Dundurn

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the User:Dundurn article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the article in your own words. For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Happy editing! Mak (talk) 02:50, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

"Other people do it too" is not a good excuse for doing something immoral and illegal. At times material can be "fair use" and if a good fair use rationale is given this material will be kept on Wikipedia. One major requirement for something to be fair use is that it's used in an article about the subject. Your userpage isn't an article. It's supposed to help others to get to know you and your work as a Wikipedian, it's not supposed to be an advertisement for outside services. It's also not supposed to contain fair use material. Please read up on copyright. Mak (talk) 17:46, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Oak Island Obsession.jpg)

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Oak Island Obsession.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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.

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Kevin_b_er 00:10, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Sarahs Legacy.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Sarahs Legacy.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 insure 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.BetacommandBot 22:18, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of The Unwritten Girl

The article The Unwritten Girl has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Doesn't meet WP:NBOOKS. Of the reviews listed, one is a self-published wordpress site, so it's not considered reliable. No reviews on Kirkus or Publisher's Weekly, which is very unusual as they review almost everything. Nothing found on Google, Highbeam, or Newspapers.com either.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.
