Somdplunge

Some friendly advice re this

Hi there, very glad to see that you're drafting the article safely out of the way. However there are a couple of things you might want to look at. One is the issue of conflict of interest, and I infer from your username that you are either associated with, or an enthusiast of, the Plunge. That will make it difficult for you to write the article from a neutral point of view, but not impossible. Also, the current article is about a future event, and it is often said that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. It is hard to establish the notability of something that hasn't happened yet. One possibility is to make the article about the Plunge event which I gather is now several years old. In that time it must have developed a history, been the subject of radion, newspaper and TV articles etc etc...? If so then these are good sources for you to cite. You could then include information about the next plunge at the end of the article about the Plunge, past and present. Hope this is helpful, this is obviously a big and important event and it would be a shame if the article about it came in for criticism unnecessarily. Please just reply here if you want to discuss this further. Kim Dent-Brown ^{(Talk to me)} 18:00, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:PLUNGELOGO.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:PLUNGELOGO.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) 23:42, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
