Orphaned non-free image (File:SAP Ready Logo.jpg)

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:SAP Ready Logo.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 "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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 05:46, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Smart Board

Hi. Please do not remove citation request tags from articles unless you can provide the request sources, or otherwise explain a valid rationale for the tags' removal, as you did with this edit to Smart Board. While you did indeed add some sources to the article, you also removed fact tags without providing sources.

In addition, if you're going to cite an episode of a TV show like Mythbusters, it is best to provide the full citation for that episode (title, season number, episode number, airdate, etc.), and not simply link to a hosted video on a social networking site like Facebook, since social networking sites are problematic, in terms of their reliability.

It is also not a good idea for an article to rely too heavily on sources published by parties that are too close to or not independent of the subject. You added a number of cites to sources published by SMART Technologies, which is inappropriate. Secondary sources are needed instead.

Lastly, please do not cite other Wikipedia articles as sources in a given one, as this is circular sourcing. Thank you. Nightscream (talk) 22:12, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
