[edit] Sardinia links

There has been much discussion concerning these links and you may join the discussion here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Bcnviajero#Link_spam

Thank you for your comments on the above mentioned talk page. I do find it a little disapointing that it seems you did not read any of the above comments written by myself or the other two users on the subject matter as if you had you may of responded directly to some of the comments made. I also noticed from you edit history that you seem to have not even looked at the links in question but merely deleted them without noting the content of the websites in question. I have also noted that you have included in Wikipedia one of your own personal websites on the model boats page. Reading the Wikipedia guidlines you will see that this is NOT recommend. I thank you for your time and will check back here for your further comments.

Thanks for your comments. I did, in fact, follow the links before deleting them - I found they were the typical travel links that appear in many of these type of articles, and really add nothing to them. As for my hobby site, it is a non profit page that displays the work of 100's of non commercial ship modelers (almost 50 gallery pages at this point), and includes step by step instructions on how to research, build and operate radio control ship models, without trying to sell anything (There are 5 banners on the site that support the actual costs involved, 1 on the message board and 4 others on various pages, the vast majority of the site is ad free). I clearly identify on my user page that it is a site that I edit, having made no attempt at all to obscure that fact. I invite you to have a look at the site and make up your own mind - maybe you will find a fun new hobby! Seaphoto 14:57, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Please excuse my delay in responding to your remarks. Firstly I would like to ask you what you think a travel related link should cover? Pages of information on the destination? This is what the pages that you deleted cover and as mentioned on the talk page are information about Sardinia that is non profit based and runs adwords as many websites to cover costs. There are no online booking features or online costs of any kind, infact all content and information is completely free to the user. I am very confused as to what you believe should and should not be included as an external link. As to your own website I have had a look and It is is definetley what it claims to be a website about model ships, and a good one at that but if we were to follow your own policy concerning external links would not be included in any wikipedia articles as it both sells books, posters and runs commercial banners e.t.c. This would not be my own opinion but none the less if you were to follow the no commercial site to the word and the don't add your own websites guidlines then it would not be included. It is worth remembering that Wikipedia guidlines are just that, Guidlines! I will chack back for any response--84.223.29.119 23:04, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I erred on putting my own website up, and will not contest or revert if someone takes it off the links. I thought it would be useful for those wishing to learn about building model ships, but would understand its removal.
I deleted it myself in the end. Seaphoto 18:21, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

As far as travel links, I am not sure what they add to an article about a country, and can proliferate into dozens of sites very quickly if not aggresively removed - look at the page history of any popular tourist designation to see many examples. I agree that those in question are among the most benign that I have seen, and certainly are not a clear cut case. For my part, I made the one change and left the situation alone after it was reverted, as I don't feel strongly about it. Seaphoto 23:33, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Enemybelowposter.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. Eachwiped 04:58, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Jared Fogle

Thanks for the note you left me. I am sorry that I reverted to edits that were not acceptable. Even though I was aware of WP:BLP I thought that it only applied to article mainspace. I have read through the entire page now though and I see that that is not the case. I have done some dumb things on here before but reverting those edits on the Jared Fogle talk page is by far the dumbest and I should probably hang my head in wikishame. I have now read through the entire BLP page though so I am smarter than I was and I promise that I won’t screw up like that again. So, again, I apologize. Thanks for straightening me out.
