For now you can only link to sources articles like to any other external link, [http://sources.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_Space_Treaty Outer Space Treaty], but once it is setup properly, you should be able to link to it by doing [[:sources:Outer Space Treaty|Outer Space Treaty]], and it is indeed appropriate to link to the article.

That orbit

edit

I'm looking at the image, but I'm a bit confused, because it seems to be upside down. The diagram appears to show a satellite with the perigee over the US and Russia, and the apogee over the southern oceans. Am I interpreting this incorrectly? Maury 16:33, 25 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use Image:Milfordsun300.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Milfordsun300.jpg. I noticed 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. — Carl (CBM · talk) 14:31, 30 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
