Image on Yasmin Paige
Hi, Azathar. I won't remove the image you added to Yasmin Paige, but I wanted to make you aware that there is some controversy about using fair use images for living people, and other editors may remove the image soon. The argument is that Misplaced Pages should avoid using fair use images whenever a free image could be created, and it's theoretically possible to make a free image of any living person. Now, there's nothing wrong with using a fair use image to depict a fictional character (such as Maria Jackson), because any image that's not created by the copyright holder is really a picture of the actor rather than the role (although a few extremists would like to remove all fair use images from Misplaced Pages, they haven't succeeded in gaining much traction so far). You can get a taste of the debate at Misplaced Pages talk:Fair use. I just thought you should know. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 06:27, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Image tagging for Image:MorganYork.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:MorganYork.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.

Fair use rationale for Image:Castle_Amber_X2.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Castle_Amber_X2.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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
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 ensure 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 non-free media 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. ShakespeareFan00 19:29, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
