Read the policy
Check and make sure the image has a valid source
Make sure that the image has a valid Fair use Rationale (A guide can be found here)
I will not add rationales for you as the uploader it is your responsibility NOT mine.
I do not want to see images deleted
All images must comply with policy
A generic template tag is NOT a valid fair use rationale.
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.
For quite some time, we have attempted to encourage people to provide rationales. The results of this effort have been dismal at best.
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.
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.
Bug reports are very welcome; tagging images as this bot is doing per policy is not a bug.
Orphaned non-free media (Image:Iapt.gif)
I am in the process of updating the article which will use this image. This is why it is orphaned. If the bot (and its user) will be patient, then the image soon will not be orphaned. Please see my sandbox. --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:56, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How do I get this bot to respect the nobots template on my talkpage? Skomorokhincite 21:40, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
you had recently changed the status of the image. It was still listed as FU for the bot. βcommand 01:05, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That was some hours ago. You're saying the bot doesn't read the current version of the page before tagging? I realize this saves a ton of page loads, but shouldn't it check the current page status? Gimmetrow 01:08, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
it gets a list of pages from {{non-free media}} and then works off that, due to the length of that list, ~305,000 so working thought that does take some time, along with the fact that non-free media is not trancluded directly makes it harder to track. βcommand 01:18, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
