Thanks for uploading Image:Ameche TD Colts.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. When you use a generic fair use tag such as ((fair use)) or ((fair use in|article name)), 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.
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. MECU≈talk 14:56, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
I put an article about my company, Olive Branch Enterprises, on Wikipedia back in November. It was deleted under the notability criteria. If I put an article about Israeli-Palestinian peace initiatives that emphasize joint economic activities would that be more likely to meet notability criteria? I know you cannot answer definitively without seeing the content, but in general, would such a topic be more likely to achieve the required level of "notability" than one about a small, unknown startup? Thanks for you input! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jcwoodward (talk • contribs) 02:44, 29 December 2006 (UTC).
Regarding your removing of links from the BR page. The links you have removed have been on the page for about 1 year. Who are you to come along and remove them? The Unofficial BR site was around years before the official site and it contains a lot more info. But this is typical of Wikipedia. It claims to be a encyclopedia that anyone can edit but there's always people like you who think they know better than everyone else. I would understand if it was blatent spam but the links you removed were totally relevent to BR. Anyway, you've deleted the Official site link too.
Yes I've read WP:EL and it says Wikipedia articles can often be improved by providing links to web pages outside Wikipedia. Such pages could contain further research which is accurate and on-topic
Pictures, BR's drum setup, Stories from people who knew Buddy and watched him play, Quotes from famous musicians who new Buddy, An interview from Modern Drummer magazine with BR and Gene krupa, It's mainly pictures people want to see and the site has loads of them.
The Unofficial site was made nearly 10 years ago so it might look a bit out of date but Cathy Rich must have liked it because she ripped off most of the layout and ideas. Yes I built the Unofficial site and I know quite a lot about BR. I would add things to Wikipedia but I know there are always people like you waiting to delete peoples additions. It seems like every page has someone who thinks they own it and will change everything someone adds, even if it's relevent.
My mistake about the official link, I see you've moved it. Well done, it shouldn't have been under the external link section even though that's what it is.
Anyway, do what you want. I just wanted to express my feelings and I can't be bothered to argue about it.

Hi, I was surprised to find that there was no page in Wikipedia for Helen Steiner Rice, and was thinking of creating one. I checked the deletion log and found that you had deleted one last November, with the note csd a7. I think that means that either the person or the content were considered unremarkable. Was it just the content, in which case I will aim to create a page with worthwhile content? Alternatively, was the person (Helen Steiner Rice) judged unremarkable, and if so has that been conclusively settled? Her poems have been read by very many people in the Western world who have ever been in hospital or bereaved, and I believe many of the card-buying public know her name.

Dear Cholmes75,
Please find that we tried to upload a post on December 21, 2006, in compliance with your request for solid figures and proof for Alpha Five software:

Dear Cholmes75, Thank you for your post. As per your request, a link has been provided to me which backs up all claims of awards and market recognition, at http://alphasoftware.com/about/releases.asp I trust that to the left, a menu titled "Quick Links" will direct you to case studies, a press room, featured clients, testimonials, etc. I look forward to your response, DonMoKhan —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.211.99.100 (talk) 00:28, 21 December 2006 (UTC).

Dear Cholmes75,
Thanks for your response dated January 9, 2007:
You don't need my permission, so go ahead and add your article. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 14:16, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Cholmes75, essentially we had posted an Alpha Five listing a couple of months ago which was removed.
You then requested I set up a subpage and mention all of the details we utilized for Alpha. You requested a link proving our claims, and you are now saying we do "not need your permission".
Can you please kindly confirm that we may proceed with our Alpha Five wiki entry as per our agreed upon content?
I greatly appreciate your diligent and prompt responses and for re-newing my faith in the greatest information portal on the Internet, Wikipedia.
Best Regards, Donmokhan
Thanks Cholmes75 for clearing that up. So now we have acquired notability and will post our Alpha Five entry with proof of notability.
We thank you again, Donmokhan —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.2.220.102 (talk) 20:08, 11 January 2007 (UTC).

Hi, I know it is redundant to have that link both in the infobox and in the External links section, but this sort of redundancy is pretty common practice in musician/band related articles and after all, we do use redundant wiki links when it comes to infobox and article body as well.

Please explain. Any person with rudimentary knowledge of the Romanian Orthodox Church knows that family names form part of the bishop's names - see Valerian Trifa, whom virtually nobody refers to as "Valerian (Trifa)". See also Teoctist Arăpaşu for the current Patriarch. If you feel like adding parantheses to the article for the sake of it, do go and them for every single Romanian Orthodox cleric, because what you are doing is otherwise utterly absurd. And I cannot for the love of me understand why you reverted the other stuff I added there! Dahn 16:36, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
Don't you think it is absurd to separate them just because you didn't originally know an article on Trifa existed? It certainly decreases the quality of wikipedia to have no clear take on matters such as this, IMO. Dahn 17:07, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
