Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. ~Matticus ^T_C 22:43, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Additional: Please check WP:MUSIC for the established guidelines on what does and doesn't constitute a band or musician notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Please, don't be discouraged; this is nothing personal, the guidelines are there for a reason, and I mean no offense by tagging the articles according to procedure. ~Matticus ^T_C 22:51, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Ubuntu Logo.svg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Ubuntu Logo.svg. 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 Wikipedia: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. 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. Tcrow777 talk 05:51, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Yabause screenshot.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Yabause screenshot.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 06:50, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
