[edit] Re: N00BB00B00

The following is the rely I left on the article's talk page, just in case you didn't see it:

Hi, the article is being proposed for deletion because it is a neologism and has no sources that show that the term has gained either widespread use or a degree of notability. Take a look at the policies and guidelines I've linked to to get an idea of Wikipedia's requirements in these areas.
The proposed deletion is an opportunity for you to discuss the merits of the article with fellow editors and for us together to reach a consenus on whether to delete the article. You should read the instructions for joing the debate that you'll find here then feel free to add your comments to the discussion here.
As a side note, you should sign your contributions to talk pages like this on. Its easy to do: just type ~~~~ at the end of your comment. Good luck, Gwernol 10:57, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your comment on the AfD discussion

You wrote:

Gwernol i find it highly offensive that you are removing this phrase that I spent time correcting. What do I have to do to keep it on? Just because you havent heard of it doesnt mean it doesnt exist, what is the prod? that was supposdly removed? Im fairly aggitated after this.

In reply, I'm sorry that you are offended, but please understand that we are building an Encyclopedia here. This means we have certain policies and guidelines that are used to determine what articles are suitable for inclusion on Wikipedia. There is a standard process by which the community is invited to discuss whether an article should be included or not. What you are seeing is the start of that process. You are free to joi in that process and influence the debate. It is far from a foregone conclusion that your article will be deleted. This is a genuine debate and you are welcom to express your view in it.
The "Prod" I referred to was the Proposed Deletion notice that you removed without comment. This is your right, but since you simply removed the notice and didn't attempt to address the issues it raised, I decided to ask the wider community to comment. Good luck, Gwernol 11:05, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:N00bb00b00.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:N00bb00b00.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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:
