[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Logo goodguys.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Logo goodguys.gif. 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

[edit] Suggest you start a new article The Good Guys (Australia)

The Australian chain is completely unrelated to the subject of this article.

Anyone who wants to write about the Australian stores is COMPLETELY welcome to create a new article entitled The Good Guys (Australia) (click this link to get started).

Even if you would rather the Australian chain have the main name without the parentheis, the best thing to do is show that you can produce an appropriate article that belongs on Wikipedia in the first place, and after the new article has been on Wikipedia for a month or so you can ask for a consensus decision about the names. When the Wikipedia community has had a chance to discuss the names then a decision will be made.

But you are going to have a lot of trouble just building an article that the Wikipedia community will want to keep, as your edits have been unencyclopedic thus far, and more like an advertisement. And you need proof (references from reliable sources) that the Australian chain meets the Wikipedia definition of notability (it's not the same as the plain, everyday dictionary meaning of "notability).

When you write about the Australian stores in the NEW article, you MUST NOT include copyrighted information. Also you must cite reliable sources and prove that the Australian stores are notable. Everything you contribute in the new article will be subject to editing review and the consensus decisions of the Wikipedia community, so don't be sloppy and do your research well.

But whatever you do, make sure you do it in a NEW ARTICLE.

[edit] Wikipedia Policy on Usernames

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:

Let me reassure you that my writing here means I don't think your username is grossly, blatantly, or obviously inappropriate; such names get reported straight to Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention or blocked on sight. This is more a case where opinions might differ, and it would be good to reach some consensus — either here or at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you.

The concern about your Username is that it reflects the name of a corporate commercial entity and you appear to be acting on behalf of that commercial entity in your activities on Wikipedia. All of your edits have been geared towards advertising and promotion for the Australian Good Guys chain of stores, which is a strong suggestion of a CONFLICT OF INTEREST.OfficeGirl 15:46, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Logo goodguys.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Logo goodguys.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 06:21, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
