Hello, SMasters, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

[edit] Superbrands

If you feel that the referencing is up to scratch, please feel free to remove the notice when you're ready. I think it looks great! Thanks for the hard work. enochlau (talk) 05:34, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your help! S Masters 10:21, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lillian Too

Another great article! If you can include a list of her books, that would be very useful in the article. Just see how it goes - if it becomes too long, then we can always place it at List of books by Lillian Too, but for the time being, placing it into the article is ok. If you're working on the list piece by piece, you may wish to consider {{Listdev}}. Cheers. enochlau (talk) 09:18, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Lillian Too, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Lillian_too.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Lillian_too.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or ask for help at Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. Thank you. -- Carnildo 05:53, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. I am in the process of writing to the owner for permission. -- S Masters 06:21, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use

You can select "press release photo". Still, as I said, the best would be to ask for permission to redistribute one of her images under a free licence. :D Johnleemk | Talk 15:26, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick reply! OK. Will do that in future. -- S Masters 15:35, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brand Mercatus

Brand Mercatus has been proposed for deletion. Please see the article for details. NickelShoe (Talk) 17:55, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

I have now added references and a bit more copy. Give me some time to add to the article. Thanks. --S Masters 07:24, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
The article talk page is all. There's no centralized deletion discussion for prod, because it's only for uncontroversial deletions. Since you removed the prod notice, the article is no longer up for deletion. If there's disagreement and stuff, the article is sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, which does have a centralized discussion. NickelShoe (Talk) 03:30, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your help. I hope to expand on this article soon. -- S Masters 05:24, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:External links

Just remove it if you don't think it fits with Wikipedia:External links. They are unlikely to add it back again, although if they do, drop a note on their talk page requesting that they stop doing it. Let me know if there are any further problems. Cheers. enochlau (talk) 04:29, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

As always, thanks for your help. -- S Masters 07:49, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Csd logo 96.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Csd logo 96.gif. 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. 05:05, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query On June 9, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Chartered Society of Designers, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 04:45, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Superbrands cat

The article itself is not a list of books, so the Category:Lists of books doesn't apply. might apply, though, since the article does mention books that Superbrands publishes. Feel free to revert anything you disagree with - I'm not adamant on the changes. Cheers, ♥ Her Pegship♥ 16:12, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Editing a person's name

Just revert the anonymous user citing WP:VERIFY. All statements should be able to be backed up by evidence, and this is especially so for biographies. enochlau (talk) 08:04, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks enochlau. S Masters 08:53, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lillian Too

I've semi-protected the article for now. The anonymous users are rather persistent. enochlau (talk) 02:56, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

OK, great work. Thanks for the help. -- S Masters 04:02, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Lilliantoo_dvd.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. Project FMF (talk) 00:07, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Superbrands.jpg

I have tagged Image:Superbrands.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you. Project FMF (talk) 00:08, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
