Orphaned non-free media (Image:Foto-de-brigitte-bardot.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Foto-de-brigitte-bardot.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media 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. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed 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. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 17:16, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Emmanuelle Bèart.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media 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 media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-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 media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media 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 description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stu 12:58, 3 December 2007 (UTC))

Speedy deletion of Alexander Campbell (actor)

A tag has been placed on Alexander Campbell (actor) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

Non-free images

I replaced the deleted nonfree image at Flesh and Fantasy with a free image I captured from the film trailer, which I found on a website after some searching. Trailers of older films are usually public domain images, and thus can be freely used on Misplaced Pages. The trailer to Flesh and Fantasy, in fact, was a treasure trove of free images of major stars (Robinson, Boyer, Stanwyck) in addition to the film itself.

I'm just learning this myself, and I've been frustrated myself with the policy on nonfree images, which seems to go beyond the requirements of the copyright act. There was an article today in the NY Times on how Misplaced Pages has poor images because of its anal approach to copyright. Since some editors enforce the nonfree policy to a T, and beyond, my friendly suggestion would be that you be careful about those nonfree images and focus on trailers where available.

July 2009

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Jayne Mansfield, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Please, check the image guidelines in a little more carefully before slapping on disruptive tags and removing images that fall perfectly within Misplaced Pages guidelines. If you disagree with the guidelines, start a discussion on the guideline at the appropriate page. Aditya 21:19, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
