Jack Lalane Photo
Lorax hi and thanks ! I got your message regarding the Jack Lalane photo. I will poke around and try to find a photo, that is public domain and that is more worthy of probably one of the healthiest person to walk the planet. --SaturdayNightSpecial (talk) 19:49, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Edmund G. Brown Jr. to "Jerry Brown"
Am curious, is there a reason why you changed Edmund G. Brown Jr. to "Jerry Brown" on the O'Keefe page? 67.132.250.50 (talk) 19:07, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I changed it as that's the name he is more recognized by, just like Bill Clinton is technically William Jefferson Clinton, but for clarity, he's Bill Clinton.--The lorax (talk) 19:12, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Russertmarkerboard.jpeg
Thank you for uploading File:Russertmarkerboard.jpeg. 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. +Angr 14:04, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 21:46, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Billy Hallowell


The article Billy Hallowell has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.  ttonyb (talk) 21:28, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Cartoonsushi.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Cartoonsushi.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use.

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 '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.

Wikipedia Ambassador Program at MSU
Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you're listed as a Wikipedian associated with Michigan State University. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at MSU, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone in the East Lansing area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 20:28, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Reykjavik sound.ogg
Thank you for uploading File:Reykjavik sound.ogg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jesse Heiman


A tag has been placed on Jesse Heiman requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.  ttonyb (talk) 05:11, 17 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Re your message: When you created the article for Jesse Heiman, you did not include that reference in the article. As the article was when it was deleted, there was no claim to notability nor any references at all.  You are welcome to recreate the article with the included reference. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 21:48, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Your contributed article, Michael Jackson's Thriller


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Michael Jackson's Thriller. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - [[Michael Jackson and Thriller]]. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at [[Michael Jackson and Thriller]] - you might like to discuss new information at Talk:[[Michael Jackson and Thriller|the article's talk page]].

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Mjs1991 (talk) 11:48, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:CNN Health Care Decsion.png)
Thanks for uploading File:CNN Health Care Decsion.png. 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 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.

Deletion discussion about Adrian Chen
Hello, The lorax,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Adrian Chen should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/Adrian Chen.

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks, -- Eclipsed (talk) (COI Declaration) 11:45, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 19
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Marco Rubio, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Rachel Maddow Show (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) 11:20, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ari Melber


The article Ari Melber has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. j⚛e deckertalk 05:07, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Unspecified source/license for File:RayRicePunchingJanayPalmer.png
Thanks for uploading File:RayRicePunchingJanayPalmer.png. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like PD-self (to release all rights), (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy

Thanks!
Thanks for finding the Ferris Bueller trailer. Didn't have the page watchlisted or I'd have thanked you sooner, very nice. Appreciated. Randy Kryn 6:28 18 November, 2014 (UTC)

Excellent Call
Thanks for switching the Garofalo photo! I'd been wanting to do that myself but I've always gotten static, people switching photos back, and so on, so I didn't do so with Garofalo. I think she's far enough under the radar that it's going to be doable, thouigh, and it's a much, much more flattering photograph taken at the same photo shoot. Thanks again!

Mermaid biology
As set out at Proposed deletion, proposed deletion may be used only if the article "has not previously been proposed for deletion, has not been undeleted, [and] has not been and is not being discussed at AfD." Mermaid biology (under an earlier title) has been through AfD (Articles for deletion/Mermaid problem),as well as an MfD (Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:ChildofMidnight/Mermaid problem) and has been previously prodded and deprodded, so WP:PROD is no longer available. In my opinion there's sufficient sources to justify keeping this content either in a separate article or as part of mermaid, but other opinions may differ, and you are certainly welcome to take it to AfD if you want. --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:54, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
