Wikipedia:Fair use criteria/Amendment
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ta bu shi da yu hereby proposes an amendment to the fair use criteria policy.
The amendment is the addition of two new sections:
[edit] Non-compliance
Images which do not comply with this policy within 48 hours of the editor who uploaded the image being notified will be deleted. This is because fair use can be, and has been, applied incorrectly to images. The editor who uploaded the image should explain and provide evidence of how fair use applies to the image (though anyone can provide an explanation) and make every attempt to comply with Wikipedia's fair use policies. In addition, the Special:Upload page is very specific about our image upload conditions.
[edit] Exceptions
Images which have been uploaded before this policy amendment came into effect must not be immediately deleted. The editor should be alerted as to the problem with the image and will be given 7 days to comply with this policy. After this date the image will then be deleted without further warning if corrective action is not taken.
