Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ethan Vaughan
Please do not edit content that has been marked "archived". You may want to create such content in your sandbox to avoid having to rush creating the article. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 09:12, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

November 2012
Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ethan Vaughan without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, Jim1138 (talk) 09:23, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Deletion request
If you want to delete your own recently created article (that nobody else has extensively added to) put   on the first line of the page. This streamlines the deletion process and avoids having to get others involved. No need for an wp:afd. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 09:30, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Ethan Vaughan
Suggest creating the article in your sandbox such as User:BlueBorealis/Ethan Vaughan this will avoid the problem of having to instantly create the article. Also will avoid the rapid appearance of speedy deletion templates appearing at the top of the page. I.e. you can edit it in peace. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 09:35, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
 * If you do make a mistake creation in the (article) namespace, you simply apply db-author. Under no circumstances do you go messing with an AfD discussion which was closed six years ago. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:50, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Eyres' Laughton Manor.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Eyres' Laughton Manor.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NtheP (talk) 14:00, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Henry Vaughan (slaveholder)
Thanks for adding the Henry Vaughan article. I wanted to make an edit to the article, but wanted to contact you first. I don't believe he was the largest slaveholder (see ). Also, I was only able to find the online edition of the book you cited. All I could find was that Henry Vaughan, Sr., (1800 – 1870) was an American plantation owner born in South Carolina, who moved to Yazoo County, Mississippi where he grew cotton and held 293 slaves (page 471). You had added "he died in Vaughan, Mississippi, which he founded, five years after the cessation of hostilities." What page was this on? Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 13:13, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
