PLANe CRASh TRAMa

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia by creating the page PLANe CRASh TRAMa. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

(P.S. You can add {tl|db-author}} if you want a page you created, and no-one else has edited, to be deleted.)

Sorry; I didn't actually mean to create that page. I just clicked on the "Save Page" button by accident. AppleMacReporter 00:34, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

No worries! The thing to add - I suppose this counts as stating the obvious - is {{db-author}}. Cheers, Angus McLellan (Talk) 17:28, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

HeHe @ your usrname. Makes me think of Apple System Profiler (The old version(s))! 68.39.174.238 03:50, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:PB100.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:PB100.jpg. The image description 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.

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 fair use images 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.

We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as WinHound, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material.

If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on Talk:WinHound.

Unspecified source for Image:Publisher 97 box.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Publisher 97 box.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 11:00, 25 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 11:00, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Username concern

My concern about your username

Hello, AppleMacReporter, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:

If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as asking for a "third opinion", or requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Wikipedia:Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Let me reassure you that my writing here means I don't think your username is grossly, blatantly, or obviously inappropriate; such names get reported straight to Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention or blocked on sight. This is more a case where opinions might differ, and it would be good to reach some consensus — either here or at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you. The Sunshine Man 12:07, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Moneual Lab

I've tagged this for speedy deletion as advertising, due to it's lack of much content beyond a website link. Do you have any secondary sources that would confer notability? Cheers Kevin 00:51, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Nope. It's already trash, and I really don't have anything, because I have never heard of this company until now. Saw it in a PC Magazine ad. Besides, I wasn't finished creating all the Moneual articles.

AppleMacReporter 01:19, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I deleted the other articles you created on this company as well. We don't have disambiguation pages that point to only one place and if all you can think of to include in an articles on a computer is specifications, I suggest that you reconsider having the article in the first place. Please read up on corporation notability; internet notability and notability. In short, if you can't find multiple independent sources there probably isn't much point making the article in the first place. If you want any advice or help with your editing, please drop a note on my talk page and I'll be happy to try and help. Spartaz ^Humbug! 06:38, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

- Ahhh... alright. I'll stop creating Moneual-related computer articles.

Sorry for warning

Sorry for the warning - odd. When I used Twinkle to speedy the page it brought your talk page up. My apologies. --Ozgod 03:24, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
