Hot words edit

Please do not use words which might make this article sound like an advert for your site. Phrases like "leading-edge features" and "forum members are also treated to regular contests" make this seem like an advert. But by all means do continue to edit the article to keep up to date with the site. Williamwade (talk) 02:56, 28 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

COI / Poor References edit

User:SatyrTN gave the author of this page (who is also the founder of HotHardware) some help, but in doing so also provided some very fair criticism of the references used. I am taking the liberty to copy that criticism here so that someone other than myself can jump in and clean it up. I am going to recuse myself from actively editing the article since I've already put it in a negative light. SatyrTN's comments on the references were:

  • The first one (from Slashdot) is probably you, since it's also from "MojoKid". That means you're posting original research, which is not allowed.
  • The second reference, from Engadget, is a brief mention that HotHardware has a review of the HP Blackbird. It has no significant coverage of HotHardware, which is what would constitute a reliable source about you.
  • Likewise the references at Intel, NVIDIA, and AMD are quotes from HotHardware, and the one at direct2dell is a link to HotHardware. No coverage of you at all.

Thanks helping clean this up. Noah 08:00, 1 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:HotHardware Screenshot.jpg edit

 

Image:HotHardware Screenshot.jpg is being used on this article. 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 this Wikipedia article 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.

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 there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
