License tagging for Image:Squad'07.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Squad'07.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 14:10, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Dragon'08.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Dragon'08.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 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 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 10:27, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Squad'07.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Squad'07.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 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? Rettetast (talk) 09:18, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Dublin Dragons


A tag has been placed on Dublin Dragons, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 10:20, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

 * I have restored the content of the article Dublin Dragons and "userfied" it at User:AVP8472/Dublin Dragons, so you can work on it there. I don't know if you know about userfication, but in case you don't I should explain that this is meant to be a temporary measure until the page is ready to be moved back to Dublin Dragons as an article, not a long-term place to keep the page instead of the deleted article.

Rewritten version of Dublin Dragons
Hello. I have just looked at User:AVP8472/Dublin Dragons. Sorry it took me so long, but unfortunately I tend to forget to check User talk:JamesBWatson/Open. In any case, as far as I know you should be able to post on my normal talk page, as you should be autoconfirmed. If you find you can't, let me know, and I can change your status to confirmed.
 * The main problem at the moment with the draft article is that it does not give any independent sources. In order to show that the subject satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines, you need to show that there is substantial coverage in reliable sources which are not dependent on the subject, so that for example the club's own site would not count.
 * A smaller point is that it is not accepted to include contact information in an article. I have removed the email address, and relabelled the rest of the "Contact information" section as "External links", which is more in keeping with Wikipedia's style.
 * Finally, if you want to look back at the earlier comments about this on my user page, you can find them at User talk:JamesBWatson/Archive 21. Please do not edit that archive: any new comments should go in my current talk page. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:13, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
