Orphaned fair use image (Image:DTC blue1024.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:DTC blue1024.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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.

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.

PoliticsUK infobox
In a couple of articles, your addition of this infobox has rather destroyed the layout. In particular I'm thinking of Tony Blair and John Reid (politician). Do mind taking a look and seeing if it can be put somewhere a little less disruptive on those pages? Cheers, WJBscribe 02:10, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Hague ride.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Hague ride.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 23:45, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of 2012 Summer Olympics medal table
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article 2012 Summer Olympics medal table, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:42, 18 August 2008 (UTC)


 * General  aticles about the future events such as the Olympics are certainly warranted, but something as specific as a medal count table make no sense when the first update of that table won't take place for four more years. this article can wait until then. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 06:24, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

European Union
Hi there,

I think you introduced a nice change to the article European Union, are you planning to finish all countries? Just one country with the flag does not look good enough.
