Wikimedia Commons has a specific scope

---

Thank you for your contributions. Your image or other content was recently deleted, or will soon be deleted, in accordance with our process and policies, because it was not, or is not, within our scope. Please review our project scope, but in short, Commons is targeted at educational media files including photographs, diagrams, animations, music, spoken text and video clips. The expression “educational” is to be understood according to its broad meaning of “providing knowledge; instructional or informative”. Wikimedia Commons does not contain text articles like encyclopedia articles, textbooks, news, word definitions and such. Each of these other kinds of content have their own projects: Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikinews, Wiktionary and Wikiquote.

If the content seems to fit the scope of one of those other projects, please consider contributing it there. If you think that the deletion was in error because the contribution really was in scope, you can appeal it at Commons:Undeletion requests, giving a reason why it fits our scope to help others evaluate the matter. Thank you for your understanding.  Herby ^{talk thyme} 07:00, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi & thanks for it. We try and keep communication on wiki so that others can follow the thread of conversations here.

Firstly I think there has been a glitch in the notification of the message here - the servers have been playing up. I deleted your user page which is intended to be about you as a user not to promote a business. It would appear that you wish to place a link to the company again - this would probably be deleted. The company is not a user here & the pages may not be used for promotional purposes I'm afraid. This project is about hosting educational/encyclopaedic images solely.
