Fair use rationale for Image:AVG Brand Logo 2.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:AVG Brand Logo 2.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.

Anglo-Russian relations

Hi there, glad to see someone else is interested in this subject. In fact I'm so interested I have "authored" the article in my sandbox here, I'm trying to get it up to an "A" class using the relevant project's guidlelines, you can keep an eye on it if u like.

File copyright problem with File:Stoke Memorial Stone.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Stoke Memorial Stone.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 21:03, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:08, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

-The free antivirus software category refers to [[free software]] antivirus software. "Free" here refers to liberty, not price. This can be confusing, yes, because we don't have a proper word in the English language (such as "[[libre]]"). The cost-free AVG software doesn't provide any of the four freedoms stated in the [[free software|free software article]]. I have re-removed the category from the AVG article. --[[User:Mosquitopsu|Mosquitopsu]] 14:06, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

-My apologies, I didn't realise that Wikipedia uses the term Free Software to denote Open Source software, or rather uses the original term of Free Software. -- [[User:Frontovik|Raskolnikov]] 08:14, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
