No source is given for this image. The first few images listed at a
Papert Google image search look familiar but are not exactly this image. I list it here for broader discussion instead of tagging it with {{no source}} because it was uploaded in September 2005 and because the nominator has not contributed since December 2006.

I have added it back to
Robert J. Sawyer. It is a free image that illustrates the subject of the article. It has been removed twice, once to be replaced with a
Fair Use image and the other time without comment. ~

Comment Please investigate more fully before nominating for deletion. This image is not tagged as fair use. It is, however, orphaned, so I guess deletion is appropriate.

Image is tagged as a promophoto comming from "FX's Press website", but the images in this site are intended by the copyright holder (FX Networks) to be used only by those who obtained "prior written consent" for doing so (otherwise, only "personal, non-commercial purposes" use is allowed). The site
terms of use states:
"All materials contained in this Site (...) must only be used for personal, non-commercial purposes.";
"The reproduction, duplication, distribution (..) of material from this Site is STRICTLY PROHIBITED unless you have obtained the prior written consent of FX";

Keep. Terms of use of copyright holders are irrelevant for fair use images. The image does appear to be in use for promotional purposes on the site linked, so I'd say fair use promotional is correct tagging of this image.
JulesH 19:09, 21 March 2007 (UTC)reply
Terms of use of copyright holders are not irrelevant. Believing that they are is what make {{promotional}} the most abused image tag on Wikipedia. A real "promotional" image is one intended to be used by any media members for identification and critical commentary on some product (like a movie). This image is intended to be used by selected FX Network's clients, according to their approval of it's use. FX Networks may choose to license this image just for this or that website, improving the site's value, according to commercial deals. Our unauthorized use of this image hurts the copyright holder habitability to profit from such deals).
As I said, the copyright holder has a business based on controlling which websites can use these images, and our use of them undermine this business. --Abu badali(

The tag content states only "This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit." The image is from FX Network's press images site. The fact that they charge for the right to duplicate is irrelevant, because we're using the image under fair use laws. Per
Wikipedia:Fair use, the only rules that have to be met are the 10 set out there. No free equivalent is available; the fact that the image is low resolution (and, indeed, a resolution that can be downloaded from FX Network's web site without paying) tends to suggest that the fact the image is available here doesn't undermine their business; the image is low resolution; it has been published; it is encyclopedic; it doesn't violate image use policy; it is in use in an article; it identifies the subject of the article; it isn't used in any namespace other than article and it contains an appropriate attribution to source and copyright holder, a correct tag (the image came from a press kit), and a fair use rationale. This image does not violate policy.

It came from a page titled as the press resources site for FX Networks. What more evidence do you want that it's a promotional image?

http://movies.yahoo.com is not a source for promotional images. According to item #12 in the site's

Keep. Terms of service are irrelevant; this is a fair use image. The image is clearly a promotional image; why else would yahoo have it in their collection of promotional images of Natalie Portman?
JulesH 18:53, 21 March 2007 (UTC)reply
"Terms of service" pages are exactly what determines if an image is promotional. A real promotional image from a starwars movie, for instance, should come from starwars.com or lucasfilm.com with an accompanying "terms of use" statement saying "these images may be used by the media for identification or critical commentary on our movies...".
The fact that yahoo was granted the right to use this image doesn't imply at all that every other website is welcome to do so. --Abu badali(

Apparently incorrect copyright tag -- claims to be a US government work, but no US government source supplied and image uses names established by "Hochemicals", a non-notable British company, which suggests it is unlikely to be a US government work. —

Keep. Image is free, and shows an innovative product that is generating a reasonable amount of interest in the guitar equipment world. We might not currently have an article about this subject, but this may well change in the future, at which point having a freely-licensed copy of the company's official promotional photo will be helpful.

Then use a version that doesn't attach names that are apparently
original research to the variants. Or don't, because as far as I can see the entire table that it's used in is original research.

Keep - Image is on use in 4 pages, and is almost certainly fair use in at least
Havlagah, as it is unreplaceable. I have changed the tag to a more appropriate one.
JulesH 19:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC)reply
The rationale was already there. It says "This is a historic photo made during the Havlagah period (1930s), free replacement is unavalaible". This certainly looks like a fair use rationale to me. And the image appears to be performing a useful function on
Havlagah to me.
JulesH 19:17, 21 March 2007 (UTC)reply
A claim that some image is an historic photo needs to be backed up. Was this image discussed in some published work? Did it received any award?
For an unfree image to be used in some article, it should be doing far more that simply "performing a useful function". --Abu badali(

Playboy cover. Was uploaded to be used to illustrate the article about the model depicted (against

It shows a list of songs downloaded on LimeWire for the purpose of showing a picture of the program. It is illegal to download songs, and I think that this image should be deleted and replaced with a photo that doesn't promote illegal activity. —

I didn't realize that Limewire was GPL'd. Is it available in Linux? If so, this image and the images on Commons should be deleted since they contain non-trivial elements of Windows and Mac OS X and then be replaced with a screenshots in a free-content version of Linux. --
