Fair use rationale for Image:Operation bulldog 1.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Operation bulldog 1.png. The image description 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.

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 fair use images 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.

Addressed fair use concerns in a manner I feel is sufficient. If not, please leave a message, and I will do all I can to make it right. YK Times 22:42, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Photo request

Hi, I see you're from Yellowknife. If you have a digital camera, would you be able to get a picture of the Northwest Territories Legislative Building? Thanks, - 02:47, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

I'll try to take one, but I'm a student, and I don't really get out that way too often. Sorry. Yk Times 00:36, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Image:Con mine aerial.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Con mine aerial.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Chowbok ☠ 04:43, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I have changed the licence (as I created the work) to a free one. -YK Times 01:09, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:City of YK CoatofArms Colour.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:City of YK CoatofArms Colour.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 18:45, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada

I think your project might be a bit too specific right now, particularly considering that there is not even a more general project for the Northwest Territories overall yet. However, someone else has recently set up an umbrella project at the location above where they might be able to help you establish a more appealing project page, publicize it, etc. I really think a more generalized project for the Northwest Territories overall would be of infinite value both to Canadian wikipedians and wikipedia as a whole though.

Thanks a bunch Badbilltucker, I have since joined the project, and am on my way to making a difference. -YK Times 01:55, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Adoption?

Would you like to be adopted? Let me know which areas interest you here on WP and I might be able to help! A message on my Talk page is the best way to contact me. I am on UK time (GMT+0), if that is an issue. (aeropagitica) 06:10, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a bunch for considering me for adoption! I live in a different time zone (MST, -7:00), but I don't think it will be an issue. I am interested in new article creation, disambig. linking, copy editing, and learning in general everything I need to know to become a successful, knowledgable Wikipedian (I have a secret desire to one day be an Admin, probably like most other users). Have a cool yule! -YK Times 00:56, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

That's great! Ask your questions on my Talk page and I will do my best to find the answers and deliver them in a style suited to you. Happy editing and I look forward to working with you! (aeropagitica) 05:56, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm really grateful that you adopted me! I want to become really involved with Wikipedia. How do you recommend I go about this? What did you do? Also, could you comment on the design of my userpage? Thx. -YK Times 23:24, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for getting back to me! Firstly, you can look at Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia for ideas about becoming involved. There's plenty to do here! You can also join a programme such as Esperanza to talk with and relate to other editors. I become more involved with Wikipedia through editing pages about which I knew something, then following links to other pages, etc. My first welcome message alerted me to the existence of the Talk pages and usernames, which then linked through to the project areas such as XfD and admin-related noticeboards. I will comment on your pages tomorrow, if you like, as it is nearly midnight here in the UK and I have work in the morning. Goodnight! (aeropagitica) 23:57, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
