[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Smu logo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Smu logo.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 05:45, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

The issue was addressed. As a note for whomever reads this (if anyone does), I should state that the only involvement I have in these images is that I uploaded PNG versions of them, or added transparency, and so am the last uploader. It's not very fair that I have to provide rationales for these images, since I did not place them on Wikipedia myself and often have to guess or discover where they came from, but it's a task I am willing to do.

[edit] Flag icons

Please do not add flag icons for country of birth or death in biographical articles, as you did to Lúcia Santos‎. Wikipedia policy does not allow use of flag icons for that purpose. Thank you. Ward3001 (talk) 01:29, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:StephensandAgnes.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:StephensandAgnes.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 19:44, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Since it looks like someone uploaded an "official" version, let it be deleted. Alekjds talk 20:36, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes. Let it be deleted, there's a superior version out there. Alekjds talk 20:36, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:1180-71-8.gif

A tag has been placed on Image:1180-71-8.gif requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Hennessey, Patrick (talk) 22:35, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Cool. Alekjds talk 19:21, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Template:Alekjds/timeline graphical timeline

A tag has been placed on Template:Alekjds/timeline graphical timeline requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 04:20, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Carl de Boor article

Hi Alekjds--

My name is Tom de Boor, son of Carl de Boor. While we were not responsible for creating the Carl de Boor article (presumably that happened when he won the National Medal of Science), my family and I (as opposed to Carl de Boor himself) have been responsible for much of the content of his article ever since we stumbled across it a little more than a year ago. I would like to know from you what items in addition to the reference to creme caramel (my siblings wrote most of the "personal" section) would need to be reconsidered before the article could be upgraded from Start to B Class. I can be reached at tomdb2- a t -aol.com. Thanks in advance for your thoughts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.30.201.95 (talk) 21:06, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Mr. de Boor, I will reach you via the email provided. Actually, upon consideration, I will reply on your talk page, so the details of our conversation can be of benefit to everyone. Alekjds talk 00:05, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:AKAshield2.png

Thanks for uploading Image:AKAshield2.png. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

The goal of WikiProject Christianity is to improve the quality and quantity of information about Christianity available on Wikipedia. WP:X as a group does not prefer any particular tradition or denominination of Christianity, but prefers that all Christian traditions are fairly and accurately represented.

You are receiving this invitation because you are a member of one of the related Christianity Projects and I thought that you might be interested in this project also - Tinucherian (talk) 04:20, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Letter_N-1-.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Letter_N-1-.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? — pd_THOR | =/\= | 20:49, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
