Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the
external links you added to the page
The Steve Biko Foundation do not comply with our
guidelines for external links and have been removed.
Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for
advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses
nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the
article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the
welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Memorial_Book.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse ( talk) 22:52, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi Biko Legacy, Welcome to Wikipedia. It's good to see the The Steve Biko Foundation article on WP. It's important the the article meets the basic rules. The article must contain no original research, fully referenced by third party sources and be written in a neutral way without bias.
You might want to get a helping hand by looking at an example of how to structure an article and what a great article looks like; they flag up some key factors, and pitfalls to avoid, in building the article - these apply to all articles on WP, not just one about the Foundation. Although they are an ideal to aim for, rather than the achievement to reach for today, they give a sense of the ethos behind Wikipedia as an encyclopaedia and learning resource foremost.
The article might feature sections including:
I hope this helps. I am not an expert but please feel free to post any questions or comments on my talk page here. Best wishes and good luck Spanglej ( talk) 19:30, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
