Pointing to the site is not enough. Our guidelines very clearly point out that you must select one of the licensing options on the upload page. Waving vaguely toward the web and saying "go look at the place I got it" is ''not'' selecting a license. Our guidelines ''also'' state that if you cannot find an explicit license, "fair use" is always safe. If you cannot be bothered to take the minimal effort required to tag your future uploads with "fair use", we ''will'' delete the images to protect the wiki from legal liability, and you ''will'' be tempbanned -- starting with two weeks and with increasing duration for each subsequent incident.

This is not negotiable, and trying to play [[Rules Lawyer]] will not somehow magically grant you special privileges extended to no other user. You ''will'' comply with wiki rules on this front, or you won't be allowed to opportunity to comply with ''any'' wiki rules going forward.
