[edit] Yu-Gi-Oh! names

You said "I'm curious, why are the Japanese names put before the English names? Although the Japanese names came first, the English audience is accustomed to the English names in which this is an English Wikipedia. This leads me to believe that this Wiki was created and maintained by a group of idealistic traditionalists who reject the English naming conventions as this is the first anime I've come across that is still heavily publicized to not put the English names before the Japanese names.

My answer: Those are the English manga names. VIZ Media publishes Yu-Gi-Oh! manga with the original Japanese names. WhisperToMe 14:23, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Novela_ZDCM.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Novela_ZDCM.jpg. 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? Rettetast (talk) 13:21, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
