Spycraft edits edit

I was wondering if you could provide citation for your recent edits, which i found to be very good, but some of your suppositions (as to product release and intent) need verifiable references. If you cannot provide them, they need to be removed. I thought I would come here and ask you about the issue before going through and either removing or tagging the unsupported statements. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 20:29, 5 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Pretty good on referencing. Would it help if I tagged the others? - Arcayne (cast a spell) 21:26, 5 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Done. Note that I added a future tag to something released in December of 07. that wasn't a mistake, but rather a notation of the writing style, still noting it as a future product.
Most of the tags deal with evaluative statements that need citation or rephrasing to remove the evaluative portion. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 22:16, 5 January 2008 (UTC)Reply


Fair use rationale for Image:Spycraft1.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Spycraft1.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.

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.

Re: Role-playing game edit

I removed it because it was a link to a discussion forum, which is strongly discouraged under our external links policy. The other forums linked on there seem to have community approval simply because they're large and/or well-known and aren't localized like yours (a site which caters to everyone will almost always get priority over a site for people in a specific location). However, I'm not so sure that they shouldn't be removed as well. I'll try and remember to look into that later when I've got more time. Wyatt Riot (talk) 12:26, 7 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Your revert on Dundee F.C. edit

commons:File:Captain sports.svg may well be used on a lot of squadlists, but it should not be. As it states in the manual of style, textual information should be entered as text rather than as an image, for reasons of accessibility and clarity. Oldelpaso (talk) 20:47, 8 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

I presume you will go through all the other pages and reset them? Dpmcalister (talk) 20:52, 8 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
As many as I have the will to do in one sitting. I've raised it at the Football WikiProject, perhaps many hands will make light work. Oldelpaso (talk) 21:03, 8 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Dundee FC.png edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Dundee FC.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. Stefan2 (talk) 10:17, 2 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
