Revision as of 19:04, 20 February 2008


PLEASE DIRECT ALL QUESTIONS ABOUT IMAGES TO THE IMAGE COPYRIGHT HELP DESK.
If you are here to register a complaint regarding this bot's edits, before doing so please note:
  1. Questions and complaints can be directed to the Image Copyright Help Desk where a team of volunteers will endeavor to offer useful advice in a convivial atmosphere. If you are using this service, remember that help desk volunteers are not responsible for BetacommandBot and do not decide which images get tagged. Please try and remain calm when using the help desk.
  2. There is a very clear policy regarding the use of images that are not released under free content licenses. This policy is located at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content criteria. Complaints about the policy itself should be directed to the talk page or to the Wikimedia Foundation; this bot merely enforces it.
  3. Read this talk page and its archives before registering your complaint. It is likely someone has already registered a similar complaint, and that complaint will have been given an answer.
  4. Read the policy
  5. Check and make sure the image has a valid source
  6. Make sure that the image has a valid Fair use Rationale (A guide can be found here)
  7. I will not add rationales for you as the uploader it is your responsibility NOT mine.
  8. I do not want to see images deleted
  9. All images must comply with policy
  10. A generic template tag is NOT a valid fair use rationale.
  11. If you're here to whine and complain that But <place image name here> is just like my image and isn't tagged for deletion I will tag that image too, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
  12. There is a very clear policy regarding having fair use rationales on fair use images. This policy is located at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content criteria point #10(c). Rationales must be provided for each use of an image. Also please see Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline.
  13. We do not permit fair use, copyrighted images to exist on Misplaced Pages if rationales for that image's use are not provided. Please see Misplaced Pages:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images and media #6. Also please see the Wikimedia Foundation's resolution on this matter at Resolution:Licensing policy point #4.
  14. For quite some time, we have attempted to encourage people to provide rationales. The results of this effort have been dismal at best.
  15. The creator of this bot has come under fire for performing this work manually. One of the main complaints is that the effort to tag images could just as readily be spent providing rationales. This is not the case; the uploader and/or user of each fair use image is the person who should provide the rationale. A non-involved editor can not know under what principles the user of an image intended such use as fair use.
  16. The use of fair use, copyrighted images on the Wikimedia servers is covered by United States law. Our policies with respect to this bot's actions are based on that law. Please see Fair use#Purpose and character.
  17. Bug reports are very welcome; tagging images as this bot is doing per policy is not a bug.

Where have the open discussions gone?

Where have the open discussions gone? (They don't appear to have been placed in the archives.) Pdfpdf (talk) 09:28, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh. For some reason, they've been move here: User talk:Betacommand. (I wonder why?) Pdfpdf (talk) 09:33, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

More than likely, it's easier to keep discussion in one place. SQL 17:46, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Error

Hi, your bot is tagging numerous talk pages, which are not about religion, with {{WPReligion}}. Some examples: Matthias Küntzel, Simon Wiesenthal Center, Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service. I know I've told you this before, but please be more careful when operating your bot. I'm not willing to revert all of your errors this time.--Carabinieri (talk) 18:45, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

it was tagged because it was in Category:Antisemitism per WP:BOTREQ#Bot tagging request β 18:49, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Antisemitism is usually not related to religion, therefore that tagging was wrong.--Carabinieri (talk) 18:53, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
I am astonished. You were told by 2 editors that your bot was tagging pages it shouldn't, yet you continued to run it at 18:52 UTC. Don't you get that not all articles in the categories you're tagging deserve to be tagged?--Carabinieri (talk) 19:04, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Need to follow up on what you are tagging

Today you made this edit . This areticle has nothing whatsoever to do with religion. In fact it is about the long running British sci-fi show. How many other articles will wind up with this tag is unknown but if a human does not followup on these many articles will have been tagged needlessly. MarnetteD | Talk 18:47, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

then your article shouldnt be in Category:Reincarnation β 18:50, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
It isn't my article it is wikipedia's article. Your bot is needlessly tagging many articles based solely on the categories they are in. The category may be correct that does not automatically put it within the scope of a given project and your currect program does not allow for this fact. MarnetteD | Talk 18:57, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Another odd tag
