WelcomeWelcome! Hello Alton/Archive 1, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! --Fang Aili talk 13:23, 2 June 2006 (UTC) Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBotSuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun! SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping. If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker. P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 18:17, 20 January 2007 (UTC) Editors that don't provide an edit summary tend to look like vandalsI have noticed you commonly don't enter an edit summary as you didn't when you edited The Sims Stories (see this edit). This causes me problems. When I patrol for vandalism, I use the summary to make a preliminary decision on whether or not the post is a vandal edit or not. If the summary is present (or at least a section header, the part inside the /* */), I commonly decide the edit is legit and move on. However, if no edit summary is available, I typically resort to loading the diff for the edit. This takes time. For that reason, if your edits are all valid, I ask that you provide edit summaries. For more on how to enter an edit summary, please read Help:Edit summary. Incidentally, it is not just me that appreciate having edit summaries. When you omit your summary, you may be telling various bots that you are vandalizing pages. For this reason, please consider providing that summary. It is very important. You can enter that summary via the edit summary box on edit pages (as shown below).
The edit summary appears in black italics in the following places:
Will (Talk - contribs) 23:54, 24 January 2007 (UTC) Image:Zenuser.png listed for deletionAn image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Zenuser.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 01:54, 29 January 2007 (UTC) License tagging for Image:THS Aud.JPGThanks for uploading Image:THS Aud.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images. For more information on using images, see the following pages: This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 03:11, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
Image:XiangQi9.jpg listed for deletionAn image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:XiangQi9.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. MECU≈talk 23:59, 8 February 2007 (UTC) Fair use rationale for Image:Abercrombie_Logo.PNG Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Abercrombie_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 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. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 04:30, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
Little context in Drostanolone Propionate Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Drostanolone Propionate, by TheFearow (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Drostanolone Propionate is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. AfD nomination of Beija-Flor JeansBeija-Flor Jeans, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that Beija-Flor Jeans satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Beija-Flor Jeans and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Beija-Flor Jeans during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Consequentially 23:45, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Bridge CS3.pngThis is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Bridge CS3.png. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged. As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:44, 13 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner. OsamaKBOT 21:44, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
Image:Hoodie_CCTV.jpgI have tagged Image:Hoodie_CCTV.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. Secretlondon 03:34, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Notability of Anatoli BrandukovA tag has been placed on Anatoli Brandukov requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. VivioFateFan (Talk, Sandbox) 07:29, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Great series of Chopin articles. It looks like you got distracted from this, though. I think you need to at least add some stub-like text. The article shouldn't really be left like this. DavidRF 20:47, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
CopyeditingI believe I've been on this talk page before, but I also noticed that you are a copyeditor. Just wondering, would you mind doing a full onslaught on the crappy prose in the Musical Career section of S.H.E? -Pandacomics 21:32, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
TS2Some of the cruft does need to be cleared out of the Sims articles. They seem to be an incredible magnet for it, and things like the Bella goth mystery really aren't that notable for someone interested in learning about the game. In the grand scheme of things Maxis has done very little to further it and its mostly been fan creation. I wouldn't object to any kind of clean-up and shortening of material which doesn't directly relate to The Sims 2 the game. So if the expansion/stuff/add-on section can be shortened, that would be good. As far as the Sex controversy it arose from custom content, so it I can see it being in there. But perhaps at the end (swap places with The body shop)--Crossmr 21:42, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Chicken (food)Just wanted to say thanks for putting in the proper citing format for the chicken (food) article. I'm a fairly new user of wikipedia, so I don't know how to do all the formatting yet. I appreciate the help.--Grendlefuzz 14:28, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

RE: I have a questionHi Alton, Sorrt if I have not replying my messages lately, I am knid of busy updating information on Wikipedia articles. Well, I am so keen on adminship for several reasons. The biggest reason of all is that through RfAs, I can understand how other users is valuing me, and how they think of me. The other reason is that I really want to have the responsibility of an administrator. I will be willing to do chores, and maintain Wikipedia, especially protecting vandalism, and blocking vandals.

Your concerns certainly overlap with mine. So much is unsettled and poorly understood in the terminology of music theory! This is very evident at Wikipedia, especially when different academic cultures and different "dialects" come into collision. I have now put a cross-referencing link at each of our articles, since there is an obvious connection. I do hope you will contribute at Diatonic and chromatic, where something is still needed on the various understandings of the term chromaticism, and related matters. Call on me also, if you think I may be able to assist in any of your projects around Wikipedia. Best wishes to you! – Noetica♬♩ Talk 03:11, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

d-addicts frustration and hanakimiNow I understand why you were so upset the first time you saw the Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu article, only to realize that it was copied and pasted verbatim. I wrote a nice paragraph on Hanakimi on the S.H.E article, only to have it ripped verbatim onto the Fahrenheit article. They had no idea how long it took me to find those sources. It was like, oh, this looks good, I'll just take it for my own thing. Ugh. -Pandacomics 00:27, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
HYSNSNWell, no one's going to intentionally type in the umlaut, so either we keep the status quo, or make a redirect (despite the fact most pages link to the one w/o the umlaut. That can be fixed though.) - Pandacomics 06:23, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
RE: comment on my Quality Image candidateI just wanted to say thanks for the comment you left about my picture of the Book of Isaiah on the Quality images candidates page (a copy of it here).

Chopin Etude NavboxHello, I experimented with left-justifying the columns of Template:ChopinÉtudes. I thought it looked better for the Op. 10 and Op. 25 columns and looked a little worse (but not that bad) for the Troisieme Etudes column. Check the file history and see what you think. Also, I hate the say it, but the picture should probably go. Pictures are a nice touch in navboxes, but it doesn't look like there is an easy way to have both a picture and the columns (see Template:Navigation#See_also). What you have done has created a large amount of whitespace that has made an already large navbox twice as big as it needs to be. I'll keep looking for better ways to get the picture in there, though, because the picture does look cool. DavidRF 15:53, 27 April 2007 (UTC) IMSLPThanks for that very, very useful piece of information. Bencherlite 06:17, 30 April 2007 (UTC) Taiwan vs. ROCI just revert it, but I use a variant of the WP:China proposal #3, which basically says when political, use ROC/PRC; otherwise use Taiwan/Mainland/HK. Basically, for a person's "country/region of origin", I go with the "legal entity" at the time. For example, Stalin wasn't born in "Georgia" but rather the "USSR." In this day and age, "Taiwan" is politically correctly known as "the Republic of China." So if you ask where Jay Chou is from, he is from the political identity known as the ROC. Where does he sing? Taiwan, because he's not based on Mainland China or Hong Kong. When regional differences exist as they do in music or dramas, then it's fine to use Taiwan. Example: Hong Kong Cinema vs. Taiwan Cinema. Hope it sounds good. - Pandacomics 12:33, 5 May 2007 (UTC) University LogosThere are two reasons why I don't just upload over the old ones. First, they are often GIF files; I want to upload PNG files. Second, they are often named sloppily; I like to use descriptive naming scheme that is consistent across images. I think fair use rationales are a waste of time. I realize that including them is policy, but in practice most images don't have them and those that do often have silly ones. The whole concept is flawed, in my opinion, so I'm not going to bother. If the image police want to delete good images simply because a rationale is missing, then fine—though you'd think someone who believed in rationales that deeply would be willing to fill it in themselves.

My note pertained to a persistent vandal posing as an administrator who repeatedly deleted initial versions of the article without explanation and without following any protocol whatsoever. I had to file a formal complaint against him to get him to stop. The article was later nominated for deletion, which resulted in an "inconclusive" determination, but my comment in the talk section was not a complaint about that process.

Re: Russian cursiveOr perhaps get someone to make a better version, if they feel it's as bad as you do? I don't know a thing about it, either, and only found that version accidentally a few weeks back, but even if it's not perfect, I'm working on the basis of 'something's better than nothing'. If nothing else, it'll give a vague idea. And besides, everyone writes differently, so who knows, maybe it's close enough for some variation, if not a textbook-perfect learn-to-write-2007 version. Heck, even English cursive's changed several times over since I learned it... and that wasn't all that long ago. So while how I'd write the alphabet would no longer match books, I doubt anyone would tell me it's wrong. I can't imagine it's all that different for Russian. -Bbik 06:16, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Re:AFCThanks for you appreciation, I have seen you do a lot there. How that page works is there is the global page Wikipedia:Articles for creation and included in it is the page Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Today. At the end of the day, User:Jitse's bot, which is a program written and run by a user, moves Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Today to [[Wikipedia:Articles for creation/date]]. It then replaces Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Today by a blank page containing {{Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Daily header}}. Adding {{afc n}} seems like a good idea, you would have to request it as a feature on User talk:Jitse's bot, only the user running the bot can change the way it creates the page.--Jackaranga 08:58, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Infoboxes (Chopin Études/Ballades)Given you were the one who spent most time improving these articles, I guess I should consult you first before starting any larger discussion. Anyway given this furore over at WP:Composers over whether we should have infoboxes, I was wondering what your view is on whether classical compositions should have infoboxes. I see most of the Chopin Études and all 4 Ballades have infoboxes, but they seem to be absent from all other articles. Do you mind if we replaced the infobox with just a thumbnail of the music (a la Violin Concerto (Mendelssohn) - my own pet project) or would you rather they stay? Hope to hear from you soon.

YoghurtWow, you did a lot of work on that page. Just to let you know the reason I had only fixed two of the 6 citation needed template (and left in a bunch of crap), but focused more on the debate was because to some extent I figured rming the red links and taking out yoghurt would be controversial, and after the debate we'd have to discuss some of it on the talk page - but you left no room for controversy.

Even though they'll be calling it "Hanazakari no kimitachi e," misspellings are going to come up. My suggestion is to have Hanazakarino Kimitachihe as the disambig, with the sub-pages "Hanazakarino Kimitachihe (Taiwanese drama)", "Hanazakari no Kimitachi e (Japanese drama)" and "Hanazakari no Kimitachi e (manga)." The other alternative would be to write something like "This is about the Taiwanese drama. For the Japanese drama, go to Hanazakari no Kimitachi e, for the manga go to Hana-kimi," on the top of each page (of course you switch around titles as you go along)- Pandacomics 20:45, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Chinese popular music taskforceI don't know if you're occupied with a number of wikipedia articles lately, BUT. I would like to extend an invitation to join a potential C-pop taskforce. Preferably, it'd be a smallish task force focussing on working on one article at a time (i.e. article drives) so then it's less daunting, considering the sheer number of singers out there. I'm assuming you do quite a bit of work over at D-addicts, and you're a copyeditor, so...yeah. Even if you're only willing to copyedit the fanboy articles, that'd be super. Pandacomics 07:15, 6 July 2007 (UTC) UCLA againI need help with naming conventions. So according to the talk page, people are really passionate about using the full name. There's some inconsistencies between sub-pages like UCLA Library and List of University of California, Los Angeles people, so what would you suggest articles be standardized to? Specifically, I need a name for the forthcoming "History of ____" page (people seem to like those). ALTON .ıl 05:12, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Note: For future references, it is actually not Wikipedia convention to put a comma there (after "Los Angeles") in article titles.

Venue suggestion needed for a meet-up in Yuen LongDear: Alton/Archive 1 ： In the past meet-ups, we always had our meeting in the centre of Kowloon, either Kowloon Tong or Mong Kok. However, apart from these places, I am sure that alternative venues in other region would be suitable.
Here is the tentative information of the first meet-up：
The community would request for ideas of where we should hold the meet-up , in order to have a better decision. If you have any good ideas, don’t hesitate to give your opinions, million thanks!
Template helpMe again. I have an idea, but I don't know how to do it. Here at Category:Articles for creation templates there are too many different templates basically saying the same thing. I want to consolidate all templates into one {{Afc decline}}, where if you use that and add a word the message will change, like so—
and so on. There's about 25 of those different messages and I want there to only be one. Do I make any sense? ALTON .ıl 09:04, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
UCLA historyThanks. A problem is that, to my knowledge, there have been no institutional histories written about the UC system since the 1960s. (It seems everyone back then thought the free speech movement was the end of the university!) So, developments since then would definitely require extensive original research to put into effective context. Not that I'd mind, but I think I'm more likely to work with what's already there post-1969 than upload much more new content. What i think it needs are lengthly sections discussing the respective impacts of Prop. 13 and Prop 209, as well as a lengthy section summarizing UCLA's contributions to research, which would incorporate ARPANET, AIDS, Nobel winners, etc. I have time for an editing binge at the moment, but might have to suddenly take off again. I suppose history has to end somewhere, but more information on the football team scandals, the parking placard one especially, might be interesting.

ProblemHI there. Just saw you deleted that issue on my talk page. Did you get that resolved okay or should I take a look? - Alison ❤ 23:28, 29 October 2007 (UTC) Thanks for writing the article on Anatoliy Brandukov, who was on this list. Note that to mark him as done, you should create a redirect from the spelling on the page instead of piping a link. The name given is from Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians or a similar dictionary, and thus may be a common spelling variant that should redirect to the article page. (Russians in particular always have many ways of transliterating their names, and redirects are helpful to make sure links always point to the right place.) Also, you can actually just delete the item from the list as long as it meets a basic minimum standard, which this one certainly does. That way it doesn't need to be checked again to verify that it is relevant, and will automatically reduce the count of pages. If you have time and inclination, please write more articles from the list. I'm hoping to increase participation in the list and make progress in achieving more complete musical coverage in Wikipedia. Rigadoun (talk) 05:22, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Pronunciation of "Steinway"Hello Alton, "stine" + "way", accent on the first syllable. Opus33 (talk) 17:00, 25 January 2008 (UTC) AlkanApologies if I give the impression of being disparaging. (I was I confess deliberately so on one occasion, when you left an edit cut off in mid-sentence having deleted a list of pianists who played Alkan - but that maybe was an error on your part, and I shouldn't have taken you task agressively.) In general, one shouldn't give references in French on English WP when there is a perfectly good (and more recent) source in English. As regards Lewenthal, he was in my opinion a better pianist than he was a music historian (and not too good a pianist), but in any case the Smith book is more recent, so my own NNPOV is irrelevant. I certainly don't wish to inhibit you from editing the page and as you say there is a lot more that could be added. But I will feel constrained to correct assertions which appear to me to be incorrect or not documented, or are expressions of NNPOV. Between us - and with the contributions of others, as well - we will arrive at a consensus; - which is part of what WP is about. Apologies again for having rubbed you the wrong way.

I understand your points, and I agree in part. I was following the examples of many other foreign film articles, rather than a specific Wikiproject guidelines. First up, the year. I've seen various guidelines over the time I've edited Wiki articles and yes, you're right, according to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links) the year shouldn't really be piped to "year in film". However, I've seen other guidelines that advise against linking year-only dates as 1) there are millions of links to the same years and 2) the article content has nothing really to do with that year. Following this guideline, 2004 wouldn't be linked at all, though the year's of the Korean war, if mentioned in the article, probably would. As there are such differences in people's preferences to date linking, I chose instead to follow what appeared to be the standard found in a huge number of other foreign film articles, rather than those guidelines. I expected that most people who looked at this article would be more interested in seeing what other films were released in this year than reading about 2004 in general. I recently saw that articles have sprung up such as Hong Kong films of 2004. Instead of linking to 2004 or a piped link to 2004 in film, some people piped the link: [[Hong Kong films of 2004|2004]]. On one hand it's better because it's more specific, on the other, it's even less intuituve. As for South Korean, I agree, it should link to South Korea, and I've started trying to do this in other articles. But also, if at all possible we should try to get a link to Cinema of South Korea in that paragraph. True, we don't want to lose the war film link, so we have to find a way to shoe in both. Imagine trying to get in links to war and film in that opening sentence too! I am also seeing a lot of opening sentences with multiple piped links like this: "xyz is a [[Hong Kong films of 1991|1991]] [[Cinema of Hong Kong|Hong Kong]] [[martial arts film|martial arts]]-[[action film|action]]-[[comedy film|comedy]] [[film]].". Ideally the sentence would also contain links to Hong Kong and Hong Kong action cinema... So, IMHO, the answer is to reword the lead section get in as many of these relevant links as is possible / necessary. So instead of:

I can cope with its deletion from the article, as I have got the whole thing saved in my private files anyway. What I have not got is a copyright, so anyone who appreciates my prose can do likewise.

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). PLEASE NOTE:
WikiProject Theoretical LinguisticsHello, I am trying to bring WP:WikiProject Theoretical Linguistics back to semi-active status. Toward that end, I have moved all members who have not posted to the project page in the past six months to a section, "Inactive members." If you wish to be active in the project, I hope you will move your name back to the section, "Members." You may also remove your name if you are no longer interested in the project. Thanks, and happy editing, Cnilep (talk) 18:00, 19 June 2010 (UTC) Do you happen to have expert knowledge that could help this article? Brambleclawx 18:03, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
Reviewer Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010. Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages. For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here. If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Tiptoety talk 06:18, 12 July 2010 (UTC) Здравствуйте!

Fair use rationale for File:HYSNSN.JPG Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:HYSNSN.JPG. I notice the file page specifies that the file 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 file 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:07, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
