[edit] Sports Addicted

I didn't wait for your comments before i deleted; apologies, but alexa has never heard of you, you admit yourself that you only have 204 members, and clearly do not meet notability standards for wikipedia. We frown strongly upon using wikipedia as a vehicle for advertising; please keep this in mind. happy editing. --He:ah? 18:43, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 'Fair use'

Sorry, I'm afraid I removed an iamge from your userpage. The image was copyrighted, and tagged as 'fair-use' that means we can use it in certain articles, but according to our copyright policies not in userapace or template space. Please see WP:FUC for full details. --Doc ask? 22:21, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Poke rap 1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Poke rap 1.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:040306 duke vmed 9p.widec.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that your image can be used under a fair use license.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Ncaa basketball c.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Ncaa basketball c.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images 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. —Bkell (talk) 07:29, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Die Hard Baseball

A tag has been placed on Die Hard Baseball, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable (see the guidelines for notability here). If you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, articles #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Please review Wikipedia:Notability (web). Fan-1967 15:59, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please do the following:

  1. Place {{hangon}} on the page. Please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag(s).
  2. Make your case on the article's talk page.

Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. Fan-1967 16:12, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Seattle Seahawks logos and uniforms

A tag has been placed on Seattle Seahawks logos and uniforms requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] 2007-08 Connecticut Huskies men's basketball team

Since you created this page, I wanted to let you know that I'm moving it that title. The naming conventions (or at least how the other articles have been named previously) use a dash (-) in the year while the one you created used an ndash (–) (I think). It's not a big deal, but it messes up the infobox if other articles are created. I just wanted to let you know. Phydend (talk) 03:47, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
