I've restored the article content for you at User:Strbenjr/COEBA. Note that using the text to recreate the deleted content is speedyable, and using it to keep it hanging around in your userspace has gotten editors penalized before. I have a problem with restoring the deleted talk page, since it contained whois information about an editor and not much in the way of discussion about the article -- not sure why you'd need it. .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 18:05, 6 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

I think I found what you were looking for and added it to the bottom of the page. Let me know if that's not it. P.S. Its easier to contact me via my talk page. Thanks! .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 18:22, 6 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
Did you look at what I added to the bottom of User:Strbenjr/COEBA? I think that was the stuff you were looking for. .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 18:27, 6 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

OK... so I copied all the article and text out. How do I delete my talk page. I never had one before this so I don't guess I need to keep this one now. (Thanks again) --Ben 18:49, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Do you mean User:Strbenjr/COEBA? If so, I can delete that for you. .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 18:51, 6 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:SITS Hacker-mod.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:SITS Hacker-mod.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. Dark Falls talk 00:58, 29 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Please check my rationale that I just added and let me know if this is a rational rationale. Thanks!Ben 01:32, 29 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
It's a rationale, just not a particularly good one. Take a look at the Non free content criteria, and base your rationale on that. Also take a peak at this image, to see what a rationale should look like. Cheers. --Dark Falls talk 01:43, 29 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fair use disputed for Image:SITS Hacker-mod.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading Image:SITS Hacker-mod.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 18:30, 13 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
