Image rationale marking

Your sock added {{deletable image-caption}} to box art in the article Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. (diff) Please note that the image in {{Infobox VG}} is not presented as a thumbnail, so the caption you provided will not be displayed. Instead, you should add the template to the caption parameter of the infobox. Thanks, 17:36, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

a suggestion

If you are going to tag images, please tag them properly. When you did this tagging you were disputing the rationale. How can you dispute a rationale that isn't there?--Rockfang (talk) 12:32, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

C&C carrier image

I added fair use rationals for all pages that Image:C&C Generals Aircraft Carrier.JPG appears on. Could you double check to make sure that everythings correctly filed? I do not wish to remove the csd tag until I get a second opinion on this. TomStar81 (Talk) 07:38, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, I was about to add non free reduce to the image page, but I see you beat me to it. Thanks. TomStar81 (Talk) 07:17, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use images

Keep up the great work by finding free use images without proper tagging. Thank you! 14:54, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Why has this image (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Scda_boxart.jpg) been nominated for speedy deletion? Fair use rationale has been explained on the image's page. What else is required or missing, or what can be done to save this image? will381796 (talk) 20:27, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

There are none. See Image:Atlantisgateroom.jpg as an example. Project FMF (talk) 23:38, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Video game covers.

This is a sincere question; I'm not trolling with this. Anyway, why are you tagging various video game cover images for deletion? Or, more specifically, why are you doing this rather than simply adding a rationale, which in the case of cover art tends to be pretty easy and boilerplate? As I'm sure you know, almost all (that is, not non-notable alternate versions) of them probably meet the fair use criteria. And those images without rationales should have them added to comply with policy, for sure. But it strikes me as the same amount of effort to add the "delete" and the "deletable image caption" rather than just add the rationale. Unless you have some script for quickly marking something as deletable?

Feel free to respond here. SnowFire (talk) 23:29, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

The updated P. FMF userpage and this may answer any questions. 00:50, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, yes, I know that. The general point I was trying to make was that it seemed a comparable amount of effort to tag these images as it is to write rationales (both of which reduce the backlog by one image), so regardless of whose responsibility it is, why not just write the rationale? Don't get me wrong; if you're willing to contribute time to image cleanup, that's great and needs to be done, but it would seem a lot more efficient Wikipedia-wise if rather than tag 50 images for deletion, you spent the same amount of time time writing 40 rationales. Now, if my math is off (what I was referring to before - perhaps some script that would enable you to quickly tag so that the ratio would be more like 50-5?), then fine, but just sayin'. SnowFire (talk) 02:51, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Why are you going around and reducing images even more? I've noticed you going around and uploading even smaller versions of pictures that are already more than small enough to pass the Fair-use guidelines and see no reason to upload even smaller versions. 04:31, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

The second half of this has a related discussion. 04:59, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Learn it, love it, use it. If you're going to focus exclusively on videogame covers, there's no reason you can't fix the rationales yourself (notwithstanding any lame disclaimer). Thanks, ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 16:00, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Careful when removing images

Hi, FMF. Thank you for helping to remove decorative non-free images from articles. However, I would encourage you to exercise caution when doing so; your edit to Mexican elections, 2007 destroyed the information in the table. Of course, that information shouldn't have been presented in the form it was, but simply deleting all of the images was not the best thing to do in that case. —Bkell (talk) 23:50, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Image:Arms-kirklees.jpg

Hi, why have you commented this out please? What needs fixing? BlueValour (talk) 02:41, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

For every article a image is used, another rationale for why its being used must be provided. 02:44, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Ah, of course, I'll fix it. BlueValour (talk) 02:48, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Image:Gay purr-ee dvd cover.jpg

Non free use rationale added, BUT: point of order: is it really necessary for the images to be tagged by the ones who uploaded them? In the case of a book, movie or DVD cover the fair-use rationale could easily be added by the admin who spots it in the first place. The uploader need only be contacted in the case of ambiguity as to the image's source, portion used, etc. And yeah, I guess that does sound like I'm trying to throw work back at the admins rather than do it myself! Lee M (talk) 02:19, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Source

Are they necessary for fair use articles? I mean, it doesn't matter in the least where I got my scan of a CD cover... unless of course there is a WP:V issue. gren グレン 02:25, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

For images, yes. If its a scan, then state that. 15:43, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Invader ZIm

Please, by all means, contribute to the rationalizing of these images, but just deleting images you find lacking in rational is a wee bit authoritarian. IDK what you are trying to accomplish through this, given that deleting images benifits no one, but please, at least post it in the talk page for the pages that link to it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.136.11.40 (talk) 21:26, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Image:Pora.gif

I made a Fair-use rationale for thumb since the original uploader left wikipedia years ago. So if you wanna discuss the image then please contact me! I will adopt the image :) Mariah-Yulia (talk) 23:00, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Geometry Wars

I uploaded a new version of the image http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:GeometryWarsGalaxies.png the new version is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:GeometryWarsGalaxies.jpg. The file size has been reduce to 32kb. I'm still a bit new on wikipedia, so I'm not shure about deleting the PNG version of the Image. I'm a supposed to add it to speedy deletions now? Please answer on my Talk Page. Pseudoserpent (talk) 07:15, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Please stop leaving me messages.

I make it more than clear at the top of my talk page that I'm no longer concerned with the 'questionability' of the pictures I uploaded. — [ ric | opiaterein ] — 15:07, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Film posters

That a good enough explanation now? lol 00:16, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Done. I don't know why you can't add the rationale yourself if you are concerned 13:26, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

The End video cover

Hi, I've added text to Image:The end video by birdhouse.jpg. Is that acceptable?
--ric_man (talk) 05:12, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Image:Ddrhpwii.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Ddrhpwii.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Ontario Motor Speedway logo

I did add a fair use on the Ontario Motor Speedway logo since it was the old raceway's logo from 1970-1980 TVSRR (talk) 16:09, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Images

Okay I get all my images from Gamefaq which is a trusted source and they only give images that big for cover art. If my images are against policy, where do I find another place to get good covers? 2 22:04, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Anywhere, resize if necessary - "...more than 300 pixels in width or height, which ensures that the image's resolution is less than 0.1 megapixels". {{Non-free image data}} Also see Wikipedia talk:Non-free content#NFCC #3b - how low is 'low-res'? Project FMF (talk) 17:32, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. 2 17:35, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Television Station Logos

While it is easy to tag a logo for deletion because it doesn't have a proper fair-use rationale, it is also just as easy to add a fair use rationale to a page.

Using {{logo fur|Article= |Purpose=infobox}} takes about the same amount of time as tagging an image for deletion. Please make sure to add the name of the article in the article field. Take Care... • • October 23, 2008 @ 04:19
