You know, there are so many licenses, it is so complicated that I couldn't give a shit at this point. It is my software, and I took the screenshot, and I approve it for it to be used in Wikipedia. You can change it to whatever one of the 30 thousand licenses and restrictions the image fits in, I don't have the time for such technicalities. |

fair use for Vanessa Peters image
Hi. I got a message from you about the fair use rationale for a photo illustrating an image I had uploaded to illustrate the Vanessa Peters page. I expanded the text portion where I had tried to provide fair use justification. I would really like to make sure that this image is not deleted. What do I need to add to the justification to ensure fair use of the image? Thanks and have a nice day. --Entoaggie09 (talk) 18:19, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
- I have looked again at the image and it fails WP:NFCC#1. There is nothing you can do to fix the image. Rettetast (talk) 19:06, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
- I am attempting to contact the copyright holder to see if a GFDL license is possible for that particular work. Is there any way that I can get a short reprieve from the deletion request, or will I just have to upload it again?--Entoaggie09 (talk) 15:00, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
- I have extended the deadline with one week. Rettetast (talk) 09:20, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
- I believe I have been able to negotiate the usage of this photo under a GFDL license. What do I and/or the image owner need to do now in order for the image to stay online? Thanks again for working with me on this one.--Entoaggie09 (talk) 18:18, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
- Great. There are instructions at WP:COPYREQ. Get here to send an e-mail to the address you find there where she states that the image is released under GFDL. Rettetast (talk) 18:36, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Ok, so I uploaded the image to commons and emailed the GFDL documentation to OTRS. How long does it usually take for this kind of thing to go through completely? Also, I'm not exactly sure how to link to a commons file here on wikipedia. The commons file is here: [1]. Thanks for all your help with this.--Entoaggie09 (talk) 16:14, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
Image mistakenly deleted
Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Possibly_unfree_images/2008_July_9#Image:FO.jpg
But then the image was deleted, without the discussion being resolved. Please advise.--Asdfg12345 00:02, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
- The image was deleted by User:Bjweeks. Rettetast (talk) 16:56, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
Edit needed on a protected template
Hi, Rettetast!! Could you please use your administrative tools to edit a protected template? I would greatly appreciate it if you could add a wikilink to Egyptian royalty in Template:S-roy, and link it to the Muhammad Ali Dynasty article. Regards. BomBom (talk) 00:11, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
- Hi. Since I don't know much about the topic it would be better if you request the change at the talk page of the template. Add {{editprotected}} to get other admins attention. Rettetast (talk) 16:56, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. I did not know of the existence of such a template. BomBom (talk) 17:52, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi I have resized the image as requested. Let me know if there's anything else that I can do. Thanks. Someformofhuman Speak now! 02:16, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. I have deleted the old version. Rettetast (talk) 16:56, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
- Ah yes. Not a problem. Thanks again. Someformofhuman Speak now! 01:39, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
Over-tagging of images for 10c?
I'm looking at some of the images you've tagged as NFCC 10c violations. Many of them seem to require only minor changes or none at all to the text, and are far from being violations of copyright or Wikipedia's fair use policy.
As an example, there's Image:Smsaacv.jpg, just one among many. That image page seemed to meet the requirements of a rationale:
- It identified what article it was for (Aerial Assault).
- It justified why it was fair use (it was for identification of the game, low resolution, irreplacable because it is cover art, etc.) by using a copyright tag ({{non-free game cover}}) that already included all of that information.
But you tag many images such as that for deletion anyway. Many of them are summarily deleted, without being re-examined, by Misza13 in his controversial adminbot form. Why are you tagging images like that? rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 21:38, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
- Non-free images needs both a copyright tag and a rationale. When I go through a couple of hundred images a day, I don't have the time to check all images uses, and to write a rationale. It may take go fast with a few but writing rationales takes time and there is just not enough hours in a day. It is not enough to say that the image is irreplaceable. You have to state how the image passes WP:NFCC#8. (Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding.)
- I see who deletes images I tag and very few are deleted by Miza13 and when there are deletion by Miza13, because of no rationale, it does not look like he/she is using a bot, since the deletions are happening more irregular and a few a minute.
- Each day there are uploaded several thousands of images to wikipedia, and if you would like to help go through and check for violations of our policy, give me a note and I can point you to a starting point. Rettetast (talk) 16:56, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
- What do you require in a rationale? I've never seen any sort of consensus on that, except that using a specific template is not required. It's never been required that the rationale is enclosed in some separate box. Just because the copyright tag and the rationale have different requirements doesn't mean it makes any sense to ignore the entirety of the copyright tag when judging whether an image page passes NFCC. Would you prefer that everyone has to repeat themselves? Would this make any sense to our contributors?
- The scope of NFCC#8 is also debated (you could argue that no image is "irreplaceable"), and because of that I'd say an insufficent explanation per NFCC#8 would be grounds for discussion, not deletion. Also, if the problem is NFCC#8, make that clear and don't use the 10c tag, so that people who are concerned about the way NFCC#8 is applied can see it.

Image tagging
When tagging images for deletion, can you please be sure to add the deletion notice to the articles the image is in use on as well? Image:DaveCarter-smaller.jpg got needlessly deleted because no notice was added to Dave Carter, when I could easily have provided a rationale, and would have if I'd known it was at issue. I've restored the image and added a rationale, but it really shouldn't have been a blindsiding. Phil Sandifer (talk) 13:36, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
- I will look into it, but I tried using Twinkle who do this, but howchengs tool are much more efficient. Rettetast (talk) 16:57, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure how you can decline deleting a blatant copyright violation, which that image is without a fair-use rationale, especially when the uploader refused to provide one when prompted. Asher196 (talk) 21:57, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
- It is not a blatant copyright infringement when fair use is claimed. Yes the rationale is not filled out yet, but please advise the uploader and give him some time. Deleting the image now solves nothing. Rettetast (talk) 22:06, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
- I informed the uploader three days ago. Asher196 (talk) 22:08, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
yet another Anti fair use nazi
Listen, pal. People spend alot of time and effort to contribute original photographs to Wikipedia and we don't need people like you going around and destroying this work. The photographs I have taken and carefully uploaded as copyrighted/FU because they are statues, are not replaceable, no matter what you say, so please stop wasting everyone's time with your misguided campaign against fair use photographs.--Jeff (talk) 02:02, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
Need guidance (Image:Jean_Stapleton.jpg)
Hi! So I can learn from my errors, I would like your opinion and guidance on the following image: New Radicals
I consider both images the same way as they convey the same message of illustrating the subject article with a visual representation of the subject.
Thank you, I am lost. --Jazzeur (talk) 02:30, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Image:Danielle_Brisebois_singer.JPG
You claim that: "This non-free image appears to illustrate a subject for which a free one could reasonably be found or created..."
Please help me finding and/or creating such an image. I already asked the artist and her agent and I did not receive any response; not even an acknowledgment. I really don't know how to do this properly.
Thank you, --Jazzeur (talk) 04:28, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
