PLEASE DIRECT ALL QUESTIONS ABOUT IMAGES TO THE IMAGE COPYRIGHT HELP DESK.
If you are here to register a complaint regarding this bot's edits, before doing so please note:
  1. Questions and complaints can be directed to the Image Copyright Help Desk where a team of volunteers will endeavor to offer useful advice in a convivial atmosphere. If you are using this service, remember that help desk volunteers are not responsible for BetacommandBot and do not decide which images get tagged. Please try and remain calm when using the help desk.
  2. There is a very clear policy regarding the use of images that are not released under free content licenses. This policy is located at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content criteria. Complaints about the policy itself should be directed to the talk page or to the Wikimedia Foundation; this bot merely enforces it.
  3. Read this talk page and its archives before registering your complaint. It is likely someone has already registered a similar complaint, and that complaint will have been given an answer.
  4. Read the policy
  5. Check and make sure the image has a valid source
  6. Make sure that the image has a valid Fair use Rationale (A guide can be found here)
  7. I will not add rationales for you as the uploader it is your responsibility NOT mine.
  8. I do not want to see images deleted
  9. All images must comply with policy
  10. A generic template tag is NOT a valid fair use rationale.
  11. If you're here to whine and complain that But <place image name here> is just like my image and isn't tagged for deletion I will tag that image too, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
  12. 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.
  13. 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 and media #6. Also please see the Wikimedia Foundation's resolution on this matter at Resolution:Licensing policy point #4.
  14. For quite some time, we have attempted to encourage people to provide rationales. The results of this effort have been dismal at best.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. Bug reports are very welcome; tagging images as this bot is doing per policy is not a bug.
