Fair use rationale for File:Dailymile_profile.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Dailymile_profile.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. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 non-free media 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 19:59, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

@Melesse - Thanks for the warning, I will add fair use as soon as I get home; if it helps at all, the screencap is of my own profile, so at least I'm not using the profile pic without consent. I consent! :) Pipesdreams (talk) 20:20, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Update: Okay, done! I added my rationale to Dailymile_profile.jpg, although after examining other website screencaps, I think perhaps I should have followed a different model and said that as the Author (person who took the screencap, and partial creator of the webpage, since it is my profile) I was publishing under a GNU license, like this image: http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/File:Ravelry-My-Notebook.png Hmm... will consider for next time.

Orphaned non-free image File:Dailymile profile.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Dailymile profile.jpg. 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude2 (talk) 06:17, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of The Late Scholar

The article The Late Scholar has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:PRIMARY and WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
