[edit] Your rights

In a message to Pegasus1138 ([1]), you asserted that preventing you from using fair use images on your userpage violated your constitutionally guaranteed right to freedoms of expression, religion, and political association. All of these freedoms come with restrictions; they are not absolutes. For example, while you have freedom of expression you do not have the right to setup a 5,000 watt sound system in a residential neighborhood and blast it at max volume at two in the morning. Similarly, you do not have the right to violate copyright laws that protect other people's rights to their property. Pegasus1138 noted that Wikipedia is a private entity, and as such you do not have rights here as guaranteed in the Constitution. He is correct. You have heard from three different people regarding the use of fair use images in userspace, two of whom are administrators. We have all told you that you may not use fair use images on your userpage. If you feel we are in error, I invite you to take up the matter with the Wikimedia Foundation, as they are the ones who established the policy which governs the use of fair use images outside of the main article namespace.

  • Regardless of how long an image has been improperly used, it still requires being fixed to eliminate copyright violations. I am unclear as to what you are identifying as being rogue administrator behavior. In looking at the block logs for you, I don't see any blocks [2]. Since you are able to post to this talk page, it appears you are not blocked anymore. It might have been possible that you were finding yourself blocked as a result of an administrator blocking an anonymous IP because of behavior on the part of the person operating from that anonymous IP, and you happened to pick up that IP after that person was done with it...depends on your ISP/connection setup. --Durin 17:56, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Also, I note that you created Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Kingsean1. At this time, you have less than 400 edits. Since June 27, 2005 there have been just three admins created from users who had less than 1,000 edits at the time they made a request for adminship. The lowest of these had more than twice the number of edits you currently have. You may wish to review some of the charts at User:Durin/Admin charts, in particular Image:SuccessRatevsEditsatRfA.png. According to that chart, tour chances of success will be at their best after you clear 2,000 edits. All the best, --Durin 17:59, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use image removal notification

I've previously removed fair use images from your userspace, and you have raised a concern about it. I've started Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Durin and fair use image removals. You may wish to review and comment. --Durin 13:47, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:001 Rodmond Roblin-1-.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:001 Rodmond Roblin-1-.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. 03:05, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

==Image copyright problem with Image:001 Rodmond Roblin-1-.jpg==
Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:001 Rodmond Roblin-1-.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. JodyB talk 23:01, 5 May 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Old Goldeyes.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Old Goldeyes.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 14:24, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
