Main page appearance
Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of this list know that it will be appearing as the main page featured list on January 30, 2012. You can view the TFL blurb at Today's featured list/January 30, 2012. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured list directors, or , or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured list. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks!

 * blurb= The Smithsonian museums are the most widely visible part of the United States' Smithsonian Institution (pictured) and consist of nineteen museums and galleries as well as the National Zoological Park. Eleven of these museums are located on the National Mall, while the remainder are located elsewhere in Washington D.C. as well as New York City and Chantilly, Virginia. The museums have roughly 137 million objects such as works of art, natural specimens, cultural artifacts, etc., in their collections, and are visited by over 25 million people every year. The birth of the Smithsonian Institution can be traced to the acceptance of James Smithson's legacy, willed to the United States in 1826. In 1838, this legacy, which totaled more than $500,000, was delivered to the US Mint and in 1846, the Smithsonian Institution was established. The Institution grew slowly until 1964 when Sidney Dillon Ripley became secretary. Ripley managed, over a twenty year period, to expand the institution by eight museums and upped admission from 10.8 million to 30 million people a year. The newest Smithsonian museum, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, is slated to open in 2015.

Seeking consensus on when to edit File:Samesex marriage in USA.svg following new legislation/court-rulings
Hello, I have noticed you made edits on File talk:Samesex marriage in USA.svg and/or File talk:Samesex marriage in USA.svg/Archive 5, so I am contacting you to take part in a newly-formed discussion at File talk:Samesex marriage in USA.svg as for whether we should update the map directly when a new legislation or court-order hits the books or if we should wait until said action takes effect. Historically, we have been updating the map when the new legislation is signed (or veto overrode or won at the ballot box, etc.), and thus it can be inferred that the consensus is to update as soon as one of those occurs. A discussion has emerged in regards to whether we should begin updating from the effective date instead of from the date of signing/etc. If you have an opinion over this matter please post it at File_talk:Samesex_marriage_in_USA.svg

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Robert Morris and John Chamberlain (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.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Sacred Cod found.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Sacred Cod found.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by 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 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 within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 09:05, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia Help Survey
Hi there, my name's Peter Coombe and I'm a Wikimedia Community Fellow working on a project to improve Wikipedia's help system. At the moment I'm trying to learn more about how people use and find the current help pages. If you could help by filling out this brief survey about your experiences, I'd be very grateful. It should take less than 10 minutes, and your responses will not be tied to your username in any way.

Thank you for your time,

Hi, I made a couple of copy edits to your article and I think it's read to pass, if you agree. Mostly I moved a paragraph and fixed a few editing issues. See my final comment at Talk:Burnside Fountain/GA1

Photo of Gift of the Wind (Porter Square)
Hi Found5dollar, and thanks for your edit to the Porter Sq article. I found the photo of "Gift of the Wind" in the article for "Arts on the Line." I'm not entirely clear what the issue is with the license for the image. Would an original photo I upload be acceptable?--Vistawhite (talk) 04:23, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Vistawhite. There is no problem with the actual photo, the problem is with the artwork. "Gift of the Wind" is still under copyright in the USA so pictures of it are not allowed on Wikipedia unless it is for an article directly about the work. This is explained at WP:NFCI.--Found5dollar (talk) 13:54, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I saw that you're on extended wikibreak here, but I'd like to work on improving this article towards GA and FA, and it won't take much. You did very good work. I will of course include you as a conom in any nomination.--Wehwalt (talk) 09:38, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for letting me know about this. I got the article as far as i could a year or so ago and haven't really touched it since. I havejust recently been having a bit of a wiki breakdown over an article that another editor destroyed, and I just didn't have the time or energy to fight it. I may be back around these parts sooner than I planned. If you need any help feel free to ask.--Found5dollar (talk) 02:01, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, I'd be happy to work with you on it. I've been moving the references to the end to avoid cluttering the text and using cite templates, to which I hope you don't object.  The article needs a little updating, some minor tweak to the prose, and there's some information that I'd like to see if it could be found, like who's filling it while Sen. Kirk is out sick.--Wehwalt (talk) 05:54, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Toronto Light Opera Association
Dear Found5dollar: Some time ago you reviewed the article Toronto Light Opera Association. It was my first article and fI picked a topic (atypically, I have since found out) that many editors were interested in, and I was getting a lot of conflicting advice. I eventually made several trips to a large library and found some microfilmed newspaper reviews to fill out the details about the organization. You offered to take another look at the page when it was more developed. I haven't found anything new to add for a while now, so I guess it's ready if you have the time. Thanks &mdash;Anne Delong (talk) 22:13, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Fitchburg State College Seal.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Fitchburg State College Seal.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 will be useful. However, please note that media 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 "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:19, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Oval Office into List of Oval Office desks. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. --Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:00, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
