Wikipedia:WikiProject Fair use/Fair use image sorting
As of October 2, 2005, there were 17,758 images and audio clips in :Category:Fair use images. Many of these fall into one of the blanket categories listed at Wikipedia:Fair use#Images and Wikipedia:Fair use#Audio_clips, and should be re-tagged with a more specific fair use image tag. Many of the ones that do not fit into any of these blanket categories may be copyright violations. Re-tagging the images that fall into a blanket category will make it easier to deal with the copyright violations.
Some considerations
- A list of images that appear to be easy hits appear at the bottom of the page. These images have been pre-screened, so there shouldn't be too many false matches. Open the "edit" link next to the name of the and re-tag it. After saving, ensure the tag matches the type of image. Cross off or remove the image from the list after re-tagging so that others don't have to unnecessarily re-do work.
- A list of "fair use" image tags can be found at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. You may want to familiarize yourself with the other tags on the page as well, because a few images are tagged as "fair use" when they are really free.
- Unused "fair use" images can be speedy deleted if they have been on the site for seven days or more. These images can be tagged as
{{db|CSD I5: Unused fair use}} or something similar. - "Fair use" images with no source information should be tagged with {{tl|nosource}}, and the uploader notified.
- If you want, you can use an edit summary of "
Sort fair use image. You can help! " to draw the attention of others to this page.
