WP:FU[edit]
Your addition of a fair-use image solely to depict a living person on Jennifer Morrison was a blatant violation of WP:FU. I'm not sure how you thought this was anything other than a violation given the comment you removed. Please do not do this again. --Yamla 14:16, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
- You said: "I'm sorry, you seem to be arguing in circles. Would you happen to explain, in clear english, why using the portrait of a character she plays in another TV show/Computer game, is in violation of FU if it is clearly and already utilized in Wikipedia on another article(s)?"
- "No free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information. If unfree material can be transformed into free material, it should be done instead of using a "fair use" defense. For example, the information in a newspaper article can easily be used as the basis of an original article and then cited as a reference. Maps and diagrams can often be redrawn from original sources, though simply "tracing" copyrighted material does not make it free. Neither photographs nor sound clips, however, can usually be "transformed" in this way. However, if the subject of the photograph still exists, a freely-licensed photograph could be taken." --Yamla 15:56, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
- You said: "That fails to answer the question in clear english. What you could simply have said is "Don't use Character images or promotional photos from other sources", i figured that out after reading that confusing paragraph many times over. Perhaps you should consider ammending your commented warning to say such, so it doesnt confuse people"
- It's not my warning. But "Any fair use photos (i.e. promotional photos, album covers) are copyright violations and will be deleted" seems clear enough to me. --Yamla 16:04, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
