Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:FarlieDoubleEnded.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, this is in fact not the case[1][2]. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because images on Wikipedia need to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License or another free license, which allow anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial. See our non-free content guidelines for more more information.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-3.0}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file, please understand that the vast majority of images found on the internet are not appropriate for Wikipedia. Most content on the internet is copyrighted and the creator of the image has exclusive rights to use it. Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others - do not upload images that violate others' copyrights. In certain limited cases, we may be able to use an image under a claim of fair use - if you are certain that fair use would apply here, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list. If no fair use rationale applies, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. Ian¹³/t 18:35, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

It seems you may be trying to claim fair use with regards to publication in Wikipedia articles, if this is the case, please read Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria, and note that a non-free content rationale MUST be provided (please feel free to use Template:Non-free_use_rationale). Thank you, Ian¹³/t 18:35, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:EglwysHenllan.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:EglwysHenllan.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia 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 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. Ian¹³/t 18:39, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Also required is:

• Fair use rationale for Image:GoleudyEnlli.jpg
• Fair use rationale for Image:Jth01514.jpg
• Fair use rationale for Image:Myrddin Fardd.jpg
• Fair use rationale for Image:Talhaiarn.jpg

Or a suitable form of copy-left licensing.

I have tried not to delete these images instantly, despite them qualifying, to provide you a chance to change the licences.

Your efforts to improve Wikipedia are appreciated, and I think could really improve some articles, but we do have strict licensing requirements. Basically, they need to be licensed such that they can be used commercially (and of course you need to be a holder of copyright to do this), or you are uploading under a claim of fair use (a minefield sadly) but in that case images won't be able to be more than about 300px tall or wide, and will require both a fair-use copyright tag and a rationale for each article they are included in.

Fair use

Helo Telor. I just wanted to say that I have been reviewing the images you have uploaded, and they all seem fine provided a fair use rationale is added. Note that fair use rationales are particularly applicable to images that cannot be duplicated by a free equivalent - this would mean people who have died, buildings that no longer exist, and so on.

Also note that more preferable than fair use would be for the NLoW to release low-resolution copies of their images under a free license; I hope this may be possible in future. I would advise either you or Paul Bevan make contact with our fair use image specialists, at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Fair use; they will be able to give your far better advice than I. Diolch yn fawr y pob lwc! Neıl ☄ 14:12, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

After myself also taking a look, may I ask of the following:

• Images of a person can only be fair-use if they are dead (and therefore a free image isn't possible), and it would be good if this could be explicitly stated;
• For images of buildings you should state how it is different from the building today, or that the building no longer exists (if you can't say this, again the image cannot be used under fair-use);
• Please don't upload images with a maximum width or height (whichever is largest) of more than ~320px
• It should depict only the specific subject concerned.
• For ALL images, please provide a link to the collection's image description page from the project and/or a direct link to the photo (both if possible...), to allow us to fully attribute the source;

and if you could please do this to all of the above images as well please. I have done the resizing and cropping for you.

But most of all, thank you for adding to Wikipedia. Cheers, Ian¹³/t 18:54, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use images

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:EglwysHenllan.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. 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?

And also, Image:GoleudyEnlli.jpg

Whilst these images are historical and unique, their depiction of the subject is not. That is, if I went there and took a freely-licensed image, as far as I can tell it would look pretty much the same. Ian¹³/t 19:54, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Ieuan Gwyllt.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Ieuan Gwyllt.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:23, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

I've fixed the rationale. Ian¹³/t 09:54, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:R J Derfel.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:R J Derfel.jpg. 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.

Library of Wales images

Please don't tag these images as {{non-free standard test image}}. See standard test image for what should be tagged like that, and WP:IT for a full list of image tags. Most of the Library of Wales images are not subject to copyright as they are so old — {{PD-US}} and {{PD-old-70}} might be appropriate. Stifle (talk) 13:11, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
