I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, please be sure to sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (~~~) for just your name.

[edit] Contesting speedy deletion
When you want to contest the speedy deletion of a page, you don't just remove the {{db}} tag, you put the tag {{hangon}} on the same page, but this must not replace the {{db}} tag. This is explained clearly on the {{db}} tag. I accept now that I was wrong about your article being nonsense. However, please be aare of WIkipedia's copyright policies - merely copying out the text from a book as the basis of an article is a sure-fire way of seeing it deleted speedily. Best wishes and happy editing! --Vox Humana 8' 12:58, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Lamkorwan.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Lamkorwan.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.
