Dear Melesse, Thank you for taking your time and informing me about the issue. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Alexatrafficrankingsrxpg.JPG I have added a Fair use rationale in the image talk page and removed the the template as per the instructions. Have a nice day. BGMTalk | Work 20:53, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Images are to be used in articles, if they are not in an article, then they will be deleted. Melesse (talk) 03:29, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

There are a LOT ofuserboxes that include pictures. Not all of them are in articles. Where are these pictures kept safe from deletion ?

Thanks for showing me that ; i couldnt find any wikigeslation (wiki legislation) on userboxes. so basically i need to own the image cos the rules are stricter for userboxes than the simple article ones.

btw how do you find out about people uploading pictures so quickly ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Machete97 (talk • contribs) 18:28, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

intentional deletion?

You deleted Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion/2008 March 21 as "G6: Housekeeping and routine (non-controversial) cleanup". I've never seen an IfD discussion be deleted before; much like AfD discussions I thought they were kept for the history of discussions. Is this a change in process, or an unintentional deletion? — pd_THOR | =/\= | 14:50, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm used to deleting categories that way after everything's cleared, but you're right, I should have thought of that. Silly mistake of mine. Melesse (talk) 17:07, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Your deletion of Image:Books fishing for fun.jpg

Why was no notice of this given at the pages where it's linked? How was anybody supposed to know that it was proposed for deletion? Please restore the image and notify affected parties so people can dispute it, or correct whatever's wrong with it. It's completely unfair that images suddenly disappear before anyone has a clue there's an issue. (If the issue here was the lack of a fair use rationale, then you should have taken into account that when it was uploaded there was no such requirement. When was anyone supposed to have added one?) -- Zsero (talk) 13:24, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for restoring it. -- Zsero (talk) 14:36, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Rayman.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Rayman.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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

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 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 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. Kelly hi! 02:41, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

pictures

hi melesse i heard you have some knowledge on uplodaing pictures??? i you do could you please reply?? thanx P m kocovski (talk) 05:26, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Can we just comment on ur page if thats alrite? On the website http://www.makedonija.info/language.html there is an image of the Macedonian speakers. Could you help me in uploading it? And also http://www.ethnologue.org/show_map.asp?name=GR&seq=10 on that page the map? i have uploaded them before but they were both removed thanx. P m kocovski (talk) 05:46, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't know which picture you're talking about on the first page, the top one with letters? The map was removed because it is a image, meaning it's copyrighted by someone (probably that site or someone who works there). And since it's a map that means someone could make a freely licensed image. That's the most important rule of fair use images: If someone could make an image and license it freely, then you have to ask them to do that, you can't use a fair-use image instead (there might even already be a free one around, try looking on Wikimedia Commons). Melesse (talk) 05:53, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
No, with the first one if you scroll down a bit you will see the heading Macedonian and Neighbouring Languages and it is there. and it writes i think use of the macedonian language. I remember reading on the terms of use for the ethnologue.com it may be used? could you please get back to me thanx. btw wat is free use? P m kocovski (talk) 05:58, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Terms of Use for Maps These maps may be used in reports, presentations, displays, and other uses as long as they are not altered. They have "watermarks" on them to remind users that these are for private use and not for distribution to others, either as printouts or as computer files, except as noted below.

Permission You MAY print or post copies of the JPEG versions of these maps if (1) the copyright and "watermark" are not removed, (2) the graphic is not modified, and (3) no more than three SIL JPEGs are used in any one publication or internet site. Any other use requires prior written permission from SIL International.

These maps may not be displayed on an internet site containing adult or other content objectionable to SIL International.

Sorry, still don't know which picture you're talking about, I see a picture with letters (not that one), then an old-style map, and then a picture of a monastery. Free use means it has to be free to use anywhere and I believe it also has to be allowed to modify it. Since Wikipedia is a reference site, then other sites may come here to get pictures. That site has a restriction saying that their pictures can't be used on adult sites or other questionable sites, so they can't be used here, in case someone comes to Wikipedia and takes the pictures to put on their adult site (which is totally possible). Melesse (talk) 06:05, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Yep thats alrite, i was talking bout the old-style map, above the monastery. Oh ok i understand now :). Sorry to be a pain but what about the map at the EXTREME bottom of this page http://maps.blog.com.mk/ (east central and southeastern europe map) is that also 'free use' or can it be used on wikipedia under another category. thanx P m kocovski (talk) 06:10, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
I really don't know. I'm tempted to say yes, but just to be safe I think it would be a good idea to ask someone at the Graphic Lab to redraw the map (also just because it's pretty hard to read). Melesse (talk) 06:21, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
ok thankyou melesse i was wondering should i see the people at graphic lab about the old-style map on http://www.makedonija.info/language.html or the map on http://maps.blog.com.mk/ (east central and southeastern europe map) ??? P m kocovski (talk) 06:24, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Actually now that I think about it, I really don't know the rules for maps. I can't think of anyone specific who is good with them either, so try the copyright help desk, hopefully someone who really knows their stuff will answer your question quickly. Just say you want to use these maps in whatever article you're going to put them in, but you don't know what license they are. Haha, sorry I ended up being not that helpful. Melesse (talk) 06:33, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Thats alrite! i will try both copyright help desk and graphic lab. is there a specialist section (on wikipedia, like a talk page) for uploading images? P m kocovski (talk) 06:39, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, the copyright help desk. Melesse (talk) 06:40, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the help :)!P m kocovski (talk) 06:42, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Fair use reduce on Image:RickRoll.jpg

I have reverted to the original version of Image:RickRoll.jpg, which you replaced with a downscaled version of in accordance with {{Fair use reduce}}. The problem with the smaller version is that it makes the text in the image completely illegible. I believe you and Bkell may be misinterpreting the "low resolution" requirement of fair use. For a discussion, see Template talk:Non-free reduce#Gross_misunderstandings_of_Resolution. In this particular case, the video screen shot is already degraded, so its number of pixels is not relevant, and the text cannot be "reduced" without destroying its usefulness. Please let me know if you have any questions / comments. Thanks. —dgiestc 20:26, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Image Question

Hey Melesse, I have a question for you. Is there a way you can undelete this image? I'm not sure if Wikipedia saves files that are deleted or not. I didn't catch it being deleted - if I did, I would have fixed the licensing on it. Thanks --Dan LeveilleTALK 23:13, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Your edits to Image:Lark Rise Virgin Records.jpg

Thanks for your help with getting the page right. This was one of my early attempts and in need of fixing (not that my recent one are much better...) --Old Moonraker (talk) 06:57, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

All the images i have used so far is being diplayed in a separate page (User:Shivaji Mitra/LesTout.com) as requested by Admin עוד מישהו. Should I add the {{not orphan}} in all the images?

Non-free use disputed for Image:NYPD-Blue-tv-03.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:NYPD-Blue-tv-03.jpg. Unfortunately, I think that you have not provided a proper rationale for using this image under "fair use". 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. Note that the image description page must include the exact name or a link to each article the image is used in and a separate rationale for each one. (If a link is used, automated processes may improperly add the related tag to the image. Please change the fair use template to refer to the exact name, if you see this warning.)

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 03:14, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Image:Yahoocom.jpg

I have tagged Image:Yahoocom.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 05:18, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
