Thanks to the destructive response of User:Garion96 to my efforts, I will not be making any further contributions to wikipedia. ReeseM (talk) 12:15, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Fair use

All that because I tagged one image as replaceable non-free content? Which, as a matter of fact was extremely easy to replace since Wikipedia already had a non-free content image of him. See Image:Gerg Norman visit USS John F Kennedy.jpg, which I used in the article. For the rest, if you object to our non-free content criteria please state your opinion at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content to change the policy. I don't think you will have much success, but then again, you never know. I do hope you change your mind and won't leave Wikipedia. Garion96 (talk) 14:30, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

He is a golfer, so that image is both inappropriate and U.S. centric. Wikipedia should be about creating good content, not about ticking boxes. The policy stinks, but Wikipedia is now set in its bad ways, and your comment shows that people who agree with the policies are all too happy to see it retain its flaws. Policies are kept because of inertia, not because they are right. I won't be coming back. ReeseM (talk) 03:17, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

First you say that I should get a free image of him, I found one, added it to the article and now you think it is US-centric and the fair use still should be kept. Please remember that Wikipedia is a free content encyclopedia, therefore we limit fair use images. Which is also agreed (even enforced) by the WikiMedia foundation. It is your choice about leaving, but as said before, I hope you reconsider. Garion96 (talk) 23:41, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Bernhard_Langer_Autobiography_2002.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Bernhard_Langer_Autobiography_2002.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media 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 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 the fair use 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 fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use 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, fair use media 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. howcheng {chat} 22:45, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Bernhard Langer Autobiography 2002.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Bernhard Langer Autobiography 2002.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. BJBot (talk) 05:34, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
