[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Athousandtrees.jpg)

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

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:14, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Confounding fandom with encyclopedic content

Hi, and welcome to Wiki. I notice you are making changes in the music area, such as adding track lists. Since that material can be verified pretty easily, it's just exactly the sort of thing that Wiki wants and needs. In other articles, it's equally important to stick with statements that are cited, or which it's unlikely anyone will disagree with (the sun rises in the east, water can be solid or liquid, television is available in all major industrialized countries). However, just because something is true, doesn't mean it's appropriate for an article (think "Encyclopedia Britannica"). Sometimes, when editors are just dying to add a reference to their favorite group or show, it's so hard to work into the article that they put it in a Trivia section. As you've seen, Trivia sections are discouraged. There are a lot of reasons for this, one is that in some cases there's no limit to the number of trivial comments that could be added. (Imagine, for example, a Trivia section in the article Profanity!) Also, original research is more than discouraged, it's deleted. It takes awhile to get acquainted with the process, but many, many Wiki editors will be glad to discuss this with you, and I see Commander Keane has already offered.

Hope to see your other contributions!
