Re:Regarding removal of DRMN 01.jpg

Hi Xaliqen. Looking through the deleted edits, I can see what you mean. I see you applied a {{fairuse}} tag to File:DRMN 01.jpg, but that in itself is not valid fair-use rationale per Wikipedia's standards (see WP:FUG and/or this example for instructions/ideas on how to write good fair-use rationale). I might also suggest that you read WP:NFC and WP:IUP. Once you have finished reading the relevant policy pages, please feel free to upload the file again. But remember to include thorough fair-use rationale and a licensing tag. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 21:32, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

I applied a rationale as per Wikipedia guidelines in effect at the time of my original upload (circa 2005). Since these guidelines have now changed, I suppose new rationale is required. It should be noted, however, that everything was in line with the previous guidelines. --Xaliqen (talk) 10:57, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Original research

"A YouTube video shows blah <ref>YouTube video of blah</ref> is original research and not appropriate. There's nothing wrong with discussing independent coverage of something but on biographies especially we should not be talking about to the week's great viral vidoe sourced direct to the video.

I'm as aware of OR as the next person. That's why I mentioned the section could use better sources and provided them immediately after I added the material back into the article. I never added the youtube references, just the references from The Register and Engadget. I only referenced the notable examples, used often in popular media. The other examples should probably be deleted, but I thought I would leave that up to another Wikipedian. --Xaliqen (talk) 10:36, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
