Fair use rationale for Image:JeanneDuPrau.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:JeanneDuPrau.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 20:46, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Books Written by Jeanne DuPrau
A tag has been placed on Books Written by Jeanne DuPrau requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Mazeau (talk) 22:55, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself. Please use the template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion. ''Even though a speedy-deletion was not warranted (though I strongly believe this article should be a part of the main article instead), you as the original author should not have been the one to remove the notice. Doing so violates Wikipedia policy.'' - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 02:29, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:JeanneDuPrau.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:JeanneDuPrau.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Pie&#39;n&#39;gravy (talk) 08:34, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Jeanne-ethan.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Jeanne-ethan.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 08:39, 24 May 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Pie&#39;n&#39;gravy (talk) 08:39, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: MySims
Hi Johnnywalterboy. In response to your post on my talk page, with that logic, then the DS version should warrant its own separate article on the grounds that it too is radically different to that of the Wii/PC versions. I am not denying that the PC version will probably have a wide range of enhancements in comparison to the Wii game, however I stress that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a game guide, thus I think it would be more constructive (and more resourceful for readers) to have access regarding all versions/ports of the "core" MySims game into the single article, albeit with all console-specific information split up into their own separate sections. Also, in this fashion it could be beneficial for readers who, at a glance, want to be able to compare all three versions within the same article. :) Thoughts?

WP:ADCO/RFC
Hi user:johnnywalterboy, I just noticed that user:Tutthoth-Ankhre edited your RFC entry. It said you started your entry mid 2008, but you clearly started an entry in August 2008 and there were no other edits by any "Johnny" in 2008. The last one was by user:Johnny Au at 2007-12-28T05:31:33. As Tutthoth-Ankhre's edit frustrates table sorting, I will undo it, assuming it to be a minor mistake or joke. If I am wrong please tell me. :)--Thecurran (talk) 11:45, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

POV at Abortion
I appreciate that you want to help improve the Abortion article. However, the tag you placed should always be accompanied with a talk page explanation. You said you saw a few sentences that were problematic. If you go to the talk page and point out what sentences you found problematic, then the users who work on that article have a chance to fix the issues (or in some cases, debate whether changes actually need to occur). So, if you have the time, I'd help out the editors at Abortion a lot if you could explain your concerns, and be specific if at all possible. Thanks!-Andrew c [talk] 00:54, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
