All non free images (which the image linked above is) need a rationale. I suggest you read WP:RAT.--Rockfang (talk) 22:20, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

response

[edit]

But what else is there to add? I mean, the image is being used in the article Ground Control. It's a non-free game screenshot, as its licensing shows. I stated a description of the image (well, until it was reverted, anyways), which contained a link to said article. Is there a free content template, then? Are you asking me to use the template in the middle of that page you linked? I honestly can't see what you're proposing, because from what I can tell, what I had put covered the fair use rationale requirement. Keron Cyst (talk) 16:57, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Let's look at the image before I arrived at it. There is a line labeled "To the uploader". It tells you to add a rationale and gives you a link where you can find out more info. On that page (near the top) it states you need:
  1. An appropriate copyright tag (which is already there)
  2. A detailed fair use rationale. A separate rationale must be provided each time the image is used in an article. The name of the article the image is used in must be included in the rationale.
If you check out the "Necessary components" section of that page (link here), it shows what exactly is needed:
  • What proportion of the copyrighted work is used and to what degree does it compete with the copyright holder's usage? For example, if the image is a photograph or logo, the entire work is likely being used. A screenshot that reveals the most important discovery of a documentary or the ending of a movie, for example, though a very small portion of the work, may disproportionately compete with the copyright holder's use. In the case of a music sample, the length should be no longer than 10 percent of the song's original length or 30 seconds, whichever is shorter.
  • If applicable, has the resolution been reduced from the original? In the case of music samples, has the quality been reduced from the original?
  • What purpose does the image serve in the article? If applicable:
    • Is the image a logo, photograph, or box art for the main subject of the article?
    • Is the image being used as the primary means of visual identification of the subject or topic? (e.g., a corporate logo or the box art of a DVD)
    • Does it illustrate the topic of the article? (e.g., a screen shot from a movie)
    • Is it used for commentary on a particular topic? How?
  • To what degree is the image replaceable by a free content image?
    • If the image is a screenshot of a movie that for an article about the movie, or a corporate logo, there is obviously no such thing as a "free" version of it - all of the resources in the world could not produce one. If, on the other hand, the image is a photograph, the image is more easily replaced, even if Wikipedians may lack the resources to create a replacement.
  • Any other information necessary to assist others in determining whether the use of this image qualifies for fair use.
None of those items were on the page. There are 2 ways to add this required info to an image's page. By using a template, or by not using one.--Rockfang (talk) 01:54, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

re

[edit]

I flat-out disagree.

  • A separate rationale must be provided each time the image is used in an article. The name of the article the image is used in must be included in the rationale.

The image was used once, and the name of the article was in the rationale—we agree with that.

  • What purpose does the image serve in the article?

You have got to be kidding me! What is the purpose of all images throughout Wikipedia? So I have to put "The purpose of this image is to graphically present content from or an example" (the example being a screenshot from a program—in this case, the game) "from the article to other users" for all of my images? I see no other images throughout the entire website with such an obvious explanation, and I don't understand why you nitpick at mine specifically.

    • Does it illustrate the topic of the article? (e.g., a screen shot from a movie)

Yes, it did. Everyone could understand clearly that it was a screenshot from a computer game. The description it bore showed this as well (what else can the phrase "... from Ground Control" mean?).

    • Is it used for commentary on a particular topic? How?

Yes, it exampled a controllable unit in the game, specifically the Artillery Terradyne, which is a famous and useful unit in Ground Control. And I quite specifically described that the graphic depicted the Artillery Terradyne launching a barrage.

  • To what degree is the image replaceable by a free content image?

It's ironic how the guidelines demand me of an answer for this while that very free-content article is itself riddled is with no-original-research templates and missing citations. But it's a screenshot anyways so I guess I'm guilty of not putting "It's a screenshot, so it's virtually impossible to be replaced." Valid point!

You'll probably want to look through the rest of my images and delete them all, too, since I guess I pretty much did the same for them. You can start in the Gunroar article; all of those images were taken by me. And find all the blocks of descriptions too. Make sure you check out the rest of the ABA Games articles, too, and rid them of their "original research," even when they're all backed by each of their official linked websites. Be sure to make them no less graphically barren than they were before I came along. You'll probably want to put in stub templates back in place that I correspondingly removed as I stepped in, in that case.

(I'd probably not be so bitter if the deletion date wasn't yesterday. Now it's irreversible and I never kept a copy of the orig. file. I'm not going to try to reupload again since my attempts to help this otherwise great encyclopedia will apparently be hypocritically rejected. I've NEVER had a problem with ANY of my images until now.) Keron Cyst (talk) 21:50, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you would like the WP:NFCC and WP:RAT pages to change, you could possibly suggest changes on their talk page.--Rockfang (talk) 03:41, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

American spelling

[edit]

Hello. I noticed two articles in which you changed "honor" to "honour" and one in which you changed "programmes" to "programs". Please note this passage from Wikipedia:Manual of Style:

for example, it is unacceptable to change from British to American spelling unless the article concerns an American topic.

If you look at the style manuals I think you'll find this gone into at greater length, and probably some relevant discussions on the talk pages. Michael Hardy (talk) 02:33, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

... more specificallly: see the section called National varieties of English in Wikipedia:Manual of Style, and the manual called Wikipedia:Manual of Style (spelling). Michael Hardy (talk) 02:37, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:WZ2100Skirmish.PNG. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

[edit]

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:50, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Stick Soldiers gameplay.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 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:37, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
