User talk:Johneweb
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Maryland Gridiron Network article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.
Feel free to re-submit a new version of the article. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I irrevocably release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, for use on Wikipedia and elsewhere."
You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. (aeropagitica) 18:11, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Orphaned fair use image (Image:Mgnlogo.gif)
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Mgnlogo.gif. 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. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
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. Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 14:44, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit]Thank you for the correction on that one, I have changed the redirection to the name that was in the article itself. SkierRMH 01:30, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Merge If you're comfortable doing that, go for it! I'll put the pages on my 'watchlist' to see if you've got any problems with that.
If, in the future, you have some more substantial information about the group - see Wikipedia:Notability - or WP:CORP - or WP:SCHOOL (although I know it doesn't belong specifically there) - to get an idea of what is the basis for a group such as this - please feel free to recreate the article.

Fair use disputed for Image:Mgn-new-small.gif
[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Mgn-new-small.gif. 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. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:08, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
