Re.question
Hello Gunnar, I hope you're doing well in Iceland. :-) Here's the code of my signature so you may have an idea of its components: Hús ö nd  . Commands such as will change the color of what's next (but don't forget to add where you want the command to end). I suggest that you visit List of colors, there you may choose the colors for your signature by simply inserting their code in the command. I hope this helps. Best regards,  Hús  ö  nd  21:55, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Painttoolboxvista.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Painttoolboxvista.png. 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.

One question
Do normal wikipedia users have move privilege, i ask because i just noticed a move tab above all pages, i dare not use it though, just wondering :P - Gunnar Guðvarðarson 01:55, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Hello. To answer your question, Yes, normal Wikipedia users may move a page.  The only requirement is that you be logged in on an account that has been active for at least four days.  This function however should be used cautiously.  You can learn about the move feature here.  Hopefully I have addressed your question.  If you have further questions, don't hesitate to ask them on my talk page. - Rjd0060 02:18, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Samaire Armstrong in its a boy girl thing.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Samaire Armstrong in its a boy girl thing.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 15:12, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Samaire Armstrong image
You want to know why I removed the image? It's because of the Wikipedia rules that govern where and how fair use images can be used - and that image of Samaire Armstrong falls into that category. The relevant clause can be found in the unacceptable images section:
 * "12. Pictures of people still alive, groups still active, and buildings still standing; provided that taking a new free picture as a replacement (which is almost always considered possible) would serve the same encyclopedic purpose as the non-free image."

Clear enough? Tabercil 03:31, 21 October 2007 (UTC)


 * okay - Gunnar Guðvarðarson 02:01, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
