660av floppy drive
Every Centris 660av I’ve seen had the old floppy drive, but if you have information showing that some Centrises have the second floppy drive, then by all means that’s what the article should say. I did a quick Google image search, but I couldn’t find any images which had the second drive but were definitely Centrises. I do know that no Quadra 660av had the auto-inject version.

American museums lists
Hi Ben. Can't believe it is nearly a year since we split the lists. Just checked up on them and I'm very happy to see they are now looking more like I has envisaged and I;m glad you kept the tables and templates which I implemented. Hope you are well The Bald One      White cat 19:06, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Nonlinear asymptote.svg
Thanks for uploading Image:Nonlinear asymptote.svg. 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
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by STBotI. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 18:50, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Checking in
It's been a while...how you been? FieldMarine (talk) 00:39, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Hello. I am busy lately, but doing okay.  I can't really justify working on the list of museum articles anymore because of so many other things that have precedence, but I'm glad I was able to do what I did.  I think we made some great changes and added huge amounts of information.   Ben Boldt  20:47, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

File source problem with File:USA CIA Map.svg
Thank you for uploading File:USA CIA Map.svg. 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, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
