| I didn't realize until going through the history, what form your earlier comments had taken. I wasn't trying to be offensive or dismissive of your views, I was, probably inappropriately, expressing the dismissiveness w/ which I regard Gibson and anything he says, either against Jews ''or'' in apology for such remarks. I'm not surprised he made the statements he made, nor am I surprised he apologized profusely. While I still love watching the Lethal Weapon movies, I have long since lost any respect I once had for Gibson as a person, so his offensive remarks and reconciliatory pleas hold the same lack of interest for me. All I was saying, of relevance to the discussion on the article talk page, is that while until he says "I hate Jews" or something like that, or starts funding the US Nazi Partei, etc., I don't support putting him in ], '''''but'''''!

Image tagging for Image:Gibsonpatriot.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Gibsonpatriot.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Misplaced Pages's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. 03:06, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Fair Usage
Regarding the above image please self-revert the Mel Gibson article as the image you've uploaded does not qualify for fair usage there. The Patriot (2000 film) article would be the only article that would qualify for usage of the patriot image you've uploaded. Thanks. (→Netscott) 19:00, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- This is a warning. Do not replace (through uncommenting out) this image in the Mel Gibson article. If you do so you are likely to face blocking per Misplaced Pages's blocking policy regarding such material. Thanks. (→Netscott) 19:21, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- By all means edit according to Misplaced Pages's fair use policy relative to any given article. (→Netscott) 19:24, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- Do not make false accusations. You have now had your fair use image addtions reverted by not only myself but also by User:Freakofnurture. If you continue you will be blocked. I tried being polite with you and such politeness failed to get your attention. I suspect that a block will be slightly more attention getting. (→Netscott) 19:53, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- Do not refer to User:Freakofnurture as "freak-head". You have not properly understood the policy. Because there is a viable free alternative image to show who Mel Gibson is there is no valid fair use rationale to use other images of him on the article about him. Rather than spend time arguing I would recommend that you try to find a free alternative image of him that meets your approval. (→Netscott) 20:01, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Melpremiere.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Melpremiere.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Misplaced Pages because of copyright law (see Misplaced Pages's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Misplaced Pages are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. (→Netscott) 20:12, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- Greetings again, please see Misplaced Pages:Fair_use#Counterexamples, specifically #5. This image belongs to the press agency Wireimage. This is why this image you've uploaded doesn't qualify for Fair use on the Mel Gibson article. Thanks.
Also know that User:Stellatomailing uploaded that exact image but after understanding the above explanation he requested its deletion. (→Netscott) 05:20, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Image:Melpremiere.jpg listed for deletion
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Melpremiere.jpg, has been listed at Misplaced Pages:Images and media for deletion.

Talk:Mel Gibson
I didn't realize until going through the history, what form your earlier comments had taken. I wasn't trying to be offensive or dismissive of your views, I was, probably inappropriately, expressing the dismissiveness w/ which I regard Gibson and anything he says, either against Jews or in apology for such remarks. I'm not surprised he made the statements he made, nor am I surprised he apologized profusely. While I still love watching the Lethal Weapon movies, I have long since lost any respect I once had for Gibson as a person, so his offensive remarks and reconciliatory pleas hold the same lack of interest for me. All I was saying, of relevance to the discussion on the article talk page, is that while until he says "I hate Jews" or something like that, or starts funding the US Nazi Partei, etc., I don't support putting him in Category:Anti-Semites, but! I completely understand why pretty much any reasonable person could well-believe he fits in that category just as surely as Adolf Hitler or Haman. Tomer 10:13, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Image copyright problem with Image:Gibsonpatriot.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Gibsonpatriot.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Misplaced Pages because of copyright law (see Misplaced Pages's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Misplaced Pages are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. (→Netscott) 22:03, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Orphaned fair use image (Image:Gibsonpatriot.jpg)

This file may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading Image:Gibsonpatriot.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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.
If you have uploaded other fair use 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 Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Fair use rationale for Image:Gibsonpatriot.jpg

This file may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading Image:Gibsonpatriot.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 Misplaced Pages articles 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 Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Fair use images and Misplaced Pages
Karatenerd, there is nothing wrong with the images you've uploaded but they do not qualify for fair use under the {{film-screenshot}} tag which states, "This image is a screenshot from a copyrighted film, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by the studio which produced the film, and possibly also by any actors appearing in the screenshot. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots
- for identification and critical commentary on the film and its contents"
Please see Misplaced Pages:Images_and_media_for_deletion/2006_August_9. This was explained to you previously. Please cease trying to use unqualified fair use images on the Mel Gibson article and find a "free use" image that is suitable to your POV on it. (→Netscott) 03:42, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
- Now you appear to be understanding better. I suggest you add to the above Image for deletion thread saying that the above images are no longer being used on the Mel Gibson article but are now being used in the articles related to the films they correspond to. If you don't add such talk they likely will be deleted. Thanks. (→Netscott) 04:06, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
- Fair use is only applicable to the Signs film. {{film-screenshot}} specifically states as much. Now you've got the image back in the Mel Gibson article. (→Netscott) 18:54, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Image:Leestrobel.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Leestrobel.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Smee 06:08, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Fossilcompany.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Fossilcompany.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 Misplaced Pages 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.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.BetacommandBot 09:14, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Bs shavedhead.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Bs shavedhead.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Misplaced Pages:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:38, 20 July 2008 (UTC).
