From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

==Welcome== Hello Sixtrojans and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you've chosen to join us. This is a great project with lots of dedicated people, which might seem intimidating at times, but don't let anything discourage you. Be bold!, explore, and contribute. Try to be civil by following simple guidelines and signing your talk comments with ~~~~ but never forget that one of our central tenets is to ignore all rules.

If you want to learn more, Wikipedia:Tutorial is the place to go, but eventually the following links might also come in handy:

Float around until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the random page button in the navigation bar to the left. Additionally, the Community Portal offers a more structured way to become acquainted with the many great committees and groups that focus on specific tasks. My personal favorite stomping grounds are Wikipedia:Translation into English as well as the cleanup, welcoming, and counter-vandalism committees. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy. If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- Draeco 20:09, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Bridge_jesus.GIF

Please read more carefully before flagging something as a copyright violation. The fair use guidelines say a free copy of a graphic or a picture is preferred to using something off a web site directly. I am the author of the image in question. I released it to the public domain. It is clearly marked on its upload page with appropriate verbiage. It is a free copy of a image from the site mentioned so as (a) not to violate the copyright and (b) comply with fair use guidelines.

Thanks for your concern. I like to be sure Wikipedia endures, too, and not gets scuttled for a silly copyright infringement. — Kghusker 05:14, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Your image substantially represents the same illustration that you copied--you did not create original artwork. --Sixtrojans 16:16, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

• Please see Image:Bridge jesus.GIF page for rebuttal and justification. Cheers! — Kghusker 16:15, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
• Ditto previous. — Kghusker 23:15, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bbrighttempleton.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bbrighttempleton.jpg. The image description 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.

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 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.

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Bigbreak.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bigbreak.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. 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 image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image 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 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Carl (CBM · talk) 17:45, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
