License tagging for File:Pullman 209 extralarge.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Pullman 209 extralarge.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

Speedy deletion nomination of Apollo the Dog


Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that Apollo the Dog, a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It is unambiguous vandalism or an obvious hoax. (See section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please do not introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia. Doing so is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.
 * It appears to be about something made up, and 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. (See section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

 * If this is correct, and I suspect it is given your post here, please don't ever do anything like it again. If you'd like to show students how to edit Wikipedia, ensure that the article is a valid encyclopedic entry or, better still, use the Sandbox or some other kind of training environment.

Hello, I'm DannyS712. An edit you recently made to List of Old Main buildings seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DannyS712 (talk) 06:51, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
