Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Corporate Website. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion.

See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia.

[edit] License tagging for Image:GeniBeta.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:GeniBeta.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 00:08, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image tagging for Image:Genipage.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Genipage.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Niman ranch logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Niman ranch logo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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.

[edit] Recent name discussion

You were supposed to be told before the discussion started, not sure what happened there, but there was a discussion about your name and it was found to be just fine. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 14:04, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Wikidemo. While there had been some discussion here about whether your username met Wikipedia policy on what usernames editors can use, the result was to allow it, and that discussion has now been closed. If you would like to see what concerns were raised, you can still find that discussion in the archive. You do not need to change your username. However, if you ever wish to do so, it is possible for you to keep your present contributions history under a new name: simply request a new name here following the guidelines on that page, rather than creating a whole new account. Thank you. -- HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 14:04, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your Mediation Cabal case

Good Evening (GMT time); I have accepted your Mediation Cabal case - requested by Wikidemo - on behalf of the Mediation Cabal. I am prepared to commence mediation as soon as possible. I would like to start by enquiring if you wish for mediation to be conducted at the Mediation Cabal subpage, or on the article talk page.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to Contact Me; I will try to answer all your questions as fully as possible in so far as it does not compromise my neutrality.

Kind regards,

Wikidemo, looks like the case has been resolved Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2007-03-01_TechCrunch. Anthony cfc and I have restored and edited the TechCrunch article. And of course, I blogged about the process.  :) Thanks very much for inviting me into this mediation, it was a neat learning experience. Best regards, Jonathan Stokes 01:20, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Wikidemo, thanks for reverting Swdavis67. It appears this user's entire contribution to Wikipedia is to revert TechCrunch#criticism, so I am skeptical of offering this user another mediation... I notified this admin just to have an admin in the loop in case Swdavis67 reverts again. I guess we watch and wait. Jonathan Stokes 20:24, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Wikidemo, looks like we're still fighting the good fight! As far as I can tell, my attempts to contact administrators have been ignored or deleted. If nothing happens by tomorrow, I will simply post this issue in the community portal for everyone to see. It is possible I don't know the appropriate protocol for contacting an administrator, and that is why this is being ignored. Thanks for being my comrad in arms! Jonathan Stokes 05:59, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
...Trying to explain the swdavis67 issue on the community portal and meeting some skepticism... Can you corroborate my story? Would be great to put this behind us. Thanks! Jonathan Stokes 17:15, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mediating cases for MedCabal

Hi I saw your comments on Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2007-03-01 Cave Clan. You don't have to be a member of MedCabal in order to mediate a case; in fact MedCabal has no official members. If you are interested in that case I encourage you to mediate it. We always have more work than we can handle and could use your help. --Ideogram 00:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
