Hi. Note that "See also" sections should be internal links (links to other Wikipedia articles), and should be kept seperate from "External links" sections (links to other websites). Check out the Wikipedia:Manual of Style and associated links for more tips. Hope this helps. Cheers, --- Infrogmation 15:27, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Play/to do

Hi, you recently created the page Play/to do as a subpage of the article play. In general, subpages should not be created in the main article namespace. If you wish, I (or you) can move the page to a subpage of your userspace or just copy-past the text into the article's talk page. Please let me know here or at my talk page. Cheers, Black Falcon 02:29, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I've noticed now what the issue is. The article's purpose is to allow it to be transcluded to Talk:Play as a to-do list. With {{todo}}, it's actually the talk page Talk:Play/to do that is transcluded, so the article itself is unnecessary. I have tagged it (but not the talk page) for speedy deletion per WP:CSD#G6. Cheers, Black Falcon 05:00, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Freepeoplesmovementlogo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Freepeoplesmovementlogo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 11:34, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:YuliaVerde.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:YuliaVerde.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 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. Videmus Omnia 16:40, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use Image:YuliaVerde.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:YuliaVerde.jpg. I notice 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:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
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. Videmus Omnia 16:41, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Great American Streetcar Scandal"

Kiko- I notice that in January, you moved the article "General Motors streetcar conspiracy" to "Great American Streetcar Scandal". While I have pieced together from the talk page that there was a consensus to avoid the word "conspiracy" in the article title, where did you get the new article name from? Was that from another source? I am concerned that 1) it is overcapitalized, and 2) this is not a standard term. Do you know of any sources that refer to this event as the "Great American Streetcar Scandal", or was it your own creation? --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 19:00, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Politics of Heredity, Disability and Reproduction

Dear Kikodawgzz

I am trying to recruit participants for my research project. I am a PhD student at the University of Sheffield, in the UK, and I'm conducting online research into "The Politics of Heredity, Disability and Reproductive Technologies". I would like to invite you to take part in this novel and important project. I have approached you because I noticed that you had made several contributions towards disability related articles (including the article on the Social model of disability) and I believe you will be able to make a valuable contribution towards the project.

The research will explore how differing attitudes towards this topic may reach a shared understanding. The findings will be disseminated amongst "stakeholders" in the field, with the intention of addressing questions of policy and practice, and I would be happy to share these findings with you before the release of any reports or publications. For further information see this link.

Please forward this to anyone who you think may be interested and do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Nicholas 09:07, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:BillEptonDemo.jpg}

Thank you for uploading Image:BillEptonDemo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.
