Oxygen masks
Hi,

no problem, we've all been new (although for some of us it has been a while...).

The best way to avoid sounding promotional is to only write facts that are referenced with verifiable sources from reputable (scientific, peer-reviewed) sources. Even if you know more about a subject, if you can't reference it, you should think twice about writing it, because someone else can dispute or delete it.

If you submit your article, others will edit it, hopefully for the best; you can recruit interested editors from WT:MED once you have posted it. Whatever happens to the article, don't take it personal, it's probably the learning curve of wiki...

cheers, --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 21:28, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with File:Flomax.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:Flomax.JPG. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like PD-self (to release all rights), (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

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

This is an automated notice by STBotI. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 15:48, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Re: Flo2Max article
Hi,

the article you have prepared on your userpage seems to deal only with one specific brand of oxygen mask. This is unevitably promotional; we already have an article on oxygen masks. Any useful content should be added to that article.

Regarding the image; Wikipedia only allows images which are free to use by anyone, including modification and commercial use by others. This is because Wikipedia wants to promote free culture. Giving Wikipedia permission to use the image, but not allowing it to be used by third parties, is not allowed. The most restrictive license we allow is a cc-by-sa-3.0 license; it allows anyone to use the image for any purpose, on condition that the author is credited and the image is distributed under the same license.

Let me know if you have any further questions,

cheers, --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 12:41, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

User:Oxygentherapy
A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Oxygentherapy, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages: user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for businesses.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the page in question and leave a note on this page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Calton | Talk 15:18, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
