Articles for deletion/Montblanc America's Signatures for Freedom pens
Hi, having read your request at deletion review, I'd like to offer my services in undeleting these articles and moving them to your userspace. While I don't think that any one Montblanc edition requires its own article, there's potential in a collective account. The major concern cited in the deletion debate was the complete lack of critical commentary from reliable sources. If these editions are notable in the field of pen collecting and you can dig up some third-party reviews and appraisals to back up that assertion, then there should be enough material for you to compile an article that is consistent with WP:V & WP:N. My suggestion would be to move the revisions of all of the deleted entries to a temp location (a la User:BMcCJ/sandbox) to serve as a draft for a full-fledged article or list. Let me know what you think of this idea, I'll be happy to help in any way I can. Regards, ˉˉanetode╦╩ 08:42, 29 January 2008 (UTC)


 * YES, please and thank you!
 * I've undeleted and merged the content of these articles to User:BMcCJ/Montblanc. That page is currently a cut and paste of the source content of each article, note that the file history is preserved collectively. Given some work, this content would lend well to a stand-alone list. Since these articles were already deleted, any new draft must be significantly different from the deleted versions and must reference secondary and tertiary sources. You must make sure to include a detailed lead section that clearly explains why the various Montblanc editions are notable. Entries on individual pens should be annotated with details like the number manufactured, outside reviews and listings, historical background, etc. Good luck and happy editing! ˉˉanetode╦╩ 21:06, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:McCulloch.gif
Thank you for uploading Image:McCulloch.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by 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. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. 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.BetacommandBot (talk) 15:39, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Hobie logo.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Hobie logo.gif. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. 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 description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Big welcome to the article rescue squadron

We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles that have been tagged for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!

Orphaned non-free image (File:LimeNVioletLogo2.jpg)
 Thanks for uploading File:LimeNVioletLogo2.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 "file" 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 "File" 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. Skier Dude ( talk ) 05:34, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Frank Dyer
A tag has been placed on Frank Dyer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. 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. 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 verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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.
