License tagging for Image:Beere.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Beere.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 02:04, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

no problem

[edit]

You seem to be progressing nicely with the article, and dipping your toes into other areas of the project. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have in the future (I don't have all the answers, but I'm pretty good at finding them, and it's good practice for me). -- nae'blis (talk) 00:12, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since it's mostly a dialogue between you and I, I'm just copying this to your talk page. Hope you don't mind...


You admin keep trying to delete this page yet you do not care to give reason or explaination!--Gainax 16:08, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

...two minutes later, you added your vote to the AfD page, where reason and explanation was given. There was also reason and explanation given when the page was tagged as a speedy delete (which it shouldn't have been) and as a prod. Is there a part of the explanations given so far that hasn't been clear? Ask here, at the AfD, or on my talk page if you need help with it and I can fill you in some.

OK I admit. I am a n00b in wiki. I just started and it took me a while to get my page ready.. but within that 2 or so hours I spent adding stuff I had admin snapping at my heels trying to delete my first page! I wanted to protect it so I did what I thought would work: removed the tags. Sorry if this was wrong but it's all i knew. --Gainax 16:36, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Rescue from Deletion Barnstar, for establishing the significance of Jackie Beere and changing my mind.
Don't worry about it. As I mentioned before, the article definitely should NOT have been tagged for speedy deletion, it was done so by a fairly new user who has a history of being overenthusiastic about his use of that tag. I'm actually the first admin to have come by the page, which is when I prodded it. Had I known then what I know now, I would've let it rest, as the changes you and others have made to it have tipped the scales for me — particularly the OBE confirmation and book — so, well done. I was also a little biased at the first reading; I saw it as a vanity page that was written by Beere herself (and it didn't help that I had just gone through a marathon session of deleting several other vanity pages marked by other users as such).
At any rate, the changes are enough to convince me to strikeout my vote in support of deletion. AfD's are meant to reach consensus on whether an article is appropriate here, even though they often turn into battlegrounds. The article is above that bar now, at least in my book, and as such, I think I owe you one of these — a Rescue from Deletion Barnstar (barnstars are Wikipedia awards). I'm sorry that you ended up as the unintended target of a series of misunderstandings, and hope it won't discourage you from staying as a regular editor. Drop me a line if I can do anything for you.

Fair use rationale for Image:JBeere.jpg

[edit]
Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:JBeere.jpg. 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.

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. BrownCow • (how now?) 17:36, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
