Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Strand 300 Series Console.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Strand 300 Series Console.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 (talk) 06:36, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use Image:Strand 300 Series Console.jpg

[edit]
Replaceable fair use
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Strand 300 Series Console.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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? BlueAzure (talk) 05:46, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Replaceable fair use Image:Strand 300 Series Console.jpg

[edit]

Understood. The image was provided to us by the marketing department of Strand Lighting, but I do not have anything in writing to substantiate that claim. FWIW, the Strand 300 Series Console is no longer manufactured, so it's just as well the picture has been removed. I will try to obtain a freely licensed image of their most recent product.
