Removing fair use images from lists
Hi ESkog. Thanks for taking the initiative to remove decorative non-free images from the various lists we have. ~MDD4696 02:54, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

What is wrong with this fair use rationale? It was posted in September, no one disputed it. Seems the same of all movie posters placed in the movie articles. Machocarioca
- There's nothing wrong with it - this user is simply inflating their edit count by taking a very, very literal, very, very unhelpful and potnetially very, very damaging approach to the wording of one policy. Each template clearly states why the uimage is thought to be fair use. If Eskog was not just edit count packing he or she shoud just add the very obvious raitonale themselves for each image (as stated in the template) rather than tagging for deletion? It's editors like that stop people contributing to Wikipedia. StuartDouglas 15:59, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
StuartDouglas got it. Our rules for use of non-free content are clear, really ,and the use of movie posters are under the rules. And the rules doesn't support POVs like yours, forgive me. Are you going to delect ALL movie posters in Wikipedia? All of it have the same rationale. Most of them, placed before 2006, have none. Movie posters are a tradition in our articles. The fair use rationale on the image is perfect. This is silliness, ESkog, stop it. Be real, please.Machocarioca 18:11, 9 May 2007 (UTC)Machocarioca
Movie posters are critical information by itselves. If the policy is 'unclear' for you, you don't have the right to "clear" it by your own will . Movie poster are here for a long time, placed by hundreds of administrators too. This is your personal approach, pall, be real. You'll have to delete ALL movie posters here, maybe 100.000 movie posters with the same rationale. Or none. The use of movie posters, just because they happen to be movie posters, is not allowed under this policy. Sorry, but you´re wrong, it is allowed since 2001 in all movie articles. A tradition. This is a very personal and not serious approach to to the wording of one policy. Stop it, please. Machocarioca

Stupid Question To Which I'm Having Trouble Finding An Answer...
Good morning!
I have a question regarding your message re: fair use rationale. All the information that I can find is somewhat vague, and the examples that I've found for comic book images (which are and will probably continue to be my main contribution) vary wildly in content and style.
Do you have an example of an acceptable fair use rationale that is a little more informational than just the template? Any assistance will be wholly appreciated...
Fair Use Tagging as Edit Count Packing?
I am perfectly cool, thank you and have made no personal attack on you. I ask again though - if you are so concerned about fair use rationales and are not simply taking a ludicrously anal and overly literal reading of the fair use page why not simply quickly cut and paste the rationale - as stated clearly on each template - rather than just tagging useful images for deletion?
The only other thing I said was that it is editors like you who make people less likely to contribute to Wikipedia - which given the amount of people on your talk pages complaining about your petty activities, seems a reasonable and fairt point. Certainly it make sme less likely to contribute in future. StuartDouglas 16:05, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Your actions damaged Wikipedia by removing images which are covered by fair use for no good reason (apart from anythign else if I add a nonsense phrase like 'used as part of critical commentary to every image that would, I suspect, satisfy your criteria, yet mean nothing). As this appears from your history to be almost your only contribution to Wikipedia of any size, well good luck to you - I'm sure it gives you a wonderful feeling of importance and empowerment but it contributes nothign whatsoever to Wikipedia.

Appeal for help from interested parties
On my watchlist I have over 1100 pages to which I have contributed--from a single comma to full articles. During the past two years I have uploaded hundreds of popular culture images, making daily uploads at times. Some of these pictures are the result of hours of searching in order to find the perfect and relevant image.
Over 700 of these images have been designated as needing fair use rationale and will vanish from Wikipedia in a few days simply because there's no way I can add rationales to that many pages in a week's time. What is needed is a team of people dedicated to saving this material from banishment by adding fair use rationales. Please help if you can. Thanks. Here is a link that shows what is about to vanish from Wikipedia. Pepso 05:12, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Grinderman Set Me Free.jpg
Hi ESkog,
Sorry, I have no idea why this message was sent to me. I have had nothing to do with that image. Please explain?
Thanks!

- No problem! I have tagged a bunch of images requesting FU Rationale myself. Prolly see you again... --Lmcelhiney 18:08, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Blur(NewUniverseComics).jpg Fair Use Question...
I've added the information as requested. Let me know if that's not up to snuff. Thanks for your help!
Orphaned fair use image (Image:Signal dvdcover.jpg)
){kind=link}
The image you were talking about was a part of an article that was deleted so, that's why it was orphaned. I hope to improve the article and post it again. The image is however my own original art work, I accidentally wrote the description for it incorrectly. I would have done it again but, anytime I make a mistake and try to fix it, someone comes along and says I'm trying to cover up something so, I just left it alone. JoeyC5 15:37, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

How do I get my "Daniel Ross (American Actor)" article un-deleted?
Hello,
You deleted my article because the person who it was about did not have any notable roles. (I think that was the reason, at least.) Here's the discussion about it, in case you do not remember:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Daniel_Ross_%28American_actor%29
It was just announced on several websites that he will voice one of the main characters in the new Transformers video games. For example:
http://tformers.com/Transfan-Daniel-Ross-To-Voice-Starscream-In-Game/7604/news.html http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=133046 http://www.seibertron.com/news/view.php?id=10269
I believe this cures the problem, does it not? What's the best way going about getting this article un-deleted? I don't have much experience with this sort of thing, so any help you can offer would be appreciated.
Thanks! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MightGaine (talk • contribs) 12:52, 12 May 2007 (UTC). MightGaine 12:57, 12 May 2007 (UTC)MightGaine
Fair use justification for Image:Scary go round - shelley winters.png
Earlier this week you marked an image I uploaded, Image:Scary go round - shelley winters.png, as lacking fair use justification. I think I might have now satisfied that, but, honestly I don't know. What I've written there seems comparable to the "good" examples on your ESkog/Rationales sub-page. Could you let me know if I have made an obvious error? If you think the justification is sufficient, I will reproduce it for the other character images I added to that article. --Steve-o Stonebraker 22:17, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Help or Advice Requested
I am a little confused. Someone left a message on my User Talk page using the Username 'Grand Mofo Wizard'. They seem to have a userpage by the post, but when I look at the history they show up as an IP address. Is this a glitch? I have left a warning to them on what looks like the User Talk page to please cease the personal attacks on me. I am getting rather tired be being referred to as a political hack by both Mofo and Dirtybirdy. I have been nothing but polite in asking them to stop and referring them to the proper information regarding personal attacks. Once again any help or advice would be appreciated. And the truth shall set you free! 00:03, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Can the signature in question on my talk page eb edited to go to the proper talk/user page. I did not want to be the one to change it lest I end up taking more abuse for doing so. Plus I was not sure if it was alright for me to do so.
Fair Use of Caught By the Fuzz artwork

Fair use rationale
You've removed the fair use rationale example I gave at Template:Infobox Album/doc. [4] Could you provide a better one? It was similar to what I recently added to all covers I uploaded so I hope that I won't have to update few hundreds image description pages again. Jogers (talk) 15:50, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- The fair use rationale is basically the same for most album covers in the articles about albums they illustrate so I thought that it may be a good idea to give editors a clue how the rationale should look like. How do you expect rationales on ten thousands pages to be unique? Anyway, I'll add the link to Image:As Nasty As They Wanna Be cover.jpg at Template:Infobox Album/doc.

Removing TV logos
Could you please not delete TV logos (such as Image:ION logo.jpg) and remove them from articles without giving the good people at WikiProject Television Stations a reasonable chance to fix whatever might be wrong with the fair use rationale? There is a long-standing consensus that using a network logo in a station article, when there is no other station logo available, is proper fair use. DHowell 00:47, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
May 15 Edits
I understand the 3-revert policy, and have currently put in for an article protection. However, it would be more wise to protect the article without the "orphan" tag as it will be deleted. D-Hell-pers 02:58, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
- As for admin approval, user Kuru had previously overseen this debate back in feb/mar. The article went quiet for a while, with periodic disturbances here and there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by D-Hell-pers (talk • contribs) 03:01, 15 May 2007 (UTC).
