Fairlie, North Ayrshire: copyright violation[edit]

Dear Gdhk, thank you for your interest in the article on Fairlie, North Ayrshire, but I see that the text of your "major rewrite" came from an article at http://www.fairlieburne.co.uk/fairlie.htm. Please be aware that it is not an option to simply copy and paste text from other websites. To do so is usually illegal and detrimental to the quality and integrity of Wikipedia. It's OK to extract the facts but they should be expressed in your own words. Failing that, the article can be linked to as an "External link". See Wikipedia:Copyrights. Best wishes, Flapdragon 14:26, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Ieuan Evans UP.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Ieuan Evans UP.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 (talk) 23:21, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
