[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles, as you did to Electric Daisy Carnival (album). Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. E_dog95' Hi ' 13:31, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello. If you'd like to create the article for the carnival, place {{helpme}} here on your talk page, or visit the help desk for instructions on how to do that. Cheers. E_dog95' Hi ' 13:34, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Here is a link that shows how to create a new article. Starting the article on the festival is a good thing... E_dog95' Hi ' 15:51, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Help with article
[edit]{{helpme}} I was just wondering if the article I'm working on has anything that needs correction or fixing. It's the Electric Daisy Carnival one. Thanks! Djzin (talk) 09:21, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Djzin. I've done a quick clean-up of the article, click here to see what I've done. My biggest suggestions would be to:
- Please remove the various Talent tables and sections. Collapse these down into a single section with prose listing notable acts, perhaps grouped by year (but still in sentence form). It just isn't necessary, in my opinion, to list every single act across every stage. Just pick some big ones to represent the others.
- Rather than listing locations and dates in the Talent section, create a table which lists location, venue and date, and put it in a section of its own (preferably with some prose to go along with it, but that can be dealt with later). Remember to add information that goes all the way back to when it was established, if possible...I was somewhat confused by the mention of an event in Texas, but not seeing any details about it.
- Add more actual prose, so it doesn't look like an advertisement.
- Look up some sources (newspaper articles, internet news articles, etc...like you see on other various Wiki pages) to back up statements and figures. This is a major point, because although it appears quite notable on the surface, without those sources, it isn't verifiably notable by our standards.
- As a start, it looks fairly good, and once you take care of the above points, it should be a fine article. I'll add it to my watchlist, and will likely poke my nose around in the future. If you need further help with anything, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Cheers! — Huntster (t • @ • c) 10:09, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Edc_2009.png
[edit]Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Edc_2009.png. 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 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 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 00:08, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
