Template talk:Fairuse rationale needed

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Contents 1 Purpose 2 Usage 3 Dates 4 Before 4 May 2006?

[edit] Purpose

This template is to tag fair use images which lack fair use rationales.

[edit] Usage

{{Fairuse rationale needed|month=June|day=9}}. You can also use the redirect shortcut {{Fu-ra-ne|month=June|day=9}}, or simply {{subst:frn}}.

[edit] Dates

I6 applies to images for which a period of 7 days since uploading has elapsed. As such, the only reason dates are used in this template is for subcategorisation; admins can actually just speedy any image uploaded after May 4 which doesn't have a fair use rationale and has been hanging around for 7 days, even if this template was added a few minutes before. (Nevertheless, I imagine most admins - being the lazy bums we are - will just rely on the categorisation. :p) Johnleemk | Talk 13:32, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Before 4 May 2006?

So what about images that were uploaded before 4 May 2006 but have no fair use rationale? joturner 03:08, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Yep, "me too". ?? --kingboyk 12:15, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
