[edit] License tagging for Image:RodolfoMorales.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:RodolfoMorales.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands 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.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:RodolfoMoralesAngeldeAnoranza.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:RodolfoMoralesAngeldeAnoranza.jpg. 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.

GA Review
Dear Robertlondon, I am sorry to inform you that I have failed Faile (artist collective) for GA status because of several issues, which are detailed on the article's talk page. If there are any comments you would like to make, or any questions you have about the failing of this article, then please forward them to my talk page. Good luck for a future candidacy. Regards,
-- Anonymous DissidentTalk 08:28, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi again. Firstly, about the email - there is not much to be done. Unless you can find independant, verifiable sources, that content remains unreferenced. Secondly, I would start a post on either the users talk page, or the articles talk page discussing the external link. See what he thinks and what others say. Take it from there. I hope I have been able to help a bit. -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 17:08, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Basically next time he adds a spam link he gets a final warning template. You've been very patient with him , but he 's totally ignored your warnings 3tmx 22:30, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re: The Restaurant (UK television series)
Hi there, thanks for your comment. Whilst it's not my intention to upset the regular editors of the article, such as yourself, the changes I implemented were needed for clarity, functionality and to replace the large amounts of original research present in the article as it was. As for the table, I'd contest your view that it is isn't an improvement - combined with the episode guide this is far more through synopsis of the series than was previously in place. I agree it was probably naive of me to hope that other editors would help fill in the contestant profiles, but this is a wiki after all. You only need to look at articles such as The Apprentice (UK Series Three), which I recently played a major part in bringing up to GA standard, to see that these changes are for the better. If it turns out that there is consensus to revert to the older version then feel free to do so. Seaserpent85 15:11, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
- Hi again! I think there's a bit of a misunderstanding here - from what I saw the article had only just passed the stub stage, with certain sections needing some definite attention. The article as it was before had nowhere to include information about the contestants, therefore I added sections which are free to be expanded, unlike the previous table - I think this is quite a logical step forward, however I do agree I should have checked that I wasn't removing information as I did this. That aside, I'm getting the impression that the newer table is the main concern here - if it bothers you that much I don't mind you getting rid of it. Personally, I feel it provides the reader with a breakdown of the series - showing how often couples are in challenges or get restaurant of the week. But in the scale of things, this is a very minor part of the article, there are sections I could probably put time into improving - for example, moving most of the lead into a Format section and an inclusion of a Reception section. There's no need for you to apologise, I understand it's frustrating when your hard work gets rewritten - I'd probably have reacted in a similar way! Hope that clears it up a bit, look forward to maybe one day seeing the article at GA status :) Seaserpent85 10:51, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:RodolfoMorales.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:RodolfoMorales.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. Rettetast (talk) 16:52, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
