Image copyright problem with Image:PARA.jpg edit

If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Fair use rationale for Image:Rugbyzambia.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Rugbyzambia.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 10:25, 6 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Spain vs United States edit

Yes, you right. Carlos Bocanegra was Left Back in this match. Tactical Line-up by FIFA.com is wrong. But we can see the right formation in Actual Formation by FIFA.com.Hoising (talk) 04:16, 25 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Call for consensus/conclusion to current Ireland rugby union team icon edit

Hello, I am contacting you because you have been an active participant in the recent discussion on icon to be used for Ireland rugby union. I have tried to summarise the many strands and come to a conclusion based on what I perceive the consensus to be in this section - Summary of Ireland Flag discussion and suggested consensus conclusion. To move the issue to a conclusion I am asking all participants who have signed the discussion to read my summary and comment on the validity of the approach I have advocated, before the issue goes cold. I am keen that the enormous efforts of all contributors results in a tangible conclusion on this occasion.Kwib (talk) 16:42, 11 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for October 22 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Alex Rokobaro, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Fijian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
