Poverty in the United Kingdom

I see that you have reverted my edits at Poverty in the United Kingdom. I draw to your attention Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(headings)#Linking:

"Avoid links within headings. Depending on settings, some users may not see them clearly. It is much better to put the appropriate link in the first sentence under the heading."

Also, please note that Conservative Party links to an article about Conservative parties around the world. Conservative Party (UK) is the articl;e that should be linked here. the same goes for Labour Party. The article does not refer to the policies of Labour parties around the world, but only to those of the Labour Party (UK). I encourage you also to review WP:OWN. Thanks. Ground Zero | t 19:33, 26 November 2006 (UTC) Thanks for your note. I only noticed the "in use" tag after I had saved the last edit. Oops. Had I noticed it, I would have left the article alone. Good work on it, by the way. Regards, Ground Zero | t 03:40, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Policy on sound samples, specifically length of excerpts from music

Do we have a policy on the recommended length of sound samples? I would like to add segments of certain tracks to some articles (eg The Bonzo Dog Band). I've looked at Wikipedia:Sound samples but there is no guidance on the matter there. eMusic.com seems to use 25 seconds of a track on its commercial site. I seem to recall Amazon uses about 30 seconds.

Although it's a pain, I would be tremendously grateful if a reply could be posted on my talk page as I'm rather scatter brained and forget where and what I've asked. Many thanks. --bodnotbod 02:52, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

The recommended maximum is 30 seconds or 10% of the length of the piece, whichever is shorter. If you can get the point across by using less, then by all means do so. --Carnildo 06:25, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

The New Statesman

I've never really seen much of this show, and thus don't know a great deal about it, but I saw your note on the talk page of this article asking for some help with it. In case you hadn't spotted it, I thought I'd let you know that there's a Comedy Connections documentary on the series tonight at 10.35 on BBC One — might be a good source for you and any others looking to improve the piece.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Character of the donkey from Shrek 2.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Character of the donkey from Shrek 2.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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. Aksibot 11:01, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:Screenshot of the character Shrek from film Shrek 2.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Screenshot of the character Shrek from film Shrek 2.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr 21:38, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
