The bot is tagging images that have a fair use rationale. For example ]. ] <small>]</small> 20:05, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
:Yes, it has a fair-use rationale, but not a correct one. The fair-use rationale has to be provided for every page it is used on, but now it links to another page. Hope this helps. --] <sup>] ]</sup> 20:42, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

I loaded this up thinking it was OK as "cover art" being an album cover, if I am wrong please remove immediately. --] (]) 20:11, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
:You have to explain on which page(s) the fair-use rationale is valid. Hope this explains. --] <sup>] ]</sup> 20:59, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

== Redirects. Again. ==

Didn't you get in trouble for not recognizing redirects about 5 months or so ago? Well, your bot is ignoring backlink redirects in fair use rationale again. Due to page moves and merges and the like, this is not tenable. Please stop your bot until you fix the problem. ] (]) 20:19, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Could anyone help me to put a right fair use template to this image?... ] I don't understand a thing, and I'd really like to have this problem solved. It would be sad to have this pic removed... Help, please! ] (]) 20:42, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

==Image:Rena-udeba1.jpg==

You're bot says this image infringes ], but there's a clear fair use rationale for each article the image is used in, with all the information required by that criterion. Therefore, I'm removing the tag. If you still have a concern, feel free to discuss it on the image's ].
EDIT: I realized the link to the relevant article provided in the fair use rationale was a redirect. Maybe that was the cause of the wrong tagging? ] (]) 21:52, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Please do not use the word "disputed". People "dispute". Bots tag. There is no dispute, just an over zealous bot. —] 22:26, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

*I have to agree with this. If this bot needs to tag images which don't have links back to the article in which is used, and no existing image tag/category is suitable, perhaps a new tag and category should be created, e.g. ]. ] (]) 23:40, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

== Images used in articles which are renamed/moved ==

Please update your bot to recognize when an article is renamed or moved. The image ] used in ] was tagged for deletion, apparently because the article had the name ] when the rationale was added. The article was renamed and the redirect was replaced with a disambiguation page, which is why, if your bot is checking for redirects, this check would have failed. If your bot could check the edit history of the article (either the one in which it is used, or the one which is named in the use rationale) to determine if a rename occurred, and either leave the image alone or fix the article names in the image description, this would be a million times appreciated.

Revision as of 00:16, 27 November 2007


If you are here to register a complaint regarding this bot's edits, before doing so please note:
  • There is a very clear policy regarding having fair use rationales on fair use images. This policy is located at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content criteria point #10(c). Rationales must be provided for each use of an image. Also please see Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline.
  • We do not permit fair use, copyrighted images to exist on Misplaced Pages if rationales for that image's use are not provided. Please see Misplaced Pages:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#Images.2Fmedia #6. Also please see the Wikimedia Foundation's resolution on this matter at m:Resolution:Licensing policy point #4.
  • For quite some time, we have attempted to encourage people to provide rationales. The results of this effort have been dismal at best.
  • The creator of this bot has come under fire for performing this work manually. One of the main complaints is that the effort to tag images could just as readily be spent providing rationales. This is not the case; the uploader and/or user of each fair use image is the person who should provide the rationale. A non-involved editor can not know under what principles the user of an image intended such use as fair use.
  • The use of fair use, copyrighted images on the Wikimedia servers is covered by United States law. Our policies with respect to this bot's actions are based on that law. Please see Fair_use#Purpose_and_character.
  • Bug reports are very welcome; tagging images as this bot is doing per policy is not a bug.
