|'''If you are here to register a complaint''' regarding this bot's edits, before doing so please note:
* There is a very clear policy regarding having fair use rationales on fair use images. This policy is located at [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria]] point #10(c). Rationales must be provided for each use of an image. Also please see [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]].
* We do not permit fair use, copyrighted images to exist on Wikipedia if rationales for that image's use are not provided. Please see [[Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#Images.2Fmedia]] #6. Also please see the [[Wikimedia Foundation]]'s resolution on this matter at [[m:Resolution:Licensing policy]] point #4.
* For quite some time, we have attempted to encourage people to provide rationales. The results of this effort have been dismal at best.
* The creator of this bot has come under fire for performing this work manually. One of the main complaints is that the effort to tag images could just as readily be spent providing rationales. This is not the case; the uploader and/or user of each fair use image is the person who should provide the rationale. A non-involved editor can not know under what principles the user of an image intended such use as fair use.
* The use of fair use, copyrighted images on the Wikimedia servers is covered by United States law. Our policies with respect to this bot's actions are based on that law. Please see [[Fair_use#Purpose_and_character]].
* '''Read''' this talk page before registering your complaint. It is likely someone has already registered a similar complaint, and that complaint will have been given an answer.
* Bug reports are very welcome; tagging images as this bot is doing per policy is not a bug.

Favorite statement about ORFU images:
<blockquote><span style='color: Blue'>
Thank you for the message, Mr. Bot, but you have to understand that this image ''was'' used in an article, but the article got deleted. PK 18:19, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

== Here we go again!!! ==
You're the main reason why I had to clear out my user talk page twice already!!! I suppose, any image I put up on Wikipedia isn't satisfactory! :{ [[User:TMC1982|TMC1982]] 12:00 a.m. 4 July 2007 (UTC)
== MKDSluvr saw the fair use rationale for [[:Image:Mario Party 8.jpg]] ==
Look at the [[Mario Party 8]] talk page.
:that is a unsupported template rationale format. <sup>[[User talk:Betacommand|<span style='color: red'>∆</span>]]</sup> 21:02, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
::Betacommand, the approval of your bot is limited to tagging pages with no fair use rationale at all, not to deciding what format those rationales have to be in to facilitate your bot's operation. These people may be happy to comply because you asked them sort of nicely, but not everyone wants to subst. their templates. I'll support you on this if we can get some accepted guidelines regarding what kind of templates are acceptable to use. [[User:Wikidemo|Wikidemo]] 21:17, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
::*Not necessary. Subst the templates and it will be ok. --[[User:Durin|Durin]] 21:32, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
:::The approval was to tag rationales with no fair use guideline. It was not approved as a bot to force people to subst. their templates. At any rate, the point is moot for this particular image. [[User:Wikidemo|Wikidemo]] 21:34, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
:::*You could always request the bot be blocked. Not likely to succeed, but you can. --[[User:Durin|Durin]] 21:37, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
