Removing information

It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed content from Talk:Louise Wightman. Please be careful not to remove content from Wikipedia without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Thank you. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 04:50, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Shain ws front.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Shain ws front.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.

Emily Barr

A tag has been placed on Emily Barr, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you feel that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Kranar drogin 03:48, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Shain promo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Shain promo.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Thank you

Thank you for your comment on my talk page, see here. You asked me a question, so I will answer you here. First let me quote your message to me here:

Who made you the official editor of Wikipedia? Can we put this flag icon BS to bed? You will never convince me there there is anything wrong with placing a flag in an info box, regardless of what is stated in the "official rules". I'm not getting into an editing war with anyone. Do me a favor and leave my edits alone and leave my flag icons alone as well. Jbossbarr 08:05, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

In answer to your question; No one has made me the official editor of Wikipedia. I simply saw your edits as an anonymous user see here, and as editor once pointed out to me, I in turn simply pointed it out to you as Wikipedia:Manual of Style (flags), which is a part of Wikipedia:Manual of Style.

Your statement “Do me a favor and leave my edits alone and leave my flag icons alone as well.” Editors do not own those edits, see WP:OWN.

As an editor of wikipedia, which you decided to when you began making edits, is expected to follow the rules and to be civil when communicating with other editors. See Wikipedia:Etiquette and Wikipedia:Civility.

Finally, you signed your message to me as Jbossbarr (see here), yet your edits that I responded to were under the anonymous user 71.232.12.119 (see here). So I will be responding to both accounts. Cheers --Jeanenawhitney (talk) 00:29, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What did you think about the deletion notice you received?

Hi Jbossbarr,

In November you received a message about either "Nomination for deletion" or "Proposed deletion" of an article you created. I'd like to ask you a few quick questions:

Was the message helpful? Were the instructions clear and easy to follow?
If not, how do you think the message could be improved?
What do you think about the deletion process in general? Do you understand how to contest a deletion?

You can feel free to answer on my talk page or send me your response by email (mpinchukwikimedia.org). (I won't quote you or link your answers to your username if you don't feel comfortable with that.) Your feedback is incredibly useful for improving the content of deletion notifications, so please take a minute to think about and answer these questions. Thank you!

Disambiguation link notification for April 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Byfield, Massachusetts, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Prep school (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 19:38, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Shain cu.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Shain cu.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. XXN, 19:15, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
