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

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. - SCEhard T 22:36, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

AfD
When you blank the discussion for articles which are being considered for deletion, it is also a good rule of thumb to remove the whole entry from the AfD summary for the day they are nominated. Otherwise, people go in to vote, and they get confused when the nomination is gone and their vote is the only one registered. Then they go digging into the history of the discussion page and sometimes they revert all the votes that were previously made. Ruby 01:48, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Links on Ed Gein
I noticed that you added a link to a tribute band's page on Ed Gein. Generally, that's not done, as pages like Metallica are bound to have literally hundreds, and the links would dwarf the article. Veinor (talk to me) 18:20, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I suppose reporting people are dead..... that are not, is more acceptable? so far everything I have tried to contribute, someone here has removed. apparently, not everyone can be a part of your nice little wiki, aye? just because YOU or whoever here does not think certain people are "note worthy" because YOU don't like them, does not mean they are not. I've added a drummer here that is moderately famous and you removed him. I think most of you are a bunch of hiphop idiots, and anyone that is not one of 'them' is not allowed here. CORRECT?

 * Deflection, insulting, and persecution complexes are a sure sign that something's wrong, and it's not with me. There are external link guidelines, and the 'fan band' link falls under 'Links normally to be avoided' #12 'Sites that are only indirectly related to the article's subject: the link should be directly related to the subject of the article.' It's a bit of a stretch there. Otherwise we'd have every single Final Fantasy-inspired band linked on Final Fantasy, and the links would dwarf the article. As for the drummer, I don't know who you're talking about, but it sounds like an admin deleted their page because they failed the notability criteria for musicians. Also, keep in mind that personal attacks are forbidden, and repeated attacks can (and will) get you blocked. Veinor (talk to me) 18:42, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
