[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Otona No DS Kao Training.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Otona No DS Kao Training.jpg. 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.

[edit] Your recent contributions

I came here to comment about this edit: What you did doesn't do what it seems you thought it would. Rather than "add project pages rather than talk pages", your change will only change the sorting of non-mainspace pages. For example, if the template were on Category talk:Nintendo articles by quality, the entry will now be sorted under "C" (for "Category") instead of "N" (for "Nintendo"); it will not make Category:Nintendo articles by quality actually show up in the category.

In checking your contributions prior to writing the above, I notice you've been going around nominating things for deletion and commenting on talk pages "This should be deleted". As was mentioned by SMcCandlish here, it would be better if you brought these deletions up at WT:NES. Anomie 13:38, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment. I now see that my edit did not do what I thought it would. I am kinda new around here and am still trying to see how things work. I probably shouldn't be experimenting like that and for that I am sorry. It seems that you understand what I was trying to do; maybe you know the correct way to do it?

As for my deletion addiction, I am just trying to make Wikipedia a little less bloated; I find it hard to get to the pages I am looking for as it is. Judging by the members list you don't seem to be a part of WikiProject Nintendo, and may not be able to help me. I was just wondering if there is some kind of "code of conduct" for WikiProject Nintendo or maybe for all WikiProjects or even all of Wikipedia in general. Do all matters have to go through some sort of voting process or is there someone in charge? I never know if I have the right to edit certain articles and don't want to mess anything up. --bse3 20:38, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, there is no way to add an article to a category by placing something on the talk page. For a "code of conduct", it's just generally to be polite and ask for opinions if you're going to make major changes to something, nothing terribly formal.

For editing articles, Wikipedia encourages you to be bold, but not reckless, so go ahead and edit any article where you have useful information to contribute. At worst, someone will revert you and you can discuss the matter on an appropriate talk page. If you're unsure about something, or again if you're going to make major changes to a high-profile article, ask for feedback on the article's talk page before doing it. It also helps to be familiar with the manual of style. And don't forget to cite reliable sources for new information you add, especially when it's likely to be challenged or when adding information to articles that already have good sourcing.

[edit] CfD nomination of Category:Nintendo Setting articles

I have nominated Category:Nintendo Setting articles (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at the discussion page. Thank you. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 21:48, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't seem to have many articles in the category, as several articles have been merged and redirected. Feel free to fil it up and let them know not to delete it if that is your intention, otherwise it will be deleted. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 04:07, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
