:Have you thought about working with some of the editors that use [[WP:FURME]], Some are [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/User:Powergate92/Userboxes/FurMe listed here]. They may be willing to simply fix the fair use rationales that need fixing. Perhaps you could post a note at [[Wikipedia talk:FurMe]] and ask for help fixing the problematic fair use rationales. Just a thought. I don't work in this area, so I'm not familiar with all the related issues.

::As long as [[WP:NFCC]] is policy and [[WP:NFCCE]] is part of it, the burden to provide a rationale is upon the people who want to use the non-free content. Anyway, since I publicly announced this task and the tagged files will be added to a maintenance category and stay there for at least 7 days, anybody is free to provide a rationale. Also note that I will ''not'' touch files (at least while performing this task) where there is a rationale which may simply be bad. -- [[User:Toshio Yamaguchi|'''<span style="color:black;">Toshio</span>''']] [[User talk:Toshio Yamaguchi|'''<span style="color:black;">Yamaguchi</span>''']] 08:15, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
:::We certainly need to limit our fair use images and the ones we have absolutely must comply with NFCC. You have policy on your side, but sometimes these things can be complicated. A few people that have worked in this area have seen some resistance from the community. And a few have been raked over the coals because of their work in this area. What I'm trying to say is that you might not get much feedback now, but after the images start disappearing, you might get some upset people complaining. It's best to be aware that this might happen so you can be prepared for it. Taking some precautions now may help you later. Sometimes the community can be rather harsh in its response. Best regards.
