Fair use rationale for Image:Academy logo 2.png edit

 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Academy logo 2.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.

Thanks for uploading Image:Napa home.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.

Speedy deletion of "Coray Gurnitz Consulting" edit

A page you created, Coray Gurnitz Consulting, has been tagged for deletion in accordance with our deletion policy. In particular, it meets one or more criteria for speedy deletion; the relevant criterion is:

Blatant advertising. Pages which exclusively promote some entity and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic.

Wikipedia has certain standards for inclusion that all articles must meet. Certain types of article must establish the notability of their subject by asserting its importance or significance. Additionally, since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, content inappropriate for an encyclopedia, or content that would be more suited to somewhere else (such as a directory or social networking website) is not acceptable. See What Wikipedia is not for the relevant policy.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

If you have any questions, please contact an administrator for assistance. Thank you —  scetoaux (T|C) 19:34, 7 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Among the most toxic phrases you can use in asserting somebody's notability is "up and coming." Others are "promising," "fast-rising" and "next big thing." Also to be avoided: "the next" or "the new" insert name of famous practicioner in this field, such as Dylan, Tupac or Tolkien; "getting a lot of street buzz"; "too new to have drawn attention in the press"; and "ready to break through." Notability is a matter of record, not potential; past tense, not future. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:31, 7 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

I think it is important for people to know more about Coray Gurnitz and what they are doing. They are having a real impact on government agencies using appreciative inquiry and social constructionism. Is there any way to share this info on wikipedia? Androskit (talk) 02:02, 8 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

    • Adding to what Mike said, You need 3rd party independent reliable published sources, print or online (but not blogs or press releases), talking about their work. DGG (talk) 19:35, 8 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
