Well, there was a consensus to redirect/merge on the AfD, so I closed it that way, if you disagreed you could have said something. At any rate, redirecting doesn't need an AfD, no deletion was made, so you can reverse it if you want, though you might run into trouble if there isn't consensus to do that. But for now I have no problem with it... just remove the AfD from the article, the AfD is over. --W.marsh 21:05, 13 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Well you can point him right to this thread on my talk page, it should be sufficient to explain where the article stands in terms of redirecting or staying a seperate article. I have gone ahead and removed the AfD though. --W.marsh 23:21, 13 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
The consensus was to merge and redirect. You could have brought up the issue on the afd discussion. Regardless, you were the only one who opposed it on the article's talk page. Bring it up again on the talk page if you like, but reverting a decision made by consensus is not the appropriate course of action. DB (talk) 22:38, 18 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
Actually if there is consensus to take action on a specific article, then the action should be taken on that article. Since there was little discussion on the last one, I'll put up a merge request and post a notice on the project page. DB (talk) 07:17, 19 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Marco polo.gif)

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Marco polo.gif. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:44, 14 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Residency in Malaysia, by Nirvana2013 (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Residency in Malaysia fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

Fair use rationale for Image:Hd-logo.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Hd-logo.jpg. 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 insure 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.BetacommandBot 23:25, 5 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
