From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome!

Hello, PilotSierra, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! 

For future reference, for articles with almost no content other than a pointer to another article, the Wikipedia:Redirect feature is often your best option. When you change the main article to a new title, as you did when you created American Standard Companies and removed almost all of the information from American Standard, using the Wikipedia:Page move feature is a good idea; you may ask me if you need any help with something like that. I think I took care of most of that, and put the info about the purchase of Armitage Shanks that had been in the American Standard article into the American Standard Companies article, but you may wish to look over the article to see if can be improved further.

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Ustun_aydingoz.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Ustun_aydingoz.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image 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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell (talk) (random) 23:57, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non-free use disputed for Image:Ustun aydingoz.jpg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Ustun aydingoz.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 after seven 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 14:52, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
