Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Car on Aluminum Platter Turntable.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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Thanks for uploading Image:Car on Aluminum Platter Turntable.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 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 06:24, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Car on Aluminum Turntable.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles. Advertising, and using Wikipedia as a " soapbox", is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Bfigura ( talk) 17:08, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Carspin, you will be blocked from editing. Bfigura ( talk) 17:11, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

This is your last warning.
The next time you
use Wikipedia for advertising, as you did with
CarSpin, you will be
blocked from editing.

Hi there. Actually, there are several good reasons why your pages have been deleted.
Now, if you think that your company has received sufficient (non-trivial) coverage from independent reliable sources (as defined by WP:RS), then I'd be glad to help you create an article here. Best, -- Bfigura ( talk) 20:23, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Not sure. A WSJ mention should help, but the fact that it's pseudo-advertising isn't great. If you add in the new reference, you could try, but I think it's about 50/50. You could try marking it as a stub (see WP:STUB), and leaving a note on the talk page that you're trying to improve the page, and that you'd welcome suggestions. Also, since you're genuinely trying to contribute here, it probably wouldn't hurt if you had a user page (see WP:USER). It'll help position you as a genuine contributor rather than some spammer person. Best, -- Bfigura ( talk) 23:08, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on User:Alanbkahn, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{
hangon}}
on the top of the article and leave a note on [[Talk:User:Alanbkahn|the article's talk page]] explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any
citations from
reliable sources to ensure that the article will be
verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.
