File:LeslieMcGrath.jpg

Hi, Triptychfortwo, and welcome to Wikipedia. I stumbled across File:LeslieMcGrath.jpg, which you uploaded. You say you've contacted Leslie McGrath to "acertain that this image could be used." What does that mean? Does she own the copyright to this photograph? If so, did she agree to license it under a free license? If the copyright holder has not agreed to release this image freely, so that anyone can use it for any purpose, then it is not free enough for use here on Wikipedia. Please see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for information about how permission should be requested and where to send evidence of permission when it's obtained. If you have questions or need help, please let me know. —Bkell (talk) 00:46, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:LeslieMcGrath.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:LeslieMcGrath.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 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Closedmouth (talk) 07:55, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
