I like the text in Template:Publicity better since it doesn't give the assumption that permission has been given. In any case it should probably redirect here at some point. DopefishJustin (・∀・) 05:57, May 14, 2005 (UTC)
why are these photos only on english wikipedia, why can't they beused in the french one for instance? Fabhcún 15:41, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
I think the text of the template is rather too restrictive, considering that these are promotional images, very much intended to be used by others. Why should there be any requirement for low-resolution use, when a high-res image has been freely given out for the media to use? And while it may be good Wikipedian practice to only uses these images when there is no free alternative, that shouldn't be a legal requirement for fair use here, where the whole intention of the copyright-owner is to get the image out.--Pharos 05:39, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Well, someone should come around and do that. Also, don't just use the headline for you're entire message. - Kookykman|(t)(c)
I am uploading an image for this tag, and Special:Upload's Licensing pulldown doesn't seem to have an applicable selection under Fair Use. — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib Reverts 14:07, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
I was wondering if there was any way to change the wording on the tag so it's clear exactly the license covers and does not cover?
It seems people assume they can use the promo tag as long as the image shows up on a website that has any promotional value, i.e. official event websites, sports team websites etc. The tag is pretty clear about what it is for, but it should say what it isn't for.
The tag needs clarification that the license:
Any idea on how to word it? Ytny 18:32, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Please add interwiki for Serbian language Wikipedia. The link is

Thank you. --Branislav Jovanovic 08:04, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
It could be useful to made the source mandatory in the template, in a { { promotional | source } } usage form, to avoid unsourced promo photos. --Marc Lacoste 14:41, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
{editprotected} Please, add the next interwiki if it is possible: eu:Txantiloi:Propaganda. Thanks. Berria · (talk) 19:50, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
The template should have a place where it can specify which articles it has fair use in such as ((Fair use in)) (see below).
Below is for ((Fair use in | Main Page)).
This work is copyrighted (or assumed to be copyrighted) and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket acceptable non-free content categories listed at Wikipedia:Non-free content § Images or Wikipedia:Non-free content § Audio clips, and it is not covered by a more specific non-free content license listed at Category:Wikipedia non-free file copyright templates. However, it is believed that the use of this work:
- To illustrate the subject in question
- Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information
- On the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,
qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Copyrights.
To the uploader: To patrollers and administrators: If this image has an appropriate rationale please append
- Please add a detailed non-free use rationale for each article the image is used in, which must also declare compliance with the other parts of the non-free content criteria, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

- Template:Non-free use rationale may be helpful for stating the rationale.
- This tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use.

If an image meets Wikipedia promotional requirements, then use of that image is license use rather than fair use. In other words, if an image is released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, then that company or organization gives a license to use that image. The questions that the Wikipedia image uploader using this permissions template still needs to answer is whether that license gives permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the image under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GFDL). If not, then the Wikipedia image uploader should not be allowed to use a promotional template. In view of this, this template is defective. Use of this template implies that a copyright license is given and yet the template still requires the Wikipedia uploader to go into copyright fair use. A license to use an image where that license does not meet the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License is one factor in determining Fair Use. This template needs to be revised to reflect this as it has generate great confusion on Wikipedia.
