[edit] tipton three merge?

May I ask you to take a look at Talk:Tipton Three?

Some people think a merge is a good idea. But more people thought it was a mistake.

I continue to think it is a mistake. Did you have new reasons to add to the discussion?

Cheers! -- Geo Swan 23:27, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use disputed for Image:Rafis Revenge.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Rafis Revenge.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 05:13, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rationale for album covers

Noticed that you'd removed the disputed tag from the Rafi's Revenge page before because you thought it was a mistake. It seems a bit odd to me but apparently album covers, single covers etc have to have a 'Fair use rationale' for each use in addition to the 'boiler plate' added when uploading. You can see an example on one of the covers I uploaded here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Feist-monarch.jpg

Once you've added the rationale you can get rid of the dispute tag. Just thought I'd help you out 'cos I didn't understand the bot message for ages after a load of my album covers got tagged! Cavie78 11:49, 26 October 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Target Earth DVD Cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Target Earth DVD Cover.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] Speedcabling

You beat me to it! :P I had my article ready and was ready to press the Save button, but was just three minutes later than you. I refactored it a bit - I didn't think the separate "Winners" section was necessary for such a short article, and reworded a couple of minor points that did not seem notable. But anyway, well done for being first. :) • Anakin (talk) 17:59, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Hello Factorylad

How are you finding Wikipedia so far? Are you enjoying editing Law Enforcement related articles? now your a fully fledged member, I was looking at your created pages and I must make you aware that I think they are very good. Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 15:14, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

That was something I found too when I joined only a little while ago that most articles you know about are already created, but then again there is no mad race or rush to make them, [1] < althought you can find the list of outstanding articles in the link for the project, so your a police officer? in England right? Happy Editing! Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 15:30, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes of course, I dont blame you. If anythings dangerous the Internet has to be in the top 10, lol most of the users like to display Userboxes me included. Thanks for the info :) Again happy editing! Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 15:45, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
