[edit] Signature transclusion

Hi Deba, I noticed your comment on User talk:Jimbo Wales, and your signature, and I thought that perhaps you were not aware of the signature guideline, which explains that users may not transclude signatures, due to a number of issues with doing this. For instance, if you change the page your signature is on, the database has to update every single page you've signed with the transclusion, which, after a while, gets to be a large amount of pages that need updating, and can cause server issues. I realize you're new, so it isn't a big deal, as you've likely not signed many pages, and they will be easy for you to go fix, but here is the passage explaining it: "Transclusions of templates and parser functions in signatures (like those which appear as {{User:Deba Tihs ´n´ Mad Dog/sig}}, for example) are forbidden." Take a look at the whole page, please, and it will explain how you can make a custom signature, using the "my preferences" link at the top right of your page, and I would request that you remove all signatures you've transcluded before the numbers are too difficult to track down. Please don't take this the wrong way, as I'm sure you were not aware of the issue, and I simply want to help you avoid any problems in the future. Thanks so much, and have a great weekend!

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BBB cover Nightwish.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:BBB cover Nightwish.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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. —♦♦ AMBER^(ЯʘCK) 21:57, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
