[edit] Requesting deletes

Hi LongIslander! Thanks for your message. To request deletion of an article you made in error, you can put this code at the top of the page in question:

{{db-author}}

When you save the page, you'll get a nice pink box which connects the page to the administration category for speedy deletions.

This applies only to article you have created and you have been the only one to edit substantively. Hope this helps! ➨ ЯEDVERS 19:02, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Keyless Go

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Keyless Go, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. tommylommykins 16:21, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Themoorings.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Themoorings.jpg. 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 Wikipedia articles 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

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 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.BetacommandBot 03:00, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
