Prof. Buckwald seems a worthy subject for an article, but if you would like the article to remain you must write it in the WP style, which includes:

looking like an encyclopedia article not a CV saying in the first sentence something to demonstrate notability, like "A.b. is professor of X at, winner of the XYZ prize and 10 honorary doctorates" (whatever applies). Use the exact word: "notable" or "internationally-known" or "nationally-known"; do not use "famous" -- May sound silly, but that is what people look for here. not going into disproportionate personal details listing college degrees with university and year -- and putting the university names in double brackets listing important awards listing important memberships and offices held listing books published as formal references style: Author, title, Publisher, year ISBN if possible. listing some major published papers, say how many. and, most important, giving some 3rd party sources. A website at a university etc. can be one, but it cannot be the only one. Book reviews are fine, or a newspaper stories. Print or web is OK, but not from a list or a blog. These is, very unfortunately, prejudice against people from the academic world.

If you do not do this immediately, the article will probably be deleted in a day or two--though not by me. If this happens, just recreate it, but take you time--maybe in a week after careful preparation I apologize for not having the time to help personally. DGG 21:26, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Non-runt_cat.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Non-runt_cat.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 00:04, 8 December 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell (talk) (random) 00:04, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
