You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

Hi Skier Dude. I did have the image in the article Annabeth Robinson. But since uploading it I have decided that I am unable to completely 100% declare it's free use. I've tried to find some sort of license for it but can only assume that since it is a screen shot of work created on the Multi User Virtual Environment Second Life, that it must belong to them. I'm more than happy to delete it myself if needs be. But will also be happy to allow it to be deleted by someone else. I'm really sorry for any confusion caused, I am a newbie to Wikipedia. Thanks for the post. FrederickJPorter (talk) 06:04, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

Please don't question the motivations of experienced volunteer editors who try to enforce the notability standards here on Wikipedia. Those are the very standards that have allowed the success of a collaborative volunteer project that has created 3.8 million free encyclopedia articles in English, and millions more in other languages. This is the 5th most popular website in the world, and we've achieved that visibility because we have standards. Our rules aren't that hard to learn to play by. Study and follow our policies and guidelines, and you too, can be a productive contributor to the world's greatest encyclopedia. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 04:40, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya! I'm sorry, I'm not sure that I understand what instance you might be talking about. I'm really sorry if I've offended in anyway. Could you please explain what you mean. Thanks, FrederickJPorter (talk) 04:55, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your comment didn't offend me, but I thought it deserved a response. I was referring to your remark on the Annabeth Robinson talk page: "Hey Friend! That looks good, we will have to chop it down a bit as it's a bit long. I'm having a bit of luck finding stuff on google scholar. Just reading about her whiteboard and her new 'handsUp' chair that she created. Really done a lot. It's a wonder how her notability was questioned."
