Re: Priority Club Rewards
Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from articles you've created yourself.

Also note that is only meant to notify the admin that you are writing the comment, and you should remove it after you're done writing an explanation. It should be placed on article itself (preferrably after the speedy deletion tag), not on the talk page, not on the talk page. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 22:10, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Blanking articles marked as afd, and then recreating those articles under new titles, might be seen as an attempt to evade Wikipedia's editorial processes. Please note that when you created both of those articles, you clicked a button under a notice telling you that Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Please desist. -- The Anome 13:28, 21 August 2006 (UTC)


 * That article keeps getting deleted (without any further discussion) because it had already been deleted as a result of a articles for deletion discussion. Below is a copy of my reply on the articles talk page (I've copied it here because that talk page will soon be deleted as an orphaned talk page. You are welcome to continue discussion of this on my talk page. Petros471 23:16, 22 August 2006 (UTC)


 * The page was deleted in accordance with the community decision at Articles for deletion/Priority Club Rewards. If you wish to appeal this, see deletion review, however I suggest this will not be successful. The alternative is to redirect this page to the main hotel article and add a section to that article on the reward scheme. Please make sure that it is written from a neutral point of view and you cite (but don't copy) sources. Petros471 14:58, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:ICHotels Logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:ICHotels Logo.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 14:07, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

*sigh*
This is the third time I've seen Image:Priority Club Logo.jpg on speedy deletion.

The short explanation is this: Wikipedia cannot accept images that are uploaded with either "permission for non-commercial use" or "permission for use in Wikipedia only" licence. However, Wikipedia can accept such images, if and only if they have a Fair Use claim.

In your case, you cannot have just an image in Wikipedia because the copyright holders have given a permission to use the logo. You have to specify that a) this is a logo whose copyrights are owned by such-and-such company, etc, and give details, and b) explain on what articles this image can be used, and why the use of the image qualifies as fair use under copyright law.

Let me give you a quick explanation on how to properly tag the file.
 * If the image is deleted, be sure to pick "Logo" under Fair use licences when reuploading this file.
 * If the image exists now, you can go to edit the image information page (click on "Edit this page"), then change the licensing section to say.

Once you've done either, you should still edit the file to add a Fair Use Claim. This should explain, in your own words, why and how this image can be used in Wikipedia (ie., in a quote-like fashion to illustrate a crucial point in an integrally related article) and how its use in such limited context will not harm the interests of the copyright owner.

Hope this helps. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 18:41, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:PCR Logo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:PCR Logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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.
