Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the User:Dundurn article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material.

"Other people do it too" is not a good excuse for doing something immoral and illegal. At times material can be "fair use" and if a good fair use rationale is given this material will be kept on Wikipedia. One major requirement for something to be fair use is that it's used in an article about the subject. Your userpage isn't an article. It's supposed to help others to get to know you and your work as a Wikipedian, it's not supposed to be an advertisement for outside services. It's also not supposed to contain fair use material. Please read up on copyright. Mak (talk) 17:46, 30 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Oak Island Obsession.jpg)

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Oak Island Obsession.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Kevin_b_er 00:10, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
