I didn't actually see the picture, but when you inserted it, you accidentally blanked a paragraph of text. And about the message, it is an automated template message, not a personal one.--Conrad Devonshire 03:00, 28 July 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)

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

Previous Fair Use example

Karatenerd, please see this talk regarding an image of Ayaan Hirsi Ali to better understand the whole question of free images vs. fair use images. Thanks. (→Netscott) 05:06, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

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)
