User talk:Meystel

Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like it here and stick around. If you like, you can leave a note at New user log to introduce yourself.

Before you start doing a lot of editing, you might want to take the Tutorial. It gives lots of basic information to help you to get oriented on Wikipedia.

You can sign your name on talk pages by using four tildes (" ~ ") for your username and a timestamp. If you have any other questions about the project, then check out Help or add a question to the Help desk. Alternately, you may choose to send a message to my talk page.

Happy editing! Yuser31415 talk 20:07, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:MeystelWeb.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:MeystelWeb.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

On undeleting Meystel article
I am sorry, but there are 2 reasons why the article cannot be undeleted at this time: Either you are not the subject or the article, or you are; in either case, the article cannot be restored at this time. If you wish to contest this, please submit the article for Deletion Review at WP:DRV where other editors may decide to overrule this decision. It is your prerogative to do so. --Jayron32. talk . contribs 18:53, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) We have no proof that you are the original copyright holder of the text, only your word that you are so.  Even if the text is taken down from the original site, the copyright does not expire; the copyright protection exists for the text from the moment it was created until the legally defined end of that term of copyright.
 * 2) If you are the person who wrote the text, then the article is in violation of Wikipedia's conflict of interest principles; you should not write articles about yourself.
