| “ | I'd rather have an image from a wikipedian that's not quite as good, than a professional image which we can only use under the very narrow doctrine of fair use. We're not fundamentally about having a really pretty encyclopedia, we're fundamentally about having a free encyclopedia, and in the end that's far more pretty, if you ask me. | ” |

Thanks for uploading Image:Mru Dancing.jpg; it's a great picture. The tag you placed on it is a little odd though. Do you confirm that you took it and that you're releasing it under the GFDL? If so, please replace the {{GFDL-presumed}}tag with {{GFDL-self}}. Just a technicality, but I'd be grateful if you could attend to this. Thanks. Chick Bowen 15:45, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Ma Anandamayi01.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ma Anandamayi01.jpg. The image description 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.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
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 fair use images 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.

- I have taken this picture (Jazmin i.jpg) from an website which has in turn taken it from an unspecified DVD capture. Though this pictures generally are supposed to be "fair use", and there is no indication anywhere that this particular picture is not so, I have tried and included as much information as I can. Since I know little of the use of license tags, and reading the special page have helped little to that regard I expect my fellow wikipeadians to help me to keep the picture posted. (Aditya Kabir 18:54, 22 June 2006 (UTC))
-
- The copyright holder must be identified. Just noting that you found the image on a search engine and that it came from an unspecified DVD is not sufficient. The DVD must be identified. Then, the image can only be used to provide critical commentary on the DVD in question, not solely to depict the actress. This applies also to Image:Jazmin Smile.jpg and to any other image you have uploaded with this source and rationale. --Yamla 15:11, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
Images of Jazmin on your userpage
Hi, fair use images must not be used in user space - their use is limited to article space and that too for relevant articles. Pl. remove them from your userpage asap. TIA, --Gurubrahma 05:48, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Jazmin Smile.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

Unspecified source for Image:CKNGadi.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:CKNGadi.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may 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. Yamla 15:16, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Jayne Mansfield image
- I thought I did notify you about that one! Sorry. The problem is, fair-use images must be used in an article. If they aren't used in any article, they are to be deleted. That one wasn't. Please feel free to reupload it, though, if it is going to be used in an article. --Yamla 20:17, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Image:Shahabag sat01.png
Hello. I came to the Shabaug article via your message on Ragib's page. The image - Image:Shahabag sat01.png - has been marked for speedy deletion by me. Google earth images are under the copyright of google. Google prohibits the commercial use of these images and such images are not allowed on wikipedia. - Aksi_great (talk) 18:14, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is a non-commercial site. But our content is under the GFDL licence. A clause in the GFDL licence reads "You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially". Which means that all information on wikipedia can be used for commercial purposes. Which means that the image you uploaded may be used for commercial purposes by someone else even if it is not used by wikipedia for commercial purposes. Please see this and also this for more about the topic. Please feel free to contact me for any more help. - Aksi_great (talk) 18:33, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- No problem. A photo by you would be better than anything. - Aksi_great (talk) 18:59, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Yo - you need to give your source for this image and its appropriate licensing information or else it will soon be deleted. Rama's arrow 17:26, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry - false alarm. Apparently some vandal had removed the GFDL tag. But please add more information about the source for this file (where you got the info to make it from). Rama's arrow 17:31, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Ganguly family (films): Copyvio Gallery
Every image I checked (and I'll freely admit that I did not check every single one) was licensed as a film screenshot. That means that the image may be used "for identification and critical commentary on the film and its contents", not solely to identify and depict a person. The gallery was not even identifying the films, let alone using the images to provide critical commentary on them. It was solely a gallery of people, thus was violating the image licenses. If you haven't been able to follow what I've just said, please let me know. --Yamla 18:45, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Additionally, I was unable to find even a single image which had a detailed hand-written fair-use rationale for any use on the Wikipedia, let alone specifically for the gallery. Note also under WP:FUC, we are only permitted to use freely-licensed images to depict living people. --Yamla 18:45, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Note that WP:FUC has recently become stricter. As noted above, we are no longer allowed to use copyrighted non-free images (that is, images not in the public domain or licensed under GFDL or CC) to depict living people. --Yamla 18:47, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
- (Responding to your comment, not quoted) Absolutely. It seems to be a bigger problem amongst the articles on Indian actors compared to Hollywood actors and I'm not sure why, though it's a big problem throughout the Wikipedia. Thank you for your calm inquiry on my discussion page. --Yamla 18:56, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Please help
Discussion at User talk:Misza13/Archives/2007/02#Two images unfortunately deleted by you, can you help?.
BJBot has deleted two images I uploaded (Image:Chaltikanaam.gif and Image:Gangulybros01.jpg), along with all the painstaking work that went into rationalizing fair use and citing sources and authors, because they were lying about quite orphaned. Very unfortunate, because I was busy at the time and could not check on WP much, if at all.
They were not orphans to begin with, but rather was a part of the Ganguly family (films) article. A certain user (User:Prince Godfather) removed them from the article and reinstated a completely copyvio image gallery removed much earlier from the page. This amazing deed was reverted by another user, but it was too late for the two images I mentioned.
Please note, that this particular user has been accused of sockpuppetry, has broken all civility guidelines, contributes a great deal without any regard for verifiability or citation policies, practices vandalism, was blocked from WP once or twice, is engaged in quite a few edit wars... and has responded very unfavorably when I questioned his behavior about the images in discussion.
I am checking this user as much as I can, though without the tools available to admins it's quite an arduous task. But, whatever happens to this amazing user, I'd very much like to have those images back on Wikipedia. I have learned the ropes for fair use policies the hard way, and am weary of the task of reinstating the info and rationales that require.
It would be very helpful if you could tell me what do I have to do in getting those two images back along with the rationale and info back to the article I mentioned. Can anyone help, please? Aditya Kabir 15:56, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
- Hello, Aditya Kabir:
- Both images were deleted by User:Misza13, an administrator on English Wikipedia, on 9 February 2007, with the reason being: Unused unfree copyrighted image. (WP:CSD#I5) (see here and here). I would suggest contacting Misza13 and requesting a copy of the images' description pages, rationales, etc. You can also try posting at Wikipedia:Deletion_review, or asking one of the admins listed here (although I'm not sure whether the latter includes requests for deleted images, or articles only). Alternatively, you can re-upload the images, but perhaps posting at Wikipedia_talk:Copyrights/Can_I_use... before uploading, to ensure that you don't run into the same problems again.

Excuse me, but it was your images that were Copyvio, the gallery being their was fine! Duh. Understand the situation before you open it! Prince Godfather 13:35, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Re: Please, help
Wikipedia:Deletion review can help you get the images undeleted, not being an admin myself I can't do it, sorry. BJTalk 23:15, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Re: deleted images
Hi. That wasn't really necessary to write such epic stories about the images, the user who removed them etc. It's absolutely no big deal when an image gets deleted, because it can be restored just as easily. And that's exactly what I have done now, and what you should've just asked for, without going into lengths about User:Prince Godfather's conduct. :) You are welcome to re-add them back to the article (and do it ASAP, before they get tagged again).
