Wikipedia:Conservative_notice_board

Hello, I noticed that you identify as a conservative Wikipedian. So I would like to invite you to post any conservative issues you might have over at the new project page, Wikipedia:Conservative_notice_board. Thanks. --Facto 05:20, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Cavenba,

I see looking at the WikiProject user warnings page, that you are a participant in this project. I have recently started an undertaking to harmonise all user page warnings and templates. For this I would like your assistance. I have listed a number of ideas on the project template page here as a first draft. I fully appreciate that as with most editors and admins, that you are fairly busy. Therefore I am not looking for anyone to carry out the actual work, I am willing to do that myself, with help from a number of other RC Patrollers who have come forward. But what I am looking for is your invaluable input, on the draft ideas and also to suggest other ways you believe we may improve the templates. I do however require the services of a couple of administrators to put into effect some of the new templates, as they are currently protected. Please take 5 mins to look through the new templates page, and both the project and templates talk pages and leave any ideas or suggestions that you may have. Best regards Khukri ^{(talk . contribs)} 09:45, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Warehouse One

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Warehouse One, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at Talk:Warehouse One. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
I don't particularly agree nor disagree with the {{prod}}, but felt that you as the initial and only real author should know. ~ BigrTex 19:37, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi,

You have put yourself as interested in helping out atWikiProject on user warnings. We are now at a stage where we are creating the new templates and are wondering if you are still interested? If so please visit the overview page and choose a warning type you wish to work on. There is a base template available here, which you can copy and use to get you started. Have a look through the redirects and see what old templates are affected and incorporate them into the the new system. Anyway, any questions please don't hesitate to give me a shout.

Fair use rationale for Image:Vox-screenshot.png

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Vox-screenshot.png. I notice the 'image' 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. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with 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. Yamla 23:11, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Removing tags

Please do not remove tags from images, such as you did to Image:Vox-screenshot.png, without resolving the underlying problem (in this case, adding a detailed fair-use rationale). Thanks. --Yamla 02:07, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Image:Vox-screenshot.png

You said: "How does this image have "no explanation as to why it is permitted under Wikipedia's rules for fair use." When the copyright tag explains why it is fair use."

It has a license but not a detailed fair-use rationale. Please see Help:Image page for information on fair-use rationales. Thanks. --Yamla 16:07, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

You said: " It is believed that the use of a limited number of such screenshots

for identification and critical commentary relating to the website in question
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law."

yes, and in order to use them on the Wikipedia, you must adhere to WP:FU which requires a detailed fair-use rationale as described on Help:Image page. We require additional steps over and above what the law requires. --Yamla 22:35, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

You have been blocked for continuing to remove tags from images without resolving the underlying problems. You were specifically warned not to do that to that specific image. Please do not do that again. --Yamla 03:53, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Image:PeterMacKay.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:PeterMacKay.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Yamla 18:24, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair Use?

You said: "Why is it all of a sudden that there needs to be additional fair-use rational (other than what it states in the license)?"

There's no sudden need. This has been Wikipedia policy for quite some time. In fact, the license text has long spelled out this requirement explicitly. Additionally, please note that fair-use images may not be used to depict living people, so for example the image for Peter MacKay cannot be used here. --Yamla 19:44, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

You said: "Why are you using tags that say "This image is tagged as being allowed under "fair use" with a generic fair use template such as {{fairusein}} or {{fairuse}}, and was uploaded after May 4, 2006." When I have NOT used either template for ANY image"

Because these are not the only fair-use templates. They are two of the possible fair-use templates. logo and Canada-policitian-photo are two others. Also, just in case you didn't catch it, an item released under crown copyright is by the very definition not in the public domain. --Yamla 20:02, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Image:Vox.png

Thanks for adding a detailed fair-use rationale to Image:Vox.png. You also need to identify which article the rationale is for. In general, your rationale needs to specifically mention why it must be used in that particular article, but that's obvious here. I've taken the liberty of adding an identification of the article to that image. Once again, thank you. --Yamla 20:12, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Grandfathered

In a confusing turn of events, images which were uploaded before 2006-05-04 do not require rationales, though they must still be used in such a manner as a rationale could be provided. I've removed the tag you added to Image:CTV logo.svg because of this. But thanks, and keep up the good work! --Yamla 20:30, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Warehouseone.PNG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Warehouseone.PNG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. 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. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
