Dodge Nitro source
Hi. First of all, User talk was probably a more appopriate method for reaching me than email. However, I still feel that that source constitutes linkspam. I would imagine that you are associated with the website, in which case there is a conflict of interest in that you have a wish to self-promote the site. Even if this is not the case, source states that self-published sources are not to be used, and a forum matches this criterion. If you use inline references to link to specific sections of the site that can be used to verify parts of the article, this is permitted; if you are simply linking to 'a' fan club website or forum, it is not. ck lostsword • T  •  C  09:25, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Frankly, no. It's still a spam link to the external website. Like I say, an inline citation to a specific page within that website could be relevant, but until then it isn't. For the record, the other link is also spam, so I'll remove that as well. ck lostsword • T  •  C  09:58, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

how do I use talk?
How do I use TALK to communicate with you?

What about Dodge Nitro Forum and Owners Club?
Doesn't Dodge Nitro Forum and Owners Club also fall into the linkspam category also? Shouldn't it also be removed?

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Berthelmet.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Berthelmet.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 06:58, 4 September 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Acather96 (talk) 06:58, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
