Hi? can you read me?

Yes! Every time you write something, it helps if you sign it with four tildes (~~~~). That places your name and the time and date, so people know who wrote what and when. Welcome! - CobaltBlueTony 21:17, 30 March 2006 (UTC) (like that!)

Hello? Simonlebon 21:49, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello. This isn't a chat page; it's much more like a bulletin board, and I only know you've left me a message if I check back. But if you respond to me on MY talk page, then I see a notice at the top of wikipedia as soon as it is saved. - CobaltBlueTony 22:05, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userpage

I dropped the material from the article Simonlebon on your userpage. The article wasn't really appropriate for Wikipedia, but it's fine for your personal page here. Joyous | Talk 02:33, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, thanks!!!

[edit] License tagging for Image:Quatro.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Quatro.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 is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 18:07, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Pan_American_World_Airways.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:FoxFire.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:FoxFire.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Regarding edits made to Valérie Allain

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Simonlebon! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule \burbandictionary\.com\/, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links policy for more information. If the link was to an image, please read Wikipedia's image tutorial on how to use a more appropriate method to insert the image into an article. If your link was intended to promote a site you own, are affiliated with, or will make money from inclusion in Wikipedia, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 15:03, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Quatro.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Quatro.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell (talk) (random) 19:45, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use disputed for Image:Illuminator.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Illuminator.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:15, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Dw5600e-1v_xlarge.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information.
