Needs sourcing. Can you add where you got this image to the information on it? Some bot is going to see it has no sourcing info and mark it for deletion. Give the website or whatever where you found it and WHY it's in the PD.. thanks! This is important as it is about to be on the main page! ++Lar: t/c 11:57, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Price of Buffalo Coin

I understand that you perhaps feel you "own" the Buffalo Coin article since you wrote it, but the price is NOT based on the spot price of gold and a small premium. The mint has announed a fixed price of $800. Spot on gold is under $600. -- Cecropia 18:07, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fotolia

A tag has been placed on Fotolia, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Realkyhick 06:04, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

You have recently recreated or reposted material at Fotolia which previously was deleted in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policies. Please do not recreate this article without prior approval from an administrator or you may be blocked from editing. We ask that you respect what Wikipedia is not. If you disagree with the article's deletion, you may seek an independent deletion review. JuJube 13:14, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
- Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from articles that you have created yourself. If you continue to remove them, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. JuJube 13:14, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good faith editing ... or spam?

I have been taking you on good faith when you wrote that you recreated the Fotolia article because you were surprised Wikipedia lacked an article on this company. Then I saw that you added a referral code to the URL for the company's web site:^[1]
