If you haven't done so already, please read Wikipedia:Spam. Though they certainly don't seem malicious, some of your edits regarding music loops etc. look too close to being advertising and promotion. Generally, it is good form to refrain from inserting links to commercial sites you are associated with and carefully think it out before inserting links to non-commercial sites. Other than that, keep up the good work! Aapo Laitinen 14:54, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

I have tried to keep any promotional activity to a minimum, and only when and where relevant. I have also made a couple of pages and added to many in strictly informational ways, and still enjoy checking out the Wikipedia site occasionally, hopefully it will live on and get better in the years to come. Thanks to all my fellow Wikipedians :) (The 27th letter 22:59, 12 March 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ACID_Pro_5.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:ACID_Pro_5.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. MER-C 12:31, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Fizmo.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Fizmo.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media 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 media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media 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 media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media 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 description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell (talk) (random) 15:28, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
