== Uploading images ==

I would like to upload an image that I believe is covered under fair use.  As I understand it, I am supposed to upload it, write up a case describing why I think it is covered under fair use, and post the case and image to the fair use page.

However, I cannot upload a file unless "I affirm that the copyright holder of this file agrees to license it under the terms of the Wikipedia copyright."

Am I missing something here? -[[User:Rwv37|Rwv37]] 00:52, Apr 25, 2004 (UTC)

::If you want to upload a [[fair use]] image, you need to lie when you check the box, and then explain on the [[wikipedia:image description page|image description page]] that it is fair use. This will change with the [http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload new version] though, where you can specify the source on the upload form rather than having to falsely tick the box.
