Replaceable fair use Image:Wcco on plaza.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Wcco on plaza.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ViperSnake151 00:28, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

FrugalReader deletion

Hi Ksax. I deleted FrugalReader (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) because the article failed to assert the importance of the subject, in other words, the article didn't say why the the subject met our notability guidelines for web content, Wikipedia:Notability (web). I urge you to read this page as it contains important guidelines for articles about web content and though the website may merit inclusion in Wikipedia, the article needs to state why. And for the record, the page was deleted three times before previously before I had deleted it recently (see deletion log), and so I protected it from recreation, although I can remove the protection so you can rewrite the article up to standard with Wikipedia:Notability (web) and hopefully not have it deleted again. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. Spebi 03:01, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi again Ksax, and I apologise for the lateness in my response to your query. I have viewed User:Ksax/FrugalReader and come to the conclusion that from the information and sources provided in it may not satisfy notability criteria. The article provides two sources, the first is this article from SmartMoney; which explains some of the basic details of FrugalReader. A criterion for inclusion in Wikipedia is significant coverage in multiple reliable sources, but this excludes sources that state "a brief summary of the nature of the content or the publication of Internet addresses and site" – quote from Wikipedia:Notability (web). The second source provided, an article about online book sharing from USATODAY.com, contains merely a quote from FrugalReader's CEO. I'm afraid that it does not appear that the FrugalReader site is notable, but if it is, the article in your subpage does not state if it is, and why. Spebi 21:21, 23 December 2007 (UTC)


Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Page view sid.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Page view sid.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 06:47, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:KAWB 1995.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:KAWB 1995.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 image 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 '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. Shell babelfish 12:47, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:KCCO new.jpg)

⚠

Thanks for uploading Image:KCCO new.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shell babelfish 12:47, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
