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

Thanks for uploading Image:Lasso 100x100.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages (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 Misplaced Pages 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)

Fair use rationale for Image:Rlbug_300x300.gif

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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages 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)

RE: Redlasso

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 Misplaced Pages! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me! Icestorm815 (talk) 18:11, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

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 Misplaced Pages 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)

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

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 Misplaced Pages: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 Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages 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)
