Aquinas Institute of Theology article
Hello Joe,

First things first: I'm the guy who just went through and completely deleted all your work on the Aquinas Institute of Theology article. Sorry about that, but Wikipedia really isn't the place for promotional material. We try to present and edit all of our articles to be NPOV (Neutral Point Of View), and so that's why I reduced what you'd written to a stub.

I'm also a former student at Aquinas Institute. (I attended in the 1999-2000 year, and have a grand total of 12 credit hours under my belt.) I intended on starting a new article on AI, but you beat me to it.

So, I'd like to work together with you on this. We need to remember to keep it NPOV, like an authentic encyclopedia article. I hope that I haven't offended you. In fact, I'm sure this is something that we might also be able to get current AI students to contribute to.

Image Tagging Image:AI DOMINIC.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:AI DOMINIC.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, ie in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use .)  See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. --Arnie587 22:23, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:AI_DOMINIC.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:AI_DOMINIC.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. MER-C 12:50, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
