RFA oddity?

Hey, what happened here? SQL^{(Query Me!)} 10:27, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

It looks like I accidentally pressed Ctrl+V a couple times...oops. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 18:22, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Hah! Crazy, thanks! :) SQL^{(Query Me!)} 19:31, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Updating the historical template

Hi, seeing that you are the user that most recently made edits to the historical template On my sub-page (User:Cocoaguy/historical alt) i created a version using the ambox template, maby we could update the main one too. -- (Cocoaguy ここがいい _contribs^talk) 22:17, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm afraid that ambox is only for templates in the article namespace. There is not currently consensus to use it in any other namespace, so using it for {{historical}} is out for now. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 22:33, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Mac listbox screenshot.png

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Mac listbox screenshot.png. I noticed 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 even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Liftarn 14:10, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Fabolon blaise haitian country scene.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Fabolon blaise haitian country scene.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 08:39, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Comment on RFA

Copied from your RFA.

I have never supported that argument. Using a non-free image when a better free image could be created is not acceptable. It diminishes portability for no good reason. And I've seen many articles copied from the Encyclopedia Britannica, and that's fine. We should use them until we have something better. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 16:08, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

I am sure you misspoke there. Articles copied from Britannica would be copyright violations. You may want to rephrase and/or strike some of that. I think others should give you time to do so before responding, since it seems like just a slip of the tongue. — Carl (CBM · talk) 16:58, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Instan-t logo.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Instan-t logo.png. 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 13:55, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Your RFA was unsuccessful

I have closed your RFA. I am afraid there was no consensus to promote you. Please address the concerns that were raised, and feel free to reapply in the future. Good luck. --Deskana (talk) 23:16, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
