1935 Labor Day hurricane
Hey there Bcrford!

I first off want to thank you for all the hard work you've put into improve the 1935 Labor Day hurricane article. Your efforts on this historic hurricane are greatly appreciated by all. However, after skimming through some of what you've done I noticed that a lot of the citations do not comply with the Wikipedia Manual of Style. While it's great that you're providing verification of the content you're adding (it's immensely appreciated actually, since it makes the job of other editors easier), but citations linking to Flickr and Wikipedia itself are improper. Additionally, you may have noticed that I removed all of the in-line external links. This was done in compliance with WP:MOS. You may also want to read up on verifiability procedures to familiarize yourself with additional aspects of how citations are handled.

Please take a read through the policies and procedures of the site before continuing on with your wonderful work on the 1935 Labor Day hurricane. If you need any additional help, feel free to drop a message on my talk page and I'll be glad to assist.

Best regards, Cyclonebiskit (talk) 04:10, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Report to President Roosevelt on 1935 Labor Day Hurricane, dated Sept. 8, 1935.pdf


A tag has been placed on File:Report to President Roosevelt on 1935 Labor Day Hurricane, dated Sept. 8, 1935.pdf requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F10 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file that is not an image, sound file or video clip (e.g. a Word document or PDF file) that has no encyclopedic use.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Orphaned non-free image File:Act of God, Editorial Cartoon by Russel T. Limbach, The New Masses, September 17, 1935, Page 3.tiff
Thanks for uploading File:Act of God, Editorial Cartoon by Russel T. Limbach, The New Masses, September 17, 1935, Page 3.tiff. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:23, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:09, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

== File is readable considering it is 83 years old and typed. If this is a problem try enlarging it. It is relevant to the 1935 Hurricane page as it illustrates the confusion existing over who owned the burial plot at Woodlawn Park Cemetery and therefore responsible for marking the graves therein.

 * , the file has been moved to Wikimedia Commons. I'm unsure why the image was proposed for deletion. – The Grid  ( talk )  22:04, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
