Forum:Fair use

Putting aside the fact that the images are untagged is alright, but there's something I still half to note about images here. If we put aside the information and just say that all megaman images are here under Fair use because that's the subject we are documenting, that's ok. But there's one thing. While that is ok for all the copyrighted images being used in articles there's an issue with it elsewhere. Fair use laws allow us to upload megaman related images and use them to help document on the subject in the Main article namespace. But they don't allow us to use the images in the other namespaces for other reasons. Meaning that while it's fair use to put an image in the article namespace for an article about something in the image, it's not fair use for someone to put those images on their userpage. I'm not saying you can't use images on your userpage, I'm saying you can't use fair use images on your userpage.

That noted, the following pages have fair use images on them:
 * User:Quick
 * User:RingManX

Sorry I half to note this, but I thought I'd note it instead of just removing the fair use violations from other user's userpages. ~Dantman(talk) Apr 8, 2007 @ 20:12 (UTC)
