I noticed you removed one of these from my user page. That's OK (I understand the ramifications of having fair-use images on a user page, thus denigrating our fair use claims), but what's the history behind the deletion of these images? Wouldn't a parody be considered fair use on the user page? And is the Che image copyrighted (it seems to be all over the place these days). Thanks for your help. Cheers, ]<sup>] | ]</sup> 23:49, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
<!-- EdwardsBot 0386 -->
:They were fair use images, and claim as so by the uploader himself. While yes they can be considered a parody, they are still under the fair use doctrine, which does not allow it to be on userpages. And, since the images were only used to be decorated in the userspace, they had to be deleted. Sorry, but it had to be done. ] <small><sup>] ] </sup></small> 00:58, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Hey Zach. ] is your bot, right? Being that it just performed several image replacements in one of my watched articles, I'm thinking that .svg images are superior to .png files, correct? I'm asking because, if that's the case, I'll try to privilege this format when/if uploading this kind of image in the future.<br>Plus I wish I had a bot of my own. But that's just envy talking, I don't even have a use for one right now ;) ] 05:52, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I'm looking for someone that can write bots to find a bot that could tag all the untagged images as no licence and notify the uploader, there were 38000+ images in the last database dump, and only 10% have been tagged in a month.

Hello Zach, I finally went to the Bishopric Hill to take some pics of the bandera monumental in order to use them in the article of the Flag of Mexico. Let me know what you think. I only uploaded 2 of the 40 I took. I will buy a better digital cam (semi pro) so I would be able to provide nicer pics soon. See ya.

Hi Z'. I noticed you had already talked to {{user|Alphabetagamnma}} about copyright.

Hi there. I noticed you replaced the picture in ] with the letters OSU. I thought it looked much better with the image there, and the image tag description looks as if it is fine to use for this. "It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of logos to illustrate the corporation, sports team, or '''organization''' in question on the English-language Misplaced Pages, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law.". This says to me that use of this image here is fine. Care to explain why you removed it? ] 02:55, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
:Well, from what I have been told, fair use images are allowed in articles, but they cannot be used in userboxes. This is stated at ], our policy page about fair use images. I removed the image because it was licensed under fair use and that is why I replaced it with text. ] <small><sup>] ] </sup></small> 03:03, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
::Upon reading that, I cannot fault you for following Misplaced Pages policy. I can, however, fault the policy. From what I can tell, sports team logos do qualify as fair use even on a userpage, and to completely try and avoid images tagged as fair use being used on userpages just because in "many" cases they are not allowed in that fasion seems to broad of a policy. I will have to look in to this further. ] 03:20, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Well, from what I can tell you, fair use is a very grey area. And The Powers That Be decided to make the fair use pictures a "not so good" idea, and I do not know why they want to do this. Maybe because they do not see fair use images as being "fair use" on userpages, some see it as causing server problems, some see it as not nessrecary.
