Unspecified source for Image:Gray0005 tn.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Gray0005 tn.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 01:55, 12 June 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. - SCEhard T 01:55, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:25, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Eighteenth-Century Poetry Archive
You should have tested the link first. The site does not allow a direct link to the poet concerned from WP so your additions are too confusing. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 13:59, 29 September 2016 (UTC)


 * I don't understand your comment, what about an external link is confusing? Can you elaborate? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alhuber (talk • contribs) 14:14, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

You listed the 18th Century Poetry Archive as an External Link on several Wikipedia pages. However, when you click there, you are directed simply to an article on Charles Churchill. I know you probably took the right URL from the section on each poet but the stupid site does not seem to allow such a direct link. Go back and try it on some of the pages you edited (I have just reverted the last three). If the site is going to be so reader-unfriendly, it should not be highlighted.

Oh, and another thing. When you leave a message on a talk page, remember to sign it by typing 4 tildes (~) after it. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 15:42, 29 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the advice. I think I see now: the first link (that of the poet's name) directs to the specific site of the poet, while the latter link directs to the homepage of the resource.  Should I not have included the link to the homepage then? Is that the confusion? Alhuber 18:07, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Well done! You have done what I failed to do with the two edits that I reverted. Now you have to go back and make the same kind of change for every other External Link you have made to that site so that it links to the information on the poet in question. I see there are quite a few.

And another point. You need to inset a reply by typing in a colon before it. Go to Edit and take a look at the format I have given your replies. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 18:59, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
