[edit] Copyright violation

I have removed the section "Joe's narrative", which looks like it was copied word for word from http://www.myspace.com/joepurdy. Copying such material from web sites is not allowed under Wikipedia policy, and Wikipedia's goal is not to be an archive of such material.

I also removed several external links that are of a purely commercial nature as per Wikipedia guidelines. Wikipedia does not exist to assist commercial endeavors. Dsreyn 23:41, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:PurdyCom.gif

Image:PurdyCom.gif is being used on this article. 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 this Wikipedia article 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.

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 there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
