I switched Defense Arts Academy to an infobox that would work better for you, but I also added a "context" tag--the article badly needs some sentences to inform readers of what the subject actually is.

 * You need to look over WP:COI and WP:SPAM. Your edits aren't tending to promote Wikipedia's goals as an encyclopedia... NickelShoe (Talk) 19:51, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

AfD Nomination: Defense Arts Academy
I've nominated the article Defense Arts Academy for deletion under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Defense Arts Academy satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. I have explained why in the nomination space (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/Defense Arts Academy. Don't forget to add four tildes ( ~ ) at the end of each of your comments to sign them. You are free to edit the content of Defense Arts Academy during the discussion, but please do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top). Doing so will not end the discussion. NickelShoe (Talk) 18:34, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Please do not remove
Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages. The notices and comments are needed to establish community consensus about the status of an article, and removing them is considered vandalism. If you oppose the deletion of an article, you may comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. NickelShoe (Talk) 21:08, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:1 LOGOTKD.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:1 LOGOTKD.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. BetacommandBot 18:32, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:NCCentennialLogo.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:NCCentennialLogo.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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Deletion of Defense Arts Academy
Hi. No, I didn't delete the article. I'm not an admin, so I can't delete articles. I had previously nominated it for deletion, and it was deleted after that discussion. If you check out the deletion log, you'll see that User:Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh deleted the article the second time. If you have any questions about the deletion, you should ask him.

 * He exists as far as I can tell. Did you try talking to him at his new discussion page? User talk:Pegasus.  NickelShoe (Talk) 20:36, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:NCCentennialLogo.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:NCCentennialLogo.jpg. 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.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 19:07, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:NCCentennialLogo.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:NCCentennialLogo.jpg. 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.

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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 13:47, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
