:*Agreed with Duk above. You seem to want to follow some made-up personal philosophy instead of the actual policy for Featured Pictures. I am following the policy, which states that '''fair use is tolerated''', implying that images which ''actually have permission'' should be tolerated more. --{{User:Brian0918/sig}} 14:03, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
::Brion, I thought that fair use images were ''not'' allowed for featured picture use, because the way feature pictures are used isn't a valid ''fair use'' rationale (see the top of the project page). [[User:Duk|Duk]] 16:00, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
:Well I think that is slightly the wrong emphasis. Its not really about building a gallery. I've always thought the point of Featured Pictures is to encourage people to find more good pictures for Wikipedia by highlighting particularly good contributions. As such any image with a license that is suitable for Wikipedia should be eligible for FP. The exception is FairUse images which are ruled of of FP, because they are only really FairUse in the context of their article.
