editPlease do not add nonsense to the articles. Thank you. DS 16:04, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, two points. Firstly, you shouldn't blank your talk page to remove warnings, even if the warnings were in error.
- Secondly, I concede that the warning was in error; you were reverting vandalisms, and this diff made it look like you had added one of your own, but in fact that was simply a vandalism that you missed and which was removed by the next editor. I apologize for having hurt your feelings; you were not doing anything wrong.

editWhen you add a comment to a talk page, it's usually best to add it at the bottom, not the top. DS 16:39, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Orphaned fair use image (Image:TW logo color.jpg)
editThanks for uploading Image:TW logo color.jpg. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).
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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Replaceable fair use Image:Manc-apollo.jpg
editThanks for uploading Image:Manc-apollo.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell (talk) (random) 14:03, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

editIn your edit [1] you changed 'native resolution' to 'aspect ratio'. This I believe to be incorrect terminology, since an aspect ratio is... well... a ratio.
Also the editor who made the initial edit placed a notice: "If you want to add 1080p, make sure you have a reliable source that states its _native_ resolution is 1080p, not that it upscales to it. Forums are not reliable." which you erased. I'm 90% sure that MGO has no 1080p or 1080i support as you have indicated except via upscaling. -Rushyo (talk) 22:40, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Hp-mini-311c.jpg
editThanks for uploading or contributing to File:Hp-mini-311c.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) 16:10, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
