Wikipedia is not a place for posting reviews
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I see that you're adding information about books by Frank Arnau into Wikipedia. That's great, but please note that the review sections you are also posting are not appropriate content for Wikipedia. Wikipedia articles may reference reviews by established critics where appropriate, but it's not a place for publishing reviews of your own, because such reviews are original research. Apart from that, your additions are quite welcome!

For further information about Wikipedia and its policies, please see the article at Welcome, newcomers! -- Captain Disdain 13:59, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I see you're catching on right away! Good job, man. Just another small note: signing your comments on talk pages (like this one) is customary, but it's not really appropriate to add signatures to Wikipedia articles. -- Captain Disdain 14:08, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Lautlos wie sein Schatten
Hi, Xodarap, the cover you show is German in my German eyes. I have no idea however, whether the original title ist Nacht in New York or Lautlos wie sein Schatten. Gf1961 14:11, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

The title Nacht in New York is actually a Dutch title, so the book shown is a Dutch translation. Lautlos wie sein Schatten is really the original German title. --xodarap 14:13, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:The hound of death.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:The hound of death.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 insure 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.BetacommandBot 06:25, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Witness for the prosecution and other stories.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Witness for the prosecution and other stories.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 01:52, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Flynns 19250131.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Flynns 19250131.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) 05:44, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
