Replaceable fair use File:PacStar 400-Series Modules.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:PacStar 400-Series Modules.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. &mdash; Train2104 (t • c) 00:22, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

I made some changes to the file that I think should address the concern here. I know people at the company so I can get them to release the copyright if necessary. Is your real concern that you don't think this image is necessary? As I indicated, rugged modules vary significantly from company to company, and since such information is not detailed in the article, a photo gives the reader a way to see how the ones from PacStar are constructed. This photo is ideal because the modules are in a soldier's hands for context.

File copyright problem with File:PacStar 400-Series Modules.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:PacStar 400-Series Modules.jpg. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is [ a list of your uploads].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation.

Proposed deletion of File:NewOTlogo.png


The file File:NewOTlogo.png has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Unused logo with no article used, it's also can't move to commons because of an unused logo will be deleted as of out of project scope."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Orphaned non-free image File:New Tektronix Logo.png
Thanks for uploading File:New Tektronix Logo.png. 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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:30, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm J. M.. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.—J. M. (talk) 18:48, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Laplink‎. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.—J. M. (talk) 19:08, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Bryawn. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.—J. M. (talk) 19:10, 30 July 2020 (UTC)


 * I'm confused by all this. The entire article was supported by references and used neutral wording throughout. Perhaps you could indicate the advertising content and non-neutral wording so I can correct this on future articles. Laplink is a notable software company that does not have a listing currently. The history of the company is interesting and worthy of being on here.Bryawn (talk) 19:24, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Were you paid to write Thomas U. Koll? There are some details in the article that are not present in the cited sources. Vexations (talk) 21:06, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

I know Thomas and did this as a favor and he filled in some of the gaps.Bryawn (talk) 02:51, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Laplink Software


A tag has been placed on Laplink Software, 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, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Umakant Bhalerao (talk) 09:53, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your views. The company has been in business for nearly 40 years and is well known across the computer industry. Every single fact in the article was supported by references and the article itself was written in a neutral tone just like thousands of other similar company profiles. If Wikipedia is going to maintain itself as a comprehensive source of information, such articles should be allowed and not randomly deleted.Bryawn (talk) 02:57, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
