I was wondering if your bot could tag all images on ] for no fair use rationale tags. ] 21:48, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

: There are 53 images on that page. If you'd like to have them removed for non-notability, do that directly. The appropriate thing to do here would be to have the bot put identical rationale tags on each of the images. It would likely be less work than was needed to upload the images. ]<sup>]</sup> 06:02, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

==Use less text==
Your bot inserts the following text:
: Image:Jean Mayer.jpg is being used on this article. 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 this Misplaced Pages article 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 there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. 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.

Where the following would have sufficed:

: NOTICE: MISSING RATIONALE. A rationale for ] in this article must be provided on the . Please insert a ''completed'' ] in addition to the fair use tag. Images without rationale may be deleted after one week. <small>More info at ]. Ask questions at ].</small> ~

The extended version wastes time - some people don't care about details and explanations, they just want to know what to do to resolve the problem: "fill this in and paste it here". Sections are redundant. It's difficult for a regular contributor to re-identify it without reading two sentences in. It's too verbose and too 'polite' - I'm not inclined to act on it, nor is it clear what my act should be. Please shorten (and thus clarify) your bot's messages, and encourage other operators to do the same. ]<sup>]</sup> 06:02, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

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.
  • Read this talk page before registering your complaint. It is likely someone has already registered a similar complaint, and that complaint will have been given an answer.
  • Bug reports are very welcome; tagging images as this bot is doing per policy is not a bug.

Favorite statement about ORFU images:

Thank you for the message, Mr. Bot, but you have to understand that this image was used in an article, but the article got deleted. PK 18:19, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
