Fair use rationale for Image:Paul Oakenfold Bunkka.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Paul Oakenfold Bunkka.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Indonesia...
I removed your addition to Indonesia saying that Independence was gained from the Dutch. On the surface that statement might look fine to the uninitiated, but it is POV. Indonesian's will tell you that their sovereignty wasn't up to the Dutch in the first place to give them, rather it was always Indonesian and merely assumed by the Dutch. I.e., it's too complex an issue to adequately present in the few limited words of an info box.

On the other hand, no-one's suggesting we hide the fact that Indonesia was under colonial Dutch administration - that's different to questions of independence, sovereignty, etc. Thus, if you could provide info that said something like "Former Dutch Colony" rather than saying who gave independence/sovereignty to who, then I'd be happy. kind regards --Merbabu (talk) 03:12, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * PS, I will try to insert compromise position - give me 5 mins and see what you think. --Merbabu (talk) 03:18, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah - nice to hear about your interests and Sumatran connections. ANd thanks for the compliment. Yes, there is an Indonesia project although it's struggling with activity at the moment. But we've done some great work in the last 18 months with only hand full of involved editors.
 * If you're interested in Indonesian independence, I re-wrote/expanded Indonesian National Revolution. The info is good, but it's arguably a bit clunky in parts. One day i will get the books out again and work on it. --Merbabu (talk) 04:17, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

An exciting opportunity to get involved!
As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately! Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. -  Trevor  MacInnis   contribs  00:15, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Women's history editathon
Hey - Sorry for the late notice, but since you have yourself tagged as living in the Bay Area, I thought you might appreciate notification that we’re having an event Saturday! It’ll be held at Hoyt Hall, an all-women's house of the Berkeley Student Cooperative from 3 to 6 pm tomorrow. The main event page is here. Anyone is welcome to show up, but we’re expecting a significant number of people to come who have literally never edited Wikipedia before. If you’re an experienced Wikipedian who would be able to provide useful help to some of the newbies, your presence would be especially appreciated (and it might be a good idea for you to show up at 2 or 2:30 instead of three. Thanks, Kevin Gorman (talk) 02:01, 6 April 2013 (UTC) I’m AWB’ing this message to all Wikipedians who have tagged themselves in the bay area.  I’m sorry if the message isn’t of interest to you; feel free to delete it.   I’ll be unlikely to send future messages in a similar way, but if really don’t want to receive future messages of this sort, please let me know.
