Regarding your edits to the George W. Bush article, could you please discuss them on the talk page. Izehar (talk) 13:19, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] George W. Bush

I think it is a valid one - unfortunately, that article has been subjected to repeated vandalism, so most users now, out of habit, will revert edits by new or anonymous users on sight. That's why in my opinion, you should leave your proposal on the talk page, and ask a user who has been here for longer to make the change. You probably know that all articles aren't treated this way, it's just this one; check its edit history to see why. Izehar (talk) 13:48, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:MarcM.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:MarcM.jpg. 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.

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 insure 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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. MER-C 13:29, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
