Re: Help me understand
Sorry for the deletion, but the article as written failed Wikipedia standards for notability. The usual litmus test is, "does this person/group merit inclusion into an encyclopedia and, if so, why?" That the person or group exists is not sufficient; the article must be able to demonstrate its own merit. Any further questions, please ask. :) RadioKirk (u|t|c)  20:32, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * You may be right, it may not make it here; if it can't answer "why does the reader care" and especially if it's not verifiable, it won't survive. Thanks for writing me. :) RadioKirk (u|t|c)  23:42, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Bats.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Bats.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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
