[edit] Gary Howell

Why is this guy not notable? Has been on US National and Japanese National TV as a recognized credit card fraud expert. Is hired to speak on credit card fraud around the US. Has been on US National TV and in US National Car Magazines as a recognized car builder. Has been recognized by the US Small Business adminstration as an exporter of the year in 2003. Has recieved the Ronald Reagan medal from the NRCC. Was named one of the top 40 West Virginian's under 40 by the State Journal and Marshall University. Been on the front page of the Wall Street Journal. How well known do you need to be? --141.157.157.105 19:18, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Mainly because I never heard of him. And then I read the article which sounds self-promotional. Usually that makes people doubt the how notable the events are. I thought the living next door to John Kruk didn't help. You click on that article and the trivia says he lived next do to Gary Howell. The contrast between the two people's notability was the kicker. Anyway if you get elected I will support your article. --MarsRover 03:01, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kahuta Research Laboratories logo

Typically yes, a fair-use case can be made for most logos. Unfortunately, the editor who uploaded the file uploaded around 80 files and claimed they were his work, released under the public domain or GFDL. He was also found to be violating other copyrights by pasting text from other websites into articles. Generally, it was a big mess, and most of his contributions were undone, including deleting those images. You're welcome to re-upload the logo, or if you can't find it, I save a copy of any image I delete, so I can locate it and reupload it if need be. Just let me know. Thanks. .:.Jareth.:. ^babelfish 13:06, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] El Modena, California

Didn't you read my rewrite? At least according to my sources, El Modena, California is an unincorporated enclave within the city of Orange. I know that Orange County is trying to get rid of all of those oddball areas, but there are still some of them around. ^Blank ^Verse 21:05, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Is my latest rewrite an improvement? ^Blank ^Verse 07:07, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

There doesn't seem to be any sort of govt. recognition of boundaries for El Molino that I can find (i.e., no Census, no Post Office, no city of Orange) or even any sort of homeowner's association. I did found an interesting 1952 AAA map online showing the old city boundaries, and El Modena seems to be the inhabited area east of the city of Orange [1]. At that time, the eastern boundary looks like it was what is now Rancho Santiago Blvd. You can see on the map where the Southern Pacific's El Modena Station was located. ^Blank ^Verse 08:22, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Seal SantaAna.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Seal SantaAna.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
