Hi. Please review External links. Your edit to Quentin Willson violates criteria 1, 3 and 4 of "Links normally to be avoided". Thank you. Mark83 13:43, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Gary McCausland
Hello. It is evident from your user name and from the registry of that you work for NMP Management and as such are the publicists for Mr. McCausland and other people. You should really peruse the Conflict of interest policy before you make any more edits to the articles of your clients. Editing as you have been, with almost no communication with other editors, is bound to raise hackles. I've seen a few cases similar to this and what seems to work best is for the involved party to propose changes and give references on the article's talk page rather than in the article itself. This way you recruit editors to be your allies instead of having to struggle against us. It is also much more ethical to be upfront and honest about who you are and what your intentions are in cases like this. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this and have a great day. &mdash;Elipongo (Talk|contribs) 20:21, 26 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Also, I'd like to point out that when you uploaded the photo, Image:Gary-McCausland.jpg, you licensed it under the Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike License v. 2.5. Are you sure this was your intention? If you read the documentation here you'll see that anybody can use it or modify it for any use they want, so long as they give you attribution. That means that someone could legally use the photo for a site saying negative things about Mr. McCausland or even modify it to make it appear he's done something he hasn't. Is this really your intention? Promotional photos are usually licensed using a "Fair Use" rationale that only allows the photo to be used to illustrate the subject of the photo; in other words Mr. McCausland's photo wouldn't be usable anywhere but in an article about himself. My guess is that is probably preferable to your agency. I hope you find this advice useful. Again, have a great day. &mdash;Elipongo (Talk|contribs) 20:36, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Gary-McCausland.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Gary-McCausland.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image 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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 21:42, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
