Thank you for the welcome! (Where did you find out the swedish word for "Welcome", or was that just something that came automatically?) Happy to contribute! (At least sometimes, the DC Database needs my help more than Wikipedia for now) :) --The Clever Guy ^Talk! 19:18, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just searched for "welcome" on an English-Swedish web dictionary :). I love wikipedia because of its international nature and it's the only place where language, religion or creed isn't a barrier. Still, I always go the extra mile. Besides, Swedish is one of the languages that I am going to learn in the future anyway. Keep up the good work, wherever it is you choose to contribute.

Fair use rationale for Image:Legionnaires37Monel.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Legionnaires37Monel.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.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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. Bigr Tex 14:47, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ouch... I'm not an expert on fair use rationales. Could you help?

What is supposed to be in the Portion and Replaceability sections? If replaceability is what I believe it is, then I've no idea if there are any free media that could be used instead. If portion is what I believe it is, then the portion used is a full (solicited) cover of a comic book. Am I right? (and is this a good fair use rationale in the other sections?) Greetings, The Clever Guy ^Talk! 13:13, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, portion is how much of the copyrighted work is shown. Most of my uploads have been album covers, where it is 'entire cover'. If you were cropping a character out of an ensemble piece or a screenshot, you would want to explain that.

Replaceability concerns photographs more than either album covers or comic art. If it were a publicity photo of someone who does a lot of appearances, it would be easy for someone to take a camera and get a free replacement. With album covers and here, you just need to explain that there would be no way to produce a free replacement of the image because the subject of the image itself is covered by copyright.

Thank you for working to address this. ~ Bigr Tex 15:43, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the explanation. I'll remove the rationale from here and put it at the image description page. (And I'll put similar rationales on other fair use images I've uploaded.) Greetings, The Clever Guy (Talk/Contribs) 17:06, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Silver Surfer user box

Sure, go ahead. Just replace the picture within the userbox template. Though be warned that other users who use the userbox might prefer an authorised image. Zuracech lordum 02:44, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I substituted the SS cover for the offending image a few days ago that hasn't been flagged yet to the best of my knowledge. AlbertHall 14:09, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll replace the image when it's finshed. Greetings, The Clever Guy (Talk • Contribs) 15:22, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Silver Surfer user box image license

Please see Wikipedia:Granting work into the public domain. You should find sufficient information there. I recommend using this license - {{CopyrightedFreeUse-User}} - to release your work to the public domain. While you retain the copyrights to the image, it will allow other users unilateral and unrestricted use due to its status as free content. This will allow the image to be used within the user box. Alternatively, you may want to use an external creative commons license in which case, I recommend placing {{cc-by}} Name of your website within the license section for the image.

When you're done with that, simply replace the image code within the Silver Surfer user box template. Feel free to come back and ask me any other questions but I am currently abroad and hence may be unable to respond swiftly.

By the way, the image looks sweet. Look forward to seeing your rendition. Zuracech lordum 06:23, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I'm a little too busy right now, but I'll read through that. By the way, I uploaded the picture to the Marvel Database not too long ago (there are a special fan art license there, so it wasn't a problem at all). Here it is. You may have comments about it, and I still got the editable file if you want it changed somehow (or if you think it's just crap and demands that it must be totally remade). The Clever Guy (Talk • Contribs) 06:56, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not bad. Can the Surfer be more silvery than gray? And his board needs to be more distinct (check out other photos to see what I mean). Take your time but do know that my opinion doesn't matter squat. You can do whatever you want as long as it's within reason and you can justify whatever you want to do. Zuracech lordum 03:02, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good job

Well done with the image. The userbox looks much better now and it's good to see that you stuck to your goal till the very end. Thanks for the help. Zuracech lordum 04:52, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:LSHv5-31.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:LSHv5-31.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 04:40, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Triplicate Girl LSH3.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Triplicate Girl LSH3.jpg. 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) 19:12, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Chameleon Reep Daggle.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Chameleon Reep Daggle.jpg.

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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box.
