Menes article
I wanted to bring that out about menes because the fact that there are many egyptologist who are finding out that the whole menes big huge war that united upper and lower egypt is more a traditional story than fact ,because of misreadings of ancient writings  and there is very little hard evidence that he existed.Most of the evidence about menes and some great war to unite egypt comes from herododus,and lets face it it's not like he was an eyewitness to it.i think that narmer is starting to be accepted as the first king of the united egypt .look at it this way your a great and powerful civilization so how did your great civilization come to be well we traded with each other started some of the same cultural bonds and over the cource of a hundred years or so we said hey lets unite or there was a great war and and agreat king arrose out othe abyss and conquered one part as to unite us as one'my little take on it ",but also in a book called the complete royal families of ancient egypt by aidian dodson(2004) he puts  narmer as the first king of a united egypt but he does put down "perhaps the legendary menes"but you can see what he was trying to get at there, but there is no clear concensus on this issue and unless they make a historic find wish i hope they will we will never know for sure,but i was surprized that there was no mention that menes was possibly a mythical leader rather than a actual one.but thanks for the critque of it, the way it fits into the article now is great,I might have butchered it a bit sorry but im still relatively new to wiki--Mikmik2953 (talk) 06:30, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

WP:Fair Use
Has Wikipedia been tightening their acceptance of fair use images? I notice even Alensha has encountered this problem. It seems more and more photos are being challenged by Betacommand and speedily deleted within 2 or 7 days if no rationale for their use are given. I talked this matter with her. Have you faced this issue too? Cheers, Leoboudv (talk) 05:54, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:RobertSamuelMcLaughlin-promo.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:RobertSamuelMcLaughlin-promo.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. Rettetast (talk) 16:36, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
