[edit] Tagging fair use image files

Labeling images as fair use can be done with the fair use copyright tags. If you have found a file that appears to be fair use, you can add a tag corresponding to the type of material to the image description page: All material under fair use is copyrighted to begin with (if the material is known not to be copyrighted, use the appropriate public domain tag instead). Each material under fair use claim must include a reason for fair use. Please review Help:Image page#Fair use rationale and Wikipedia:Fair use.

Fair use media can only be used on Wikipedia if it is not possible to replace such copyrighted work with a free work of acceptable quality.

[edit] UK government

• {{CrownCopyright}} — For material under UK Crown copyright (Crown copyright in other countries has different restrictions). This only applies to some content on some web sites. It's not a carte blanche to use anything. See the talk page for a list of web sites that will allow some use — and check the copyright notice first as they are all different. It is the express opinion of HM Stationery Office that Crown Copyright is incompatible with the GFDL — contact the Epopt for details. For works where UK Crown copyright has expired, use {{PD-BritishGov}} instead.

The options below are all either for Crown copyright or British Government bodies that claim copyrights in their own right with terms sufficiently different from the norm that they need their own message.

• {{LearningandSkillsCouncilCopyright}} — Learning and Skills Council material
• {{NHSCopyright}} — National Health Service material

The following UK government agencies have unfree images, Qualifications and Curriculum Authority, Land Registry, Teacher Training Agency and the Ordnance Survey. To use material from any of these sources follow the instructions for fair use.

[edit] Deprecated

• {{Restricted use}} (and redirects {{Fairuse}}, {{Fair use}} and others)—formerly used for copyrighted images and audio samples which are contended to be fair use. Replace this tag either with {{Fair use in|Article}} or with another of the tags above.
• {{PermissionAndFairUse}}—formerly used for media for which we have permission, and US fair use also applies. You should also describe as much as possible about the permission including who from and conditions. Replace this tag with either {{Fair use in|Article}} or with another of the tags above, and also add {{Withpermission}}.
• {{Fairuseunsure}} (and redirect {{Fairold}})—formerly used with images which might possibly be in the public domain, either due to age or for some other reason, but the copyright status cannot be conclusively determined. The copyright status of the image should be thoroughly investigated, and either tagged as public domain if it is in the public domain, or as {{Fair use in|Article}} or with another tag above.

Please also add the source from which the image has been reproduced. Remember there is no "general rule" about fair use, each fair use must be explained and a rationale must be established for that specific use (in other words every page that uses the image will have a distinct rationale for using the image on that page even though fair use is claimed on the image page).

[edit] Tagging for review

The following is currently a proposed addition to the review process examining the fair use of images. It is not official policy or guideline, but is a suggestion being discussed.

There are several tags that you can use in addition to the fair use tag to help for review purposes.

If you would like an image to be reviewed by another user as to whether or not it is fair use, you can add the tag {{fairusereview}} to it, which will flag it for an informal review by other editors.

If you believe an image that is tagged as fair use is definitely not fair use, you can add {{fair use disputed}} to it, and it will be eventually nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images or Wikipedia:Copyright problems.

Images which have been deleted as not meeting the Wikipedia criteria for fair use, ie. the 'repeatability' criterion, should be listed at Wikipedia:Deleted fair use image replacement.

If you have reviewed a fair use image (whether it is tagged as {{fairusereview}} or not) and are quite confident that the image does qualify as Fair Use on the listed pages, add {{reviewedfairuse|pages=[[names of pages]]|user=~~~|date=~~~~~}} to the page. Do not review an image for fair use in an article if you either uploaded the image or made the decision to include it in the article where it is being used.

The reviewer may choose to accept a reasonably presented rationale in good faith without necessarily agreeing with each point asserted, as long as it does not contain information that the reviewer believes to be incorrect or misleading. If incorrect or misleading information is removed, and the reviewer believes that the remaining information is sufficient to provide a reasonable fair use rationale, then the rationale should be accepted. If the reviewer considers that the rationale is incomplete or does not provide sufficient detail to make a determination, then the reviewer should consider that the criterion has not been met.

Reviewers are urged to consider that some discretion and personal judgement is required in assessing whether certain of these requirements are met, and in these cases may choose to assume good faith, unless there is reason to doubt. Other users may be invited to review or comment if a clear determination can not be made.

If the image is used in more than one article, it is preferable that individual articles are assessed individually with a separate template box used for each article reviewed, as future edits to a particular article may render fair use claims as void.

As the aim of this process is to improve Wikipedia, reviewers should, where possible, attempt to elevate the standard of the Fair Use of the image, by making any edits they consider appropriate, where possible. For example rewording an inadequately written Fair Use rationale, or deleting unnecessary information, is a far more constructive action than simply deeming that a criterion has not been met.

If you see an image tagged as fair use that would appear to be quite easy to replace with a free alternative, add {{fairusereplace}} to the image description page. The image will be added to Category:Fair use image replacement request so that others are aware of the problem and can create a replacement if possible. Large images that should be scaled down to qualify as fair use may be tagged with {{fairusereduce}}.
