 screenshot[edit]

I suggest you reupload it without the Wikipedia logo, as the logo itself is non-free. As with the non-free content policy, we should use as little non-free material as possible. --Aeon17x (talk) 06:20, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not really privy on the legal aspects of the NFCC concerning the Wikipedia logo, but on the safe side I recommend you stick with the policy as it is actively enforced. The other mainstream browsers also do not have the Wikipedia logo on their screenshots for mostly the same reason. --Aeon17x (talk) 06:52, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:Safari4 9june2009.png)[edit]

Fair use rationale for File:Tweetie 2 timeline.png[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Tweetie 2 timeline.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file 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 'file' 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 "File" 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. ww2censor (talk) 02:26, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
