Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:BetteM.gif. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file 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 '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. 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.

Added Fair use rationale. Images are for artist's wiki created at his request Sdazet ( talk) 02:19, 24 February 2010 (UTC) reply

Please provide proof other than your word that the artist released his copyright claim. If he has released this claim to you, then please read WP:COI. Woogee ( talk) 02:21, 24 February 2010 (UTC) reply

Are you sincerely trying to claim that File:MDoret.jpg was published prior to 1923? Woogee ( talk) 02:18, 24 February 2010 (UTC) reply

No. Error on my part. I'm new. It's been tagged for deletion. Sdazet ( talk) 02:48, 24 February 2010 (UTC) reply

Thanks for uploading File:Doret.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media 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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fred the Oyster ( talk) 02:34, 24 February 2010 (UTC) reply

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Michael Doret, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Woogee ( talk) 02:38, 24 February 2010 (UTC) reply

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Doret.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Woogee ( talk) 02:40, 24 February 2010 (UTC) reply

Thank you for your effort at contributing to the Wikipedia, especially if you are a newcomer. The Wikipedia community owes its newcomers a lot, and continues to value this as per policy and per practice.

That said, the article you created at Michael Doret seems to be erroneously placed, as it seems to consist of information you give about yourself. Aimed at being an encyclopedia, Wikipedia's main (article) namespace is not generally the best place for this. In order to preserve the results of your effort for you, and since the article appears to be about you, I have moved it for you to your user space, which is the best location for a user's information about themselves in the first place.

If you really did mean to create an article about yourself, please be aware that this is often considered a bad idea, even if you do meet the guidelines for inclusion of biographies.

I know Wikipedia can be confusing for new editors, so you are welcome to ask for help at the help desk or on my talk page.

As a technical note (and please don't be put off by the grown elaborate nature of some parts of the expression of Wikipedia's rules - as you will soon find out, they're by no means all that technical), as per Wikipedia standards and principles (available from e.g. here), an autobiographic article is usually eligible for deletion without further discussion under criterion A7 in the criteria for speedy deletion as an article about a real person that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject. Colliding with this criterion is considered a common mistake to avoid, but always correctable. Guy ( Help!) 15:27, 24 February 2010 (UTC) reply

You deleted thisarticle because it was autobiographical, which is not the case. I am not the subject and simply trying to contribute to the wiki community. The artist is notable, having creating many iconic images throughout pop culture. I'll be rebuilding it within my user space to improve the format but the it is a valid article with enough sources so I will be moving it back. If there is any insight you can offer it is appreciated. Sdazet ( talk) 18:57, 24 February 2010 (UTC) reply

I did not delete anything, I "userfied" it because it is heavily promotional in tone. I recommend you read WP:5P (a content guideline) and spend some time browsing around other similar articles. Guy ( Help!) 19:19, 24 February 2010 (UTC) reply

Will do. Makes more sense now. I am rebuilding it by guidelines. Thank you Sdazet ( talk) 19:36, 24 February 2010 (UTC) reply

DES ^(talk) 03:37, 26 February 2010 (UTC) reply

Just putting File:MDoret.jpg on Commons with a claim that it wasn't created for commercial use is not a valid fair use claim. Fair use will only apply if Doret is dead. Until such time, anybody can go take a photo of him. Repeatedly violating copyright will get you blocked. Stop, now. Woogee ( talk) 04:51, 26 February 2010 (UTC) reply

Gotcha. I did my fair share or research and thought I had found the correct license for it. Considering that picture was taken by a private individual and not meant for commercial usage, is there a license that would work or is it just not usable? Thanks. - Sdazet ( talk) 07:38, 26 February 2010 (UTC) reply

It's not usable unless the owner of the image gives permission to include it either under a GFDL or Commons license, and posts somewhere that they have done so. Woogee ( talk) 08:06, 26 February 2010 (UTC) reply

Otherwise, the best bet is to get a camera and take a real life picture of him, then release its copyright yourself.  :) Woogee ( talk) 08:17, 26 February 2010 (UTC) reply
