Speedy deletion of Fort Toulouse

A tag has been placed on Fort Toulouse requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. jonny-m t 08:11, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to edit the article to remove the plagiarism; you'll most likely have a good bit of time to do this (copyvios are deleted fairly slowly for this reason...I think), and if it's improved to where it's no longer a copyright violation the reviewing admin, myself, or any other editor is likely to remove it. Good luck! --jonny-m t 08:12, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article has now been deleted. If you would like to re-create it, please use your own words, citing (but not copying) reliable sources. Thanks for contributing. Kafziel ^{Ask me for rollback} 08:34, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:AL National Emergency Service Ribbon.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:AL National Emergency Service Ribbon.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file 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 file 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 '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 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. Radiant chains (talk) 08:04, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
