Mediation Request

Hi there. Someone has mentioned your name as in a dispute at this page and I have volunteered to mediate the case as part of the Mediation Cabal. Please read the "mediator notes" section of the case page for further instructions. Thank you, GrooveDog (talk) (Review) 02:28, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi! You might be interested in the discussion at Talk:Chronology of events of the 2009 Honduran political crisis#SqueakBox unilaterally changed the name again, even as we were discussing the name change. Thank you. Rico 17:46, 24 July 2009 (UTC) (Using {{Please see}})

Re:Regarding removal of DRMN 01.jpg

Hi Xaliqen. Looking through the deleted edits, I can see what you mean. I see you applied a {{fairuse}} tag to File:DRMN 01.jpg, but that in itself is not valid fair-use rationale per Wikipedia's standards (see WP:FUG and/or this example for instructions/ideas on how to write good fair-use rationale). I might also suggest that you read WP:NFC and WP:IUP. Once you have finished reading the relevant policy pages, please feel free to upload the file again. But remember to include thorough fair-use rationale and a licensing tag. Regards, FASTILY (TALK) 21:32, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

I applied a rationale as per Wikipedia guidelines in effect at the time of my original upload (circa 2005). Since these guidelines have now changed, I suppose new rationale is required. It should be noted, however, that everything was in line with the previous guidelines. --Xaliqen (talk) 10:57, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Original research

"A YouTube video shows blah <ref>YouTube video of blah</ref> is original research and not appropriate. There's nothing wrong with discussing independent coverage of something but on biographies especially we should not be talking about to the week's great viral vidoe sourced direct to the video.

I'm as aware of OR as the next person. That's why I mentioned the section could use better sources and provided them immediately after I added the material back into the article. I never added the youtube references, just the references from The Register and Engadget. I only referenced the notable examples, used often in popular media. The other examples should probably be deleted, but I thought I would leave that up to another Wikipedian. --Xaliqen (talk) 10:36, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
