March 2008[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Digital art do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Gwandoya^Talk 07:32, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Digital Art[edit]

If you're wondering why I removed your edit it's because you added a external link that's redundant to the article. And if you read the talk page for you'd see that there's been discussion since 2005 about adding external links to the page and the general consensus was not to add any - Gwandoya^Talk 22:04, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use[edit]

All Wikimedia projects are hosted in the United States, which is also where Wikimedia is incorporated; accordingly American law applies whichever language is being used. Note, though, that Wikipedia's policy for allowing non-free content is actually much more stringent than fair use under American law: meeting fair use under American law is necessary for non-free content to be included in Wikipedia, but it is not itself sufficient.

I don't know about Spanish Wikipedia, but I understand that some language Wikipedias do not allow any non-free content. —teb728 t c 01:15, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

In general, for non-free content the most reliable thing to do is simply pay close attention to Wikipedia's non-free content criteria. It's better not to worry about whether or not an image's usage fits within US Fair Use law since doing so is liable to confuse the issue due to that fact that Fair Use and the non-free content criteria are not the same (as Sarcasticidealist pointed out). -- Hux (talk) 05:56, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
