RE: Image:JamesSolomon.jpg

Please pardon my ignorance, but this was the first image I had ever uploaded to Wikipedia and, I must admit, I find the fair-use stipulations to be a bit confusing. You, however, seem to be an expert on the subject (and the person who deleted the image!). Could I be so bold as to ask how I would go about making or otherwise acquiring a free-use or proper fair-use image? I was under the impression that, since the photo in question came from a press release, that it was usable under fair-use guidelines, but I was obviously mistaken.

Thank you in advance for any information you can give me on this issue! Sidatio 17:02, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It a common mistake. Even if an image is from a press release it has to pass all of the Non-free content criteriasThe problem is here criteria one because the image is of a living person and free equivalent could be created. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Rette tast 18:17, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I do have a question, if I may: How would I go about creating a free image? Thank you for the help! :-) Sidatio 18:24, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Take an image of the person and release it under a free license (such as GFDL), or get someone else to do the same. You could also ask someone who has already taken an image to release it under a free license (See [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission]). Rette tast 18:31, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see - simple enough, right? ;-) I've already written one of his business parters to see if we can get that rectified. I'm not flying out to California to take a picture of the guy. Thanks for all of your help! Sidatio 18:34, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Great, but be sure to get it released under a free license and not just a "of course you can use it on wikipedia" license. It is important that wikipedia can be reused by others. Rette tast 18:39, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your thoughts. Rette tast 20:22, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am of the opinion that more formal action is needed at this point. This user has engaged in personal attacks before, and does not view blocks as any reason to stop his behavior. A three week block will have no effect. Further, for him to engage in vandalism when he knows better [1] is flatly unacceptable. --Durin 20:41, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to agree, but I didn't notice the full history before i blocked. The user is contributing and I find it hard to block indefinitely, but it is probably something we have to do. What do you think. I wouldn't mind you changing the duration. Rette tast 20:51, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not suggesting an indef. Rather, perhaps an RfC or Community Sanction. RFAR is premature. --Durin 21:39, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want to use time on this. I was not offended, but felt that the user in light of previous blocks needed a break from wikipedia. Rette tast 10:14, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I dunno what you trying but this work is usualy done by bots, that's why we have bots. And I mean tagging images as orphaned. comment added by DarthRahn(^u/_t\^c) 04:03, 10

Image:GunnerMcGrath.jpg

Hello, you recently deleted an image named GunnerMcGrath.jpg at the "Gunner McGrath" wikipedia page because I apparently did not choose quite the right licensing.. which, I might add, seems practically impossible! =) I've uploaded a few images and can never seem to figure out which one is the right one.

To clear it up, I am actually Gunner McGrath and the picture is of me, taken by a friend of mine, and in fact has been used nowhere except wikipedia and myspace. =) I'm going to upload another photo there, I'd appreciate if you'd help me pick the proper licensing in this situation. Thank you!

The image had a fair use tag and failed the first criterion of WP:NFCC. Get your friend to release the image under a free license, See examples here, and upload the image again. Ask, if you have any questions. Rette tast 10:15, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Three current images of the Frankie Stone article

Hello, Rettetast, I noticed, of course, that you tagged the Frankie Stone article as possibly containing excessive or improper use of copyrighted images and/or audio files.

If it would be better, which it seems, I'll remove the three images there that are from Elizabeth-Hendrickson.net and instead use images from Willowfriend.com for that article, which I've used for most fictional soap opera character articles that I've contributed to here at Wikipedia, as Willowfriend.com clearly has no problem with its visitors using its images.

The number of images for the Frankie Stone article is only four fair-use images, and from having seen some good and or featured articles here at Wikipedia of that number or a little higher of fair-use images, I don't feel that there are excessively-used images within the Frankie Stone article, even though, yes, there isn't much plot to the Frankie Stone article as it is now, or too much more context to span out the length more so in between the images. The use of images from Elizabeth-Hendrickson.net, however, could/can be seen as excessive, as in excessive use of copy-righted material, which is what I assume you meant. I hadn't checked the image-policy of Elizabeth-Hendrickson.net until now, mainly because one image from that website was used in another fictional character article here at Wikipedia and I assumed that it was fine to use images from that site, which caused me (lazily and wrongly) not to check its image-policy, which is right at the bottom of their site, though they address this matter as specifically the use of their content. Anyway, get back to me when you can on this. Flyer22 19:40, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is no magical number for how many fair use images that you can use in an article. You should evaluate every image according to WP:NFCC and especially criteria 8. Are all the images really needed to significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic. I agree that an image in the infobox to show the character looks like is appropriate. In my opinion the other images does not show anything more that you couldn't have in the text. Feel free to disagree with me though. You could get others opinion at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. Rette tast 10:14, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- From having watched some deletion debates and Good or Featured article nomination processes here at Wikipedia, it seemed that there was/is a limit (though not specified) to how many fair-use images can be within an article on Wikipedia. I would and will still see an editor say, "This article has too many fair-use images for Wikipedia's fair-use policy"...but, as to the topic of the Frankie Stone article, yes, I feel that all four images within that article significantly increase readers' understanding of that topic, such as Frankie being hit by Erica's car. The main image (the one within the Frankie character infobox, of course), Frankie being hit by Erica's car...and Frankie dead on the floor in her room are all images that improve that article's readability. Notice that I left out the one that shows Bianca and Frankie talking in Frankie's room, as that is the only one of the images within the Frankie Stone article that I see as not being too important as of adding to the article's readability. When it comes to the images of that article at this moment, I'm more concerned with removing the three images that are from Elizabeth-Hendrickson.net, since I didn't get permission as to their use, than I am about having any images within this article at the moment. I will soon either take out the images from that article that are from Elizabeth-Hendrickson.net or get permission from the owner or owners of that website to use them. But, yes, as stated before, to answer your question, I feel that three of the images within that article are definitely appropriately used. Thank you for all of your insight on this matter, Rettetast. Flyer22 02:35, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it matters which website you take the images from. The copyright holder is the production company when the images are from television series.You know this article best and if you mean that the images are needed I would settle with only taking away the one image image you don't see as vital too the article. Best regards. Rette tast 16:40, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Rettetast, and, yeah, I know what you mean about the copyright holder. It's just that I would feel better about asking the owner or owners of Elizabeth-Hendrickson.net to use the images from there before using them, since the owner or owners of that website require that and took the time to cap all of those images placed on that website. And, again, thank you for agreeing that removing one of the images from the Frankie Stone article as it is now would be best. I'll get right to that -- the one that really doesn't add to the article as much as the other three do. It was great discussing with you. Flyer22 19:53, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect User

I believe you have me mistaken for someone else. You left a message on my Talk page showing that I had uploaded an image that did not meet fair use criteria. However, using this link you provided to show my image contributions shows no such image being uploaded by me. I generally take pains to ensure that when I do upload images (the three that are listed), I specify the correct licensing terms. Mhoskins 21:44, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You uploaded the image in 2005, but it is not shown in Special:Contributions after it has bin deleted. You can see your upload log for deleted images here. Probably no big deal though. The image was a clear violation of WP:NFCC. Rette tast 07:37, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion rationale

Regarding this message, what specifically was wrong with the rationale provided? You speedy'd the image as: an image with fair use tag but no fair use rationale. While {{publicity}} was replaced with {{Non-free promotional}}, I'm at a loss to see how you classified this as an I6. How is "official portrait of a head of state" not a rationale? Guettarda 23:20, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i did not detlete the image. I just tagged it because it had no rationale. Check the deletion log to find out who deleted it. Check the links in the message left on your talk page. The image had no rationale as explained on WP:FUR. Rette tast 05:52, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, sorry, misread the deletion log. Ok, to repeat the question - why did you TAG it? Do you really simply tag images because someone (or rather, a bot) blanked the page? I can't imagine that you have never heard of the page history function in Wikipedia...

Instead of being obtuse and combative, can you explain your rationale for tagging the image? Guettarda 17:50, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

{{publicity}}, which redirects to {{Non-free promotional}}, is not a rationale. It is just a copyright tag. Would you like me to undelete the image so that you can write a rationale for its use? Rette tast 18:05, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see now that you can undelete the image yourself since you are an admin. Just undelete the image and provide a fair use rationale on the image description page as explained on WP:FURG. Sorry for the short answer yesterday. I also gave you a wrong link. (WP:FUR instead of WP:FURG) Rette tast 18:17, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry - I am just trying to figure out exactly what the rationale was...this isn't a time-sensitive issue, so I just want to make sure I'm not missing something. Guettarda 12:27, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of images on List of characters in The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy

You've removed pretty much every image on List of characters in The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. Your edit summary calls WP:NFCC, and while I've read that article, I'd like to ask that you interpret the reasoning for this (in plain english - while some of the images did not have a fair-use rational, others did). And no, I'm not being rude or snide, I'm curious as to the "why"? Yngvarr 15:06, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Criteria 8. We don't allow decorative uses of fair use images such as the images on this list was used. The images had no encyclopedic value. I do agree that the list looked better with the images, but they were only there for a decorative purpose and therefore fails WP:NFCC. Rette tast 15:41, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Images on List of Hayate the Combat Butler characters

Hi, I'm wondering why you tagged List of Hayate the Combat Butler characters with a nonfree tag and even tried to delete all the images which was kindly undone by an anonymous person. The tag says "See the talk page for details" but you didn't leave any details. I asked in the talk page, but no one replied in weeks. I'm new to wikipedia writing/editing, I'll appreciate an explanation so I can fix the problem and remove the tag. Thanks. Toothpyx 04:24, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are all of those non-free images really needed? Rette tast 14:50, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I read your post of Billy and Mandy above after I posted. Can the pictures be replaced by text? Maybe, but you can say that to every picture on wikipedia. Would the pictures help increase the reader's understanding? I've been to many list of characters pages and pictures do help my ability to locate and identify the characters. If it's illegal to put pictures on list of character pages for identification purposes, why isn't there a crackdown on these pages. From my wikipedia experience, I'll estimate around 70% of character pages have many pictures. I spent a lot of time mimicking these pages and for someone to come after a month and delete everything without an explanation is frustrating.

It's good that you're patrolling for images in need of FU rationales, but this one had a rationale the whole time and you almost got it deleted by tagging it.

Bournemouth external links cleanup

Per your template message, I have cleaned up the Bournemouth external links section by removing unnecessary or duplicate links and incorporating some (for example, the census statistics link) as inline citations where the data is relevant to particular text.

As this seems to address the issue I have removed the template. Your view on whether the links cleanup is adequate or needs further work would be welcome.

Request information on your deletion of the "Red Nightmare" image

Hello Rettetast,

I'm rather new to editing and would like your guidance of your reasons for the deletion of the image I provided for 'Red Nightmare' and your suggestions to have the image restore.

I obtained the image from www.peterbrown.tv with their permission to use the image in Wikipedia. As the show as made in 1957 orginally for the US Government I believe and they believe it is in the public domain.

Could you help please?

Thank you Foofbun 00:14, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. Do you have the exact image name that the image had. I could not find any images in your upload log that was deleted, or any edits you have made that has bin deleted.

I think this is the image Image:Toyah brave.jpg Rodhullandemu is referring to. I got a message earlier saying it's replacable and will be deleted. Seeing as this image is not being used to illustrate the subject inside the infobox, I dont think that it is violating fair use policy. It's being used to identify a particular section of the article, i.e. a music video in the singers phase. If I tweak the FUR can I remove the tag?Gung adin ♦ 14:36, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Sam Kekovich ad.JPG

Dear User:Rettetast, I will try to be sensible and nice about this, but... I am feeling quite upset that you have -- or, a 'bot' you control, which leaves your username as the responsible person, has -- slapped on the image Sam_Kekovich_ad.JPG a "di-no fair use rationale" saying that it "has no explanation as to why it is permitted under the policy" (emphasis from the tag!) with the comment "Image is missing fair use rationale and will be deleted in seven days if it is not added." I presume that you stand by those comments, even though the original upload included my hand-written words, "I believe this screenshot from http://www.mla.org.au is fair use for the purpose of social comment." Which part of my comment is insufficient for your purposes and that of Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags/Non-free? Perhaps you did not also see that I had a licensing tag "Non-free promotional" after the explanation? Or, should I be saying more than I did? In short, what have I done wrong, and how can I satisfy your requirement to fix it? With thanks, - Peter Ellis - Talk 05:22, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Burt Ruttan

I was just trying to learn more about Ruttan's aircraft that is capable of entering what we call outer space, and I am finding that the Wikipedia page (a site dedicated to education) has been deleted and vandalized, and you are listed at one of the persons to be blamed. Wikipedia is meant to be an open exchange of information, I love it, I am mostly just a reader. When I find information that I want is being filtered or just plain eliminated, but crazy weirdos like you, it really pisses me off.

I'll make my own determinations as to what I think is fact, and what is not. Eliminating a site on a particular issue is censorship. Are you some sort of Nazi? Do you want to prevent me from finding information? Do you think that you are my parent?

Re: Image for deletion

Regarding the image Image:WilTirion.jpg that you are so anxious to delete: I received permission via e-mail from Wil Tirion himself to download that picture from his website and post it in Wikipedia. Instead of just blindly deleting it, why don't you try to improve Wikipedia by dropping a line to Wil Tirion and asking his permission to use the picture? I'm sure he would grant permission again. ●DanMS • Talk 16:57, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Majin Buu pictures

Hello. I have reverted your edit to Majin Buu that removed several images from the article. Now I know the fair use policy for non free content. I also know that such deletions are necesary when are images that can be replaced with fair use ones. There are no fair use images that can be used for this particular subject. You may also have a problem with the amount if images. Well actually the fact that not one picture exists that contains all of majin Buu's forms in one set exists and that fact that all of these forms are relevant to the character, I would say that they would deserve images right? DBZROCKSIts over 9000!!! 19:21, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding. These image does not fullfill this criteria. Rette tast 19:24, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the lack of a edit summary. I removed the images because they failed our criteria for inclusion of copyrighted material. See WP:NFCC, and specially #8 #2 and #3. Rette tast 15:12, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So on these grounds, would you say that not one image at all would be suitable within this article or type of article (list of characters, locations, etc. for a fictional series) unless the lack thereof would be detrimental to readers' understanding?

Yes. Rette tast 17:02, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Woodstea.jpg and fair use

Thanks for the heads-up about the image. I went ahead and added a half-dozen fair use reasons. If you have a minute, could you take a look at the image and see if the fair use criteria is sufficient? Is the image still going to be deleted, or do I have to do anything else? --The chuck 16:50, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It looks fine. Do you have a link to the image source? Rette tast 16:56, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's here. The link is located further down on the image page; should it be included in the fair use section? The chuck 17:00, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use review of Image:Xi Jinping.gif

You proposed a fair use review of Image:Xi Jinping.gif. Could you please ensure that my comment at Image talk:Xi Jinping.gif is included in the discussion, for the reason given? Seektruthfromfacts 19:14, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a link to the talk page. Rette tast 20:37, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the aarhus tip

However, I dont understand why wikipedia, the most used online encyclopedia, has such a bureaucractic license system. Even though I have permission by the copyright owners to upload the image here, its just not good enough. But thanks anyway. SenseOnes 20:58, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The reason is that we want to be the Free Encyclopedia. That means that we want others to be able to use all the content. Because of that all the content ha to be under a free license. Happy editing. Rette tast 21:01, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps characters

I've tagged the images with this:

Russian UN poster image

Check again. I only touched up the image (it was damaged). I think it's pre-1923. But somebody else found it before me. So do your research further please. --Ludvikus 11:45, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I it tagged because it was incorrectly tagged as non free. I have fixed the licensing now. It is not pre-1923 (UN founded after WWII) but it is PD because it was made by the us government. You could upload that image to commons. Rette tast 11:56, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
