Orphaned non-free media (Image:Lasso 100x100.jpg)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Lasso 100x100.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. 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 Wikipedia (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 Wikipedia 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 19:51, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Rlbug_300x300.gif

[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Rlbug_300x300.gif. 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 Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia 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. Rettetast (talk) 11:20, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Redlasso

[edit]

Hey thanks for letting me know about that article. When I tagged the article, it said that the website provided video and audio clips to its visitors, so I thought that the article was similar to something like Youtube. However, since you said that the website provides info for more than just entertainment, like politics and headline news, the proper tag I should put is the {{website-stub}} tag, a more general stub type. I already went ahead and did that. Thanks for pointing that out for me, as we all make mistakes sometimes. Hope you enjoy it here at Wikipedia! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me!

Thanks for the change and sorry for the delay. I'm one of the founders of Redlasso and wanted to get some reference articles cited on Wikipedia about our company. We're still working on getting our message out because what we do is so different from sites like YouTube. As we get more press I'll add the citations. For the record, Redlasso is different because we don't rely on users uploading media. Instead, we record all major broadcast media (radio & tv) 24x7, then make the recordings searchable through our search platform (so you can find exactly what you want), and finally allow you to create a clip of your choosing up to 10 minutes in length that can be syndicated via links, embed tags or email. Right now I'm trying to resolve the issue with our logo. Seems I didn't site it correctly and the system is about to delete the file. Any suggestions would be appreciated. --Jmccusker (talk) 05:21, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Rlbug 100x100.gif

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Rlbug 100x100.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 05:49, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redlasso

[edit]

You can contribute to Wikipedia, but please don't insert links to Redlasso, as others have said, it is a conflict on interest. Cheers, Davnel03Sign It, Junior! 18:06, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Can you clarify one thing then? Can Redlasso users post links to Redlasso as long as they are not part of the company? Jmccusker (talk) 20:28, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not seeking external links in the external links sections of articles. These are to be inserted cautiously per WP:EL. What we're looking for is good article content. See core policies WP:V, WP:NPOV and WP:NOR. Below (orange bar) is a guide to referencing material. The best thing is to work with editors, proposing what you want to do and asking for others to evaluate it. Do this on an article talk page (discussion tab at the top of each article). Post new talk at the bottom of the page. A good example of co-operation is User:VAwebteam from the Victoria and Albert Museum. Check out their user page and user talk page: User talk:VAwebteam. They have contributed a lot of images released under GFDL. Good images are always welcome, but "wikipedia only" and "non commercial use" are not acceptable limitations.

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 02:52, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
