Username
Hi. Thanks for your contributions. However, I would like to inform that your login seems to run afoul of Wikipedia's username policy - see WP:U. If I could make a suggestion, it would be to go through the process of Username change. Good luck, and thanks for being with us. Patstuart(talk)(contribs) 00:27, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Not trying to be rude, but would you care to point out exactly why I have infringed on Wikipedia's username policy? Pop Up Ads 00:30, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Under "inappropriate names", "Technical terms, such as visible toolbar buttons or namespaces. They may be confusing to inexperienced users or otherwise imply a capacity different than that of a normal user". Patstuart(talk)(contribs) 00:33, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well I have never seen a toolbar or namespace called "Pop Up Ads' nor have I seen anything significant labled "Pop Up Ads" that has any capacity to do anything that has the potential to cause confusion to anyone who has the mental capacity required to switch on a computer. However, "the line between acceptable and unacceptable user names is drawn by those who find the username inappropriate" and "changing user names is tedious and imperfect".


 * I appreciate your kindness about this, but I think I'll just use a new account. Thanks. Pop Up Ads 00:57, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'm not sticking you to it or trying to be rude. In fact, I considered putting a message up on Administrator's Noticeboard, because it's probably not right, but it's close to ambivalent. IF you'd like to get a second opinion, I would encourage you to do so; I'm just another Wikipedian trying to give some advise (someone probably would have said something eventually).

 * Alright, thanks again for your understanding. Just want to reiterate my apologies if I offended you in any way. I appreciate your help. [[Image:Face-grin.svg|20px]] Pop Up Ads 01:07, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:TBS_logo.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:TBS_logo.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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.

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. ~ Bigr  Tex  17:02, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Channel one.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Channel one.jpg. 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. BJBot (talk) 04:21, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
