[edit] November 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Drink driving (United Kingdom), is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. This is especially important when dealing with biographies of living people, but applies to all Wikipedia articles. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Thank you. These edits appear to be original research to me. —Jonathan | Quality, not quantity. 14:55, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong illustration

The image

that you added to History of writing ancient numbers does not illustrate ancient numbers. Please use a different image that illustrates either cuneiform numbers or archaic (pre-cuneiform) numbers. Greensburger (talk) 22:28, 27 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:SheilaWhite.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:SheilaWhite.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 (talk) 17:11, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your message on my user page. I did not want to upset you in any way. I am not sure that YouTube is classified as a suitable source. Check WP:Sources. SuzanneKn (talk) 16:52, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Palmisano2ndLife.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Palmisano2ndLife.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 15:42, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
