Wrong orientation on your picture
Hi Bradley, i just wanted to say the metadata on your picture is wrong, it says it is oriented 90° counterclockwise while it isn't. -- Thvdburgt (talk) 18:00, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for fixing it -- bkuhn 15:43, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Johan-2006-05-15.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Johan-2006-05-15.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 10:56, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Kelly, I finally got a chance to take care of this. I had in fact properly gotten permission under CC BY-SA from the photographer way back in 2008 &mdash; long before Wikipedia hat OTRS and the like for handling permission collection.  Thus, at the time of upload, I had no ability to provide the licensing information I'd received.  Anyway, I've now reuploaded the image and opened OTRS ticket 2020092710018261 about the permissions. -- bkuhn 20:59, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

September 2020
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at People of Praise. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you. Liz Read!

 * Thanks for sharing this boilerplate text with me, although unfortunately, this boilerplate text does not really describe this situation accurately since there was active discussion on the relevant talk page, which I carefully participated in before making any changes. Also, various edits were made by multiple people to better present the information.  In the end, and some changes were kept and one was removed, and the source I added was also kept.  This did not rise to an edit war as defined here., as there was not even two full reverts, let alone three.  04:15, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, I just saw you readding content that had been removed. These messages are more alerts than threats. See Edit warring for more information. Liz Read! Talk! 04:33, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

RfC on Coral Thiell / People of Praise
I created an RfC on the "People of Praise" article relative to the Coral Thiell situation. Novellasyes (talk) 20:30, 14 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Hey there. I saw that you added a sentence. ("None of these options are particularly good.") Because of where you put that, I'm worried that others won't see it. Would you mind copying-and-pasting it either into Talk:People of Praise or Talk:People of Praise? Then other people who are sifting-and-winnowing their thoughts on this will be more guaranteed to see your perspective. I would do that myself (the copy-and-paste) but I don't think we're supposed to do things like that with people's talk page edits. Novellasyes (talk) 13:35, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
