Wikilinks
Howdy!

Normally we only link the first instance in the main body of an article. If an article mentions say, Kirk Douglas, we link it the first time, but later on in the article when it mentions Kirk Douglas again, there is no link. If the article is really big, like Ronald Regan, we may put in a second link. Also, we add a second link if the item is mentioned in the main body text, and also in a list. Like mentioning a movie Douglas was in, and then a filmography of his movies.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Schering-Plough logo.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Schering-Plough logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 15:30, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Beckman Coulter logo.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
