I see there are Wiki guidelines on how to write about fiction. It says "A plot summary may be appropriate as an aspect of a larger article." Is there anything on how to write about non-fiction? In the biographical article on Anthony de Mello I would like to add a section about some of his writing, summarising and discussing some of the main features of his thinking with short referenced quotes.
I created a page called Category:Nondestructive Testing before I realised my mistake and created another called Category:Nondestructive testing with the proper title case. How do I delete the first one?

Thanks for uploading Image:Ronald McDonald-TV.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 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.

Thank you for doing the leg-work and the research. I do share some AO's sentiments about AA not granting more access to the articles -- definately doesn't seem like HOW. But it was good to see the information he cited put in context. -- Craigtalbert 00:56, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I see that you have removed my photo that I have taken in my NDT shop indicating that it is a commercila photo. I do not understand your point of view. For example is it a commercila photo if you put an Airbus a/c photo in an article? I have installed the photo in order to give the readers an idea about an test tool. As I have no relations with GE other than being an user, I have no purpose such as doing advertaisement of a compony or product. Thanks in advance for your answer back.-- Plenumchamber 11:50, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Davidmack, you posed the following question:
I need to repeat a question from above: The article states that Cutler and Fishbain criticise MATCH based on results from zero-treatment group, and also that Peele accuses MATCH of not having a zero-treatment group. Can someone please explain this? Also, would the person who put in the Cutler and Fishbain critique be willing to add the MATCH rebuttal? Thanks. (Again.) — DavidMack ( talk) 21:46, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't know if this got answered before, but my understanding is that Peele complains that there was not a zero-treatment CONTROL group built into the study so that comparisons could be made about absolute effectiveness of the three treatment groups. This is a complaint about the experimental design, not about the interpretation. However, since the purpose of the study was not to determine absolute effectiveness, I don't understand the complaint. C&F used the dropouts from the various treatment groups, since these subjects were followed as well as the non-dropouts. The main conclusion was that most of the reported effects occurred either after a single treatment or, in many cases after no treatment at all. This is an interesting result to be sure, but I don't know what it means. Desoto10 ( talk) 03:53, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Stress corrosion cracking revealed by magnetic particles.JPG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
