User talk:Markgraindorge

Hi, I'm Juliancolton (talk · contribs). I'd like to personally welcome you and thank you for your contributions thus far. As you probably know, Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia collaboratively written entirely by volunteers. If you ever see anything that can be improved—be it correcting a typo or writing a new article—feel free to fix it yourself! Don't worry about making mistakes; one of the many editors will probably notice and quickly correct it. If you have any questions, just place the text {{helpme}} on your talk page, and an administrator will help you shortly. Alternatively, you could join the #wikipedia-en-help IRC channel, where dozens of friendly helpers await. You can find out more about the project here, but I won't bore you with statistics and rules. Just remember to be civil to other editors, to always cite your sources, and to write articles from a neutral point of view, and you should be good to go.

Wikipedia is a huge website; with nearly 3 million articles, it is the single biggest encyclopedia in the world. Additionally, there are thousands of policy and process pages, so it can be a bit overwhelming, even to experienced users. When I was new, I found the Tutorial particularly helpful. You might also want to check out the glossary. The Reference Desk serves as our library reference desk, where you can ask nearly any question imaginable.

The Featured Articles and Good Article pages are good places to look for some of our most well-written and comprehensive articles. On the other end of the spectrum, we have thousands of articles that require cleanup of some sort, so feel free to help out.

I hope you've found this advice helpful. Feel free to contact me for more information. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 18:42, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Outlet office (Complete).jpg[edit]

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Outlet office (Complete).jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:36, 15 September 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 15:36, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Outlet office (Complete).jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Outlet office (Complete).jpg. 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. ww2censor (talk) 15:37, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article:Outlet Property Services[edit]

Hello.

Before you move this article into "mainspace", you might wish to review Wikipedia's notability guidelines, specifically those relating to companies. In a nutshell, they require subjects of articles to have received:

significant coverage; in
reliable sources; that are
independent of the subject.

"Reliable sources" has a specific meaning in this context.

I have reviewed the citations provided for this article, and I don't believe they demonstrate the subject meets the Wikipedia's notability requirements. You may wish to review the links from:

Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

in trying to locate additional coverage.

The article has lots of other issues (it is not formatted to Wikipedia style guidelines, it has promotional material) all of which you may wish to remedy. But they aren't nearly as important to fix before going live—improperly formatted articles don't get deleted, but articles whose subjects aren't demonstrably notable do (often quickly).

Whenever you're ready to take this live, click the "Move" button again, and just move it to "Outlet Property Services", with no prefix (no "Article:", no "User:XXXX/", no nothing).

Happy editing, ^Bongo_matic 10:14, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
