Commercial use of Image:Er logo.jpg
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Er logo.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Er logo.jpg has a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission, which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3). While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial. See our non-free content guidelines for more more information.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license GFDL-self to license it under the GFDL, or cc-by-sa-2.5 to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use PD-self to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Er logo.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 10:17, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Er screenshot.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Er screenshot.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. Sfan00 IMG 10:56, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Emirates residence
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Emirates residence, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Emirates residence fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason: Little information provided about topic and it seems like some sort of advert and writen for promotional reasons To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Emirates residence, please affix the template  to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 13:35, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Spam reply
These articles have related links. The one you keep inserting seems to be an advert. Your only contribution is to promote this link through article creation or imagery. --Ad@m.J.W.C. 13:40, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The link is a spam link, all it is is a hotel directory advert. That is the reason for its removal. Thanks.--Ad@m.J.W.C. 13:52, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It is still a hotel directory, the interactive map is also a hotel directory. Why are you so intent on having this link added to multiple articles. --Ad@m.J.W.C. 14:10, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Like I said before, the website is an advert. The other articles have more formal links that expand on the information provided in the wiki articles. The link that you want to insert is nothing but an advert. End of story. Thankyou. --Ad@m.J.W.C. 14:16, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * If someone wants information about hotels in Dubai, they can go to Google or Yahoo and simply type in the key words. Its simple, anyone over the age of five could figure that one out.--Ad@m.J.W.C. 14:23, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Archiving talk page content
Regarding user talk pages, it is best to not delete notices, but instead, to archive them. You can find how to do this at How to archive a talk page. Actively erasing non-harassing personal messages is often interpreted as hostile. In the past, this kind of behavior has been viewed as uncivil. For this reason, if your deletion of notices and concerns on your user talk page is to keep the "clutter" down, I suggest that you instead create archives for these messages. --Ad@m.J.W.C. 07:00, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
