Merge

Per Wikipedia:TFD#Template:Video_disc_cover several cover licenses have been merged. Is there a standard bot that can go through and standarize the links and cats? MBisanz talk 04:21, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

The photos that I've uploaded are definitly safe, they don't represent any argument or acused manner. They're from a respected site that doesn't pocess any harm, for any misunderstanding please talk to me and thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MoeFe (talkcontribs) 22:30, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Template:Non-free use rationale

My apologies if this has been brought up previously, but... it seems like it would significantly aid bots and the project if all fair use rationales were required to use a template. The template parameters are easily parse-able by bots and it would standardize image description pages. Thoughts? --MZMcBride (talk) 04:27, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

However, NFCC does not require a template, and I'd say a good 50% of our images meet NFCC but do not have a template. I'd support using the templates as a long term maintainence plan, but not as a requirement whose failure will result in an image deletion. MBisanz talk 04:50, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Well, adding a requirement for new uploads to the guidelines would be a good first step. Nobody really mentioned deletion... --MZMcBride (talk) 05:01, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Please see my several month old User:MBisanz/ImageSystemProposal and the related bugzilla:12452. According to some some of the senior devs I spoke with, implementing such a system would require a complete recoding of the Upload interface, and none of the current devs understand the existing interface well enough to create a new one. One of those annoying catch-22s. MBisanz talk 05:05, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
What are some examples of the ways end users are benefiting from the machine readability of the fair use rationales that currently use templates? Christopher Parham (talk) 18:23, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Use in more than one article

If a logo if is used in more than one article (ie Image:EDGE of Existence logo.png) how can i specifiy this in the template? 10:54, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

In this case you use the template twice. It is possilbe that there are different reasons for including the logo in each article. Sv1xv (talk) 11:08, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
Ok, thanks i will add another template. 13:12, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Clarifcation requested...

It was my understanding that it was desirable to have original rights holder attribution information with respect to Fair-Use images..

However, it has been raised as a concern by some contributors, that this isn't strictly needed by the relevant legislation.

Could a clarification be added to the guide as to whether or not Fair Use images need to indicate who the original copyright holder(s) in terms of both the image itself and any content depicted is ?
