Fair use rationale for Image:Screenshot parental controls panel.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Screenshot parental controls panel.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 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 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. Soxπed Ninety Three | tcdb 03:48, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Hope to see you Saturday, Poeloq (talk) 03:01, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Macbook air

Thanks for taking care of that wikivandelism on the MacBook Air article. Some people are honestly so pompous as to argue a point like that. Note that the Mitsubishi was released in 1998 and cost $6000 USD.

SLIGHT difference here, yes? Lol.

Anyway kudos and thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonpaulusa (talk • contribs) 23:07, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

MacBook Air revisions

The lack of a security port is cited, and it is a very significant design and utility change in that all existing Apple products have this feature and, at least, this is unique to their laptop line. Regarding your edit descriptions, in the future, please assume good faith on the other party's behalf. AlexReynolds (talk) 23:23, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Noting where the design change relates to existing products is not original research. Please refrain from further reversions of this edit. Thanks. AlexReynolds (talk) 23:42, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

MacBook otheruses template

Thank you for fixing this, I wasn't really all that sure how to word it (just that it needed to be there), your solution is more elegant :) Xmoogle (talk) 14:52, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Parallels for Mac OS X screenshot.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Parallels for Mac OS X screenshot.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).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:23, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Mac OS X

No, the article is viewable, just not by everyone. It's like a book that you can't read on your computer. So removing that paragraph is vandalism. If you have to whine to an administrator because someone disagrees with you, then I suggest you just stop editing here.--Knowhands enjoykeep (talk) 08:15, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

I was of the same opinion as you, having seen it stated several times by various editors that sources that require a subscription are not appropriate sources. I tried finding the actual policy and couldn't so I asked at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard and so far, the only response I've had is that the source is OK. That said, I think a more easily accessible reference, if one could be found, would be much better. --AussieLegend (talk) 23:54, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of The National Society of Leadership and Success

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article The National Society of Leadership and Success, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?

Take a look at the article's talk page. I just can't find any evidence of notability meeting the very specific reliable source requirements of the Notability Guideline for Orgnizations. If you can, please add them to the article.

Thanks! --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs)} 16:53, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Quote: "Warren, you're a boob if you think there's a conspiracy to photoshop screenshots." You may or may not be right - nevertheless, personal attacks are out of line. Please remember to be civil. MFNickster (talk) 03:19, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

I do not believe "boob" to be an insult, but if it was offensive to you then I do apologise. Nja247 (talk • contribs) 12:30, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

It doesn't matter what's offensive to me - if anyone would have cause to complain, it would be Warren. Any kind of name-calling is unwise because it's directed to the editor rather than the content, just keep that in mind, please. MFNickster (talk) 04:37, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
