I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

RE: Interlinking

The article seems fine with Wikilinks, but I don't think you should remove the templates from top of those pages until you address those issues.

Also your images, that you uploaded on Wikipedia Commons, were removed from the page Fiber media converter. This was done because you provide the source of the images as being IMC Networks, but fail to provide proof that the author agreed to license the file under the license you gave on the image. So you need to provide a link to a webpage with an explicit permission, or obtained such a permission via email, and forward it to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. Please only upload images that you can provide proof that they are under the free use license or that you are the person that took the image. Also you can upload the images on this wiki, rather than Wikipedia Commons. Just provide a fair use rational, and provide the source, and provide the right copyright tag see Image copyright tags also see Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria for more info. And see the following as a example: File:1201 sneaking into kyles room.png

Also please provide references for the facts you list on the page. Just writing them down at the bottom isn't really enough. for example article on similar topics see Electricity. see Citing sources and Wikipedia:No_original_research#Citing_oneself for more information. To seek help with copy-editing ask people at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors#List of members or ask for a peer review at Wikipedia:Peer review. --Gman124^talk 00:31, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again Gman124: I've been trying to figure this Wikipedia thing out on my own, but am getting nowhere. I tried asking for a "peer review" on the Peer Review page, but didn't understand how to post it properly without screwing anything up. When it comes to basic programming, I'm completely lost. I didn't know there was another place other than Wikipedia Commons to upload pictures for the article. The page I read said to post in the Commons area. Should I repost the images to the other area? And then relink them to the article? Or will somebody yank them again until I get them OK'd for the copyright? Do you have any suggestions as to how to have the company word the email about releasing the images? I'm alos working on getting the footnotes linked (having problems with that, too). Is there anything else you can suggest so that I can get those banners removed from he article page? Thank you again for all of your help. IMC Networks (talk) 17:18, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest

I've reverted all your recent edits to Fiber media converter. If you have material you'd like to see added there, or sources to cite, please mention them on the talk page instead. See WP:COI. Dicklyon (talk) 06:14, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fiber Media Converter

I have spent weeks researching the material for this project. There is no advertising or promotional material contained within. This is a very informative and educational article written from an unbiased point of view. I would like all of my citations put back and I would like the image of the media converter put back on the site. This was the first U.S. company to develop and manufacture these types of devices. Therefore, they are historically significant when referring to this topic. If the application diagrams were too "promotional" in nature, I can contact the company to have them edited to suit the Wikipedia terms. It is important to show how these devices are used in a real-life network scenario. And finally, why would the article require "copy-editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone or spelling"? Please give me the reasoning behind this banner? Thank you. IMC Networks (talk) 22:32, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
