Seriously, you don't need to welcome me to Wikipedia. This was not at all self-promotion. Just because the tweet was one of mine...

Sup Stew. Didn't even realize it was you. You'll need a source for this 'tweetroll' thing. –

Sorry, that's just part of the template. In the edit history, you wrote "It is an example from me." Pretty sure that counts as self-promotion. Wikipedia is
not for something you made up in a day. Find a
reliable source about "tweetrolling" and then we can discuss adding it in the article. Oh, and
another editor also reverted your additions. —

Come on Stew, you know better than this. Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. –

Yeah, but I just thought that "tweetrolling" is an effective way of

Did you make it up though? For one thing tweetroll is already being used to refer to something else (analagous to a
blogroll) –

Thanks for uploading File:NorthwesternLaw logo.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 "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "

site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:The Sims 3 Ambitions American box art.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:The Sims 3 Ambitions American box art.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by
Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from
Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an
image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with
section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the
media copyright questions page. Thank you.
