[edit] Thothica

Hi David,

For some reason, someone has nominated the Thothica article for deletion. I'd like to know on what grounds that nomination was made? From what I can tell, it should be even more appropriate than the articles about AOL or Yahoo!, and I don't think popularity or google rankings should enter into it the determination process, either. Feedback I've had from people who've seen it say they felt it was a very 'good' article, and these are people who are a) regular wikipedia users, and 2) not people I've known previously. Anyway, would just like to know if this can be decided in a positive way, or how I can influence it beyond a comment on the discussion page.

Thanks in advance (bob@thothica.com) bobbyray BobbyRay 02:58, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:University of Canberra logo.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:University of Canberra logo.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 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Spiel_des_Jahres_logo.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Spiel_des_Jahres_logo.png. 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 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 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. Rockfang (talk) 22:42, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Shadows Over Camelot box.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
