If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place Image:Tsvangirai-beaten.jpg listed for deletionAn image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Tsvangirai-beaten.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Abu badali (talk) 21:07, 9 May 2007 (UTC) Image:Francke.jpgThanks for uploading Image:Francke.jpg. I notice 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:
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 any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Abu badali (talk) 21:10, 9 May 2007 (UTC) Fair Use Issue and Speedy DeletionI uploaded [1] There is no public domain photo of Rend al-Rahim Francke. She is normally on TV programs which are of course copyright. She has been to press conferences which are also attended by the media and are again copyright. I cannot take a picture of her myself. There is no freely available picture of her. I spent considerable time looking for one. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Custodiet ipsos custodes (talk • contribs) 22:50, 9 May 2007 (UTC).
It is legal under fair use to use a copyrighted photo of someone for scholarly use if no free image is available. According to you it should not be. However the US courts have clearly allowed it. Even wikipedia allows it. Wikinews:Image_copyright_tags I quote: "If this image is of a living person, it should not be used without first making an effort to find a free alternative (at the very least, search mayflower and yotophoto). Should you find and upload a free alternative, please label this image as depreciated." You are in effect outright banning any fair use of a photo of a living person because maybe some time in the future, someone somewhere may obtain one. That is extreme. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Custodiet ipsos custodes (talk • contribs) 23:43, 9 May 2007 (UTC).
Even if you think that all regular photos of living people don't qualify under fair use please note the following about: Image:Tsvangirai-beaten.jpg a) no public domain photo is available. b) This picture is of the injury of Tsvangirai. He got badly beaten up by the Zimbabwean government. He has since healed after he was in the hospital. The point of the photo was to illustrate the barbaric and illegal nature of the beatings. It also was trying to demonstrate that the demarcation between his head and face was blurred as a result of the beatings. The article talks about it. He also was hurt very badly in one eye. The photo shows that. A photo of him in the future like this will not be possible, because hopefully he will heal. Additionally people in Zimbabwe are very very poor. Its almost certain that no-one has a non copyrighted pic of him in this bad state. I know the Zimbabwean government tried to suppress all photos of him in this state for political purposes. To understand more please read the end of history of Zimbabwe. Custodiet ipsos custodes 00:25, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
lost revenueYou said "The BBC is not going to lose revenue over this.". This image, according to the logo at it's bottom right, is from Agence France-Presse, a news agency whose whole business model is based on licensing images like this one for a fee. Everytime one used one of it's images freely, it's lost revenue for them. --Abu badali (talk) 01:14, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
An Automated Message from HagermanBotHello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! HagermanBot 23:59, 9 May 2007 (UTC) Fair use policyJust wanted to drop a note that, yes, Abu badali has a point about some of the fair use issues. In my opinion, the beating picture may be okay since that at least depicts an event that won't happen again, but copyright images of living people are generally not permitted if the only use is to show what they look like, especially if that use competes with the copyright holder's ability to profit from their ownerhips of the image. Mangojuice 16:28, 10 May 2007 (UTC) Adding my two penn'orth to this. I've looked at the picture of Rend al-Rahim Francke, and your argument on the talk page of the image. It's just not arguable that she is impossible to photograph in my opinion. She seems to be an exceptionally public person. One thing that occurs to me is that, since the article mentions that Francke shared the First Lady's box with Laura Bush during the 2004 State of the Union address, there may well be public domain (US government) pictures of her. There could also be public domain pictures from her brief time as Iraqi ambassador to the United States. Finally if she's in and out of TV studios all the time it's impossible to argue that she's inaccessible. It should be easy enough to hang around outside Fox News or CBS or somewhere and get photographs. --Tony Sidaway 16:46, 10 May 2007 (UTC) ResponseKeep in mind that the images at Bill O'Reilly (commentator) are not actually comparable. They are copyrighted, yes. They depict him, yes. But they also depict him in a context that (1) is clearly more than merely decorative, (2) cannot be replaced with a free image, and (3) their use does not diminish the value of the original work, all three of which may be a concern for the Francke image. If there was a good reason why it would be impossible or extremely hard for anyone to obtain a free image of Ms. Francke, that could be used as a good argument for not deleting this one. See, for instance, Image:JD Salinger.jpg for a case where this argument is appropriate. However, Ms. Francke, as far as any of us can tell, is not nearly the extreme hermit J. D. Salinger is, so I don't think it's at all correct to say that it's extremely hard for someone to obtain a free photo of her. I do concede, I'm sure it would be difficult for you if you don't live somewhere she frequently and openly visits. Have you tried writing to her and requesting a freely license photo? See Wikipedia:Boilerplate requests for permission for some boilerplate letters you might use in such a request. I concede that I am not as familiar with fair use law as I am with Wikipedia's fair use policy, which is a different thing. Maybe your arguments would help Wikipedia win a copyright lawsuit over the use of this image, but that isn't the threshold on Wikipedia for whether we are willing to use fair use images or not. The threshold here is significantly more conservative. (Keep in mind, for instance, that Wikipedia is free for anyone to use, including for profit, for instance, see Answers.com. So just because Wikipedia isn't making money doesn't mean that no one else could be making money from the content.) The policy here, in terms of images of living people, is that we don't use them unless it would be impossible or effectively impossible for Wikipedia to obtain a free image that serves the same purpose. I can't point you to anywhere in the law it says this is the only way we could do things legally, but I can point you to WP:NFCC which describes Wikipedia policies, and this post from Jimbo Wales who gets to make the rules when he wants to.

However, we really need an official record of the permission, and a statement that the image is released under the CC-BY-SA-2.5 or another suitable license. Could you please e-mail Ian Larsen again and ask him to e-mail a statement to OK. I will email him again. (I Included his email on the image page.)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Morgan Tsvangirai.jpg)Thanks for uploading Image:Morgan Tsvangirai.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).

A tag has been placed on Image:MorganTsvangirai new.jpg, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason: Copyright holder only gives permission for use on Wikipedia. The image is not free, and the copyright holder does not specify by cc-by-2.5 license.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging.

ShadowHalo 02:34, 2 June 2007 (UTC) DRVSimple: there was nothing wrong with how the debate went, so I see no reason the issue needs to be "appealed." I made the argument, it was clear, it was considered, but in the judgement of an independent, neutral admin, the argument wasn't convincing.

At least 70% of Sudan's oil revenues have been used by Khartoum to purchase attack helicopters, Antonov bombers and small arms used to kill and inflict immeasurable suffering upon the population of Darfur."
See first link: China’s rise: Hope or doom for Africa? (III) "Amnesty International last month accused China of continuing to supply the Khartoum regime with arms in violation of an international embargo. Earlier this year the Chinese government even offered to increase military cooperation with Khartoum."
Can LeBron save Darfur? " For more than a year, Sudan has resisted U.N. attempts to post a peacekeeping force in Darfur, where more than 200,000 ethnic Africans have died since a 2003 uprising. The government has shrugged off diplomatic gestures, foreign divestment campaigns, economic sanctions and entreaties from celebrity activists including Mia Farrow and George Clooney. Sudan has reason to listen to China, which has invested billions in Sudan's oil industry, buys two-thirds of its oil and sells the Sudanese army the weapons that end up in the hands of the murderous militias. But China is reluctant to pressure Sudan, so the strategy now is to pressure China."
Why China Blocks Sanctions on Iran, Sudan, Burma "The People's Republic of China, a veto-wielding permanent member of the U.N. Security Council and one of the world's prolific arms producers, continues to remain a major stumbling block to U.S. efforts to impose economic and military sanctions on three countries: Sudan, Burma (Myanmar) and Iran. "The reasons are obvious," says a Southeast Asian diplomat who closely monitors the politics in the region. "Just as much as the United States and other Western powers protect their own political and military interests worldwide, so does China." With the threat of its veto power, China has expressed strong reservations over recent U.S. and Western attempts to either penalise or impose sanctions against Sudan, Burma and Iran for various political reasons. But the 15-member Security Council has been unable to take any action against any of the three countries because of opposition from China or Russia -- or both. " "According to the AI study, more than 200 Chinese military trucks -- normally fitted with U.S. Cummins diesel engines -- were shipped to Sudan last August, despite a U.S. arms embargo on both countries, and the involvement of similar vehicles in the killing and abduction of civilians in the politically-troubled Darfur. The study, titled "China: Sustaining Conflict and Human Rights Abuses", also cites regular Chinese military shipments to Myanmar, including the supply in August 2005 of 400 military trucks to the Burmese army despite its involvement in the torture, killing and forced eviction of hundreds of thousands of civilians."
China urges patience on Sudan, opposes sanctions " "New sanctions against Sudan would only complicate the issue," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu told a regular news briefing. "China appeals to all parties to maintain restraint and patience." Beijing, which has veto power on the U.N. Security Council, is a major investor in Sudan's oil industry, sells Khartoum weapons and has invested heavily in its infrastructure. It also opposes sending U.N. peacekeepers to Darfur, where the United Nations estimates that fighting by government-linked militias and rebel groups has killed 200,000 people and forced 2 million more to flee their homes, without Khartoum's consent."
China, Russia bar Sudan sanctions "Russia and China say they will oppose UN sanctions against four Sudanese officials accused of involvement in continuing violence in Darfur. Russia's UN envoy said the Security Council should delay sanctions until Sudan's talks with Darfur rebels reach an African Union deadline of 30 April. The Chinese UN envoy also said the time was not right for the measures proposed by the UK and the US." "Russia and China have long opposed sanctions against Sudan. Both have strong trade links with Khartoum."
Bush Announces New Economic Sanctions on Sudan to Halt Darfur Crisis "The U.S. Mission to the United Nations has already drafted a resolution and plans to start discussing it with allies on Tuesday, a Security Council diplomat said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly on the issue. But a U.S.-backed sanctions resolution is expected to face a tough time in the council, not only because of longstanding opposition from China which has strong commercial ties with Sudan but because of the timing."
As you had readThe R and C underming saction didnot relate to the arms used by Sudanese militia,so why bother remove it?--Ksyrie 21:08, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Attrocity1.jpgThanks for uploading Image:Attrocity1.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 13:54, 26 October 2007 (UTC) History of ZimbabweThree reasons:

1. I showed how MigrationWatch had documented abuse of the asylum system. 2. I stated both sides of the issue of deporting criminals liable to future torture. 3. I wrote "Its defenders claim its warnings have been vindicated and that MigrationWatch's research has opened up the debate on immigration for the first time since the late 1960s.[34] They also claim that MigrationWatch is merely advocating a legitimate position that net immigration to the UK is to the country's detriment."
IMHO one of the reasons this subject is so difficult is that merely admitting that one has a political agenda effects how the issue is seen. If it was health care no-one is too ashamed of admitting where on the political spectrum they are and how it informs their viewpoint. Here however if one admits one's viewpoint one loses respectability and politcal support. So many want to play games and pretend they are only looking at objective data. Additionally this question effects questions of self and group identity which are quite primal and not susceptible to rational logic. On the flip side quite often there is evidence that the immigration numbers are much higher than predicted. Thus it is legitimate to ask a government to explain that they said only x people would come when 10 times x did come. But even this is complicated by the fact that the UK's economy is booming partly as a result of migration. Opponents might sometimes ask about the permanent consequence on the culture of the UK. But this too muddy water. Aren't people entitled to adopt a culture of their choosing so long as it is lawful? Do those who oppose immigration think they can mandate what the culture of the country should be? Yet here still the situation is complex in that cultural cohesion provides people with a sense of well being, low crime and social cohesion. Some people may say that they will be miserable if the culture quickly changes due to an influx of newcomers. Perhaps their happiness should be weighed in the equation? This contradicts somewhat with the liberty of the individual even if they obey the law. Well perhaps we can, as objectively as possible, explore these issues, and try to document this cultural and political conflict. It has been my sincere effort to write an article that is neutral. Recently the article was rewritten so that it was grossly biased in favor of MigrationWatch. Furthermore I have addressed the issues of Wikipedia:No original research. Indeed a number of other editors validated the paragraphs. Custodiet ipsos custodes talk 18:19, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Yvo de Boer.jpgThanks for uploading Image:Yvo de Boer.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged. As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 00:35, 2 May 2008 (UTC).
