Fair use rationale for Image:CGI-Tapestry-logo.gif edit

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:CGI-Tapestry-logo.gif. 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.

April 2008 edit

 
This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because of concerns that the chosen username may not meet our username policy.
This is often not a reflection on the user, and you are encouraged to choose a new account name which does meet our guidelines and are invited to contribute to Wikipedia under an appropriate username. If you feel this block was made in error, you may quickly and easily appeal it - see below.

Our username policy provides guidance on selecting your username. In brief, usernames should not be offensive, disruptive, promotional, related to a 'real-world' group or organization, confusing, or misleading.

If you have already made edits and wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name you may request a change in username which is quick and easy. To do so, please follow these directions:

  1. Add {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page.
  2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
  3. Please note, you may only request a name that is not already in use. The account is created upon acceptance – do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change since we can far easier allocate your new name to you, if it is not yet used. Usernames that have already been taken are listed here. For more information, please visit Wikipedia:Changing username.
Last, the automated software systems that prevent vandalism may have been activated, which can cause new account creation to be blocked also. If you have not acted in a deliberately inappropriate manner, please let us know if this happens, and we will deactivate the block as soon as possible. You may also appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you. Toddst1 (talk) 00:45, 25 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Tapestry Logo.gif) edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Tapestry Logo.gif. 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. BJBot (talk) 12:25, 25 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Allowing username change to Isjaki (talk · contribs). Please put this request in at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking.

So far, all of your edits have been related to your business. Under the conflict of interest guidelines, we all agree not to write about ourselves or our businesses. Now that you know that you won't be writing about your business any more, do you still want an account? What other kinds of useful edits are you hoping to make? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:45, 28 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your feedback, I was not aware of these guidelines and was only trying to provide useful information about a product. So who writes articles about business or products (e.g. id Software) if it is not someone with connections to it? CGITapestry (talk) 23:03, 28 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

When a company or product is really important, there are lots of people outside of it interested enough to write about it. Microsoft, for example. If a company isn't important enough that anyone outside the company is interested in writing about it, it probably isn't so important that an international encyclopedia needs an article about it. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 23:08, 28 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
