[edit] Dukes vs. Wal-Mart

Hi, I just noticed your edit: "a higher, salaried position" -> "a higher salaried position". You have a sharp eye, a valuable skill indeed. However, in this case, I think the comma was correct. It wasn't that she was working for free before, but that low-level Wal-Mart users aren't on a salary system; they get paid by the hour. A salary implies a fixed weekly or monthly wage and is only available when you rise up the corporate ladder. At least that is my understanding. -- Viajero 20:14, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Yes, this makes sense - thanks for the correction. To me, the article read a little oddly, perhaps because here in the UK almost everyone has minimun hours (even short term staff) so "salary" tends to be used synonymously with "wage". WikianJim 20:32, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Dopefish.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Dopefish.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:10, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Tonybenn75.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Tonybenn75.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content 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 this non-free 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 non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content 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, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. One Night In Hackney303 08:31, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Tonybenn75.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Tonybenn75.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. Rettetast (talk) 22:29, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
