Copy and paste moves
Hi there, welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here. However, please do not copy and paste the contents of articles to move them to new titles, as this destroys the edit history. If you cannot move a page because another page exists at that title, use the process at Wikipedia:Requested moves. For more on moving pages, please see Wikipedia:How to rename (move) a page. Thanks.--SB | T 00:45, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, it's possible, but only administrators have the ability to delete pages.--SB | T 02:14, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
Well I followed the page delete procedure so I guess we'll have to wait and see. --Marhawkman 03:09, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Debate in the WikiProject Dragon Quest
Hello, since you're a member of the project, I thought I'd inform you of a debate currently taking place over there. It is about whether we should use the name Slime MoriMori Dragon Quest or Dragon Quest Heroes for the slime spin-off series of the franchise. There are currently not enough people involved to actually reach a clear consensus, so you are invited to read the discussion here and here and give your opinion on the question. Thank you!

Fair use rationale for Image:DaysPast Wuya.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:DaysPast Wuya.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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. Jay32183 01:29, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:LiannaOmegaMen.jpg
I have tagged Image:LiannaOmegaMen.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. Videmus Omnia 22:18, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

RE: List of villains in Ben 10
Erm, I'm not quite sure what you're talking about. Do you have a diff of this revert? You Can't See Me! 18:30, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
- Nevermind. I found it and fixed it. That was just an accident; the edit that placed the explanation there got mixed in with the other load of edits that were reverted. You Can't See Me! 18:48, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
RE:List of Characters in Ben 10
Hello, Marhawkman. Thank you for asking me politely; I was sorta' scared that I'd start recieving the same sort of flames that Durin took on a daily basis.
Anyways, there has been something of a movement against the overuse of nonfree images recently on Wikipedia, the results of which can be seen mostly in list articles such as List of Konoha ninja. The reasoning behind this is that approximately 20% of Wikipedia's articles had at least one non-free image, which contradicts Wikipedia's purpose as a free encyclopedia.
Please see User:Durin/Fair use overuse explanation for more details. Durin has thought his position through and provided a lengthy explanation to justify these removals. Again, I'm not nearly as strict about this as Durin was, so don't worry about every image being wiped out; I (along with others) am just trying to carry out his cause, as he won't be around to carry it out himself anymore. Please understand that this is an attempt to enforce Wikipedia's underregulated Fair Use policy and not just removal for the sake of it.
If you still have questions, feel free to contact me again either on my user page or at the centralized discussion about Ben 10's images. Regards, You Can't Review Me!!! 03:04, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
Disputed fair use rationale for Image:LiannaOmegaMen.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:LiannaOmegaMen.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 17:04, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Fictional elements, materials, isotopes and atomic particles
I just wanted to say, keep on truckin'. At most deletion of the article would be a slippery slope, at least it'd be a shame to lose such a large, interesting article. Kevin 03:42, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:DaysPast Wuya.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:DaysPast Wuya.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.

- All images need a fair use rationale besides the template. See WP:FU. NASCAR Fan24(radio me!) 23:05, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
- The above is why they fail. Using, for example, {{Non-free television screenshot}} alone does not constitute a fair use rationale. You must accompany the image with an explanation about why it qualifies as fair use. A good example is at Image:Omi.jpg. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to leave another note on my talkpage. Thanks. NASCAR Fan24(radio me!) 23:10, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
- Yes they do require the explanation to be in that form. {{Di-no fair use rationale}} and WP:FURG (sorry, pointed you to the wrong place) both say that the boilerplate template on its own does not constitute a fair use rationale. NASCAR Fan24(radio me!) 23:15, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
- Whoops, I saw that there was a template added to the top. Never mind, that does count as a rationale. I thought you were talking about {{Non-free television screenshot}}, which by itself does not count as a rationale. NASCAR Fan24(radio me!) 23:25, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

fictional chemicals
As you commented on the fictional elements AfD, you might be interested in the one of fictional chemicals just below it, which has attracted less attention. You'll decide by yourself if it merits the same consideration. DGG (talk) 13:57, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- Looked combined, but in fact was done separately. Way it works, if you want the comments considered, you have to repeat them, at least in summary. A closing admin should consider them together, but don't count on it. WP is not strong on consistency. 21:42, 9 October 2007 (UTC) it's at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fictional chemical substances, A-M; your original is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fictional elements, materials, isotopes and atomic particles
- and I see an even more drastic one at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fictional applications of real materials, I will go there now to comment. DGG (talk) 22:06, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Ben 10 images
Please see Talk:Ben 10#images for my best explanation. Personally, I had already removed as much as I thought was necessary beforehand. Now that Betacommand got to the images, though, I suppose it's best to go along with it. Pokemon creature and Naruto-related articles, two topics that I regularly edit, have been having this same problem for a while now. You Can't See Me! 02:15, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
