Welcome!
(All the blue words are clickable links that will take you directly to a page or section.) Hello, BrianRiley! I welcome a lot of new school page authors to Wikipedia, and I would like to thank you for your contribution. Unfortunately, the page you created, at Cooper Middle School (California), is a primary (elementary) school  or a middle school and as such  it  does not meet Wikipedia requirements at school page guidelines, and will  soon  be merged to  the page about  itsschool  district. I hope you'll continue to  contribute to  school  articles, so you'll want to read up on Your First Article and check out: If you are stuck, you can ask a question on the school project talk page or you can even ask me on my talk page. I hope you'll stay around and even help out on some other school project tasks. Happy editing! Kudpung (talk) 03:17, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

If articles by these Fresno Bee writers discuss Cooper Middle School in depth, then please provide lengthy quotations from the article to show that. Even if you can demonstrate that these articles discuss the school in depth, we still have the problem that they were published in the same newspaper, and we need multiple independent sources discussing the topic in depth. Personally, I don't consider articles in a single newspaper to be multiple sources. I have a high threshold for going against our usual practice of not creating articles about primary and middle schools. Please disclose any personal involvement you may have, per WP:COI. Thank you.

File permission problem with File:William C Stokoe Jr.tif

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 .

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as 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.

License tagging for File:William john cooper academy.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:William john cooper academy.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.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 02:05, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Reply: Why on earth are you so quick on the draw to criticize so harshly? It was a simple oversight. I thought it applied to anyone. Please exercise more restraint in your criticism. BrianRiley (talk) 22:39, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Sourcing requirements for biography articles
Hello, I'm Ponyo. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. 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! -- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 23:00, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Please wait until there is a verified reliable published source confirming the death. Continuing to add a death date without a published source violates our policies regarding living persons.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 23:14, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

BrianRiley (talk) 04:41, 24 April 2018 (UTC)I did give the KCSM-FM radio station as a reference, and that is a source that is "made available to the public in some form." You could have simply called them to verify that they information was broadcast.

Disambiguation link notification for August 20
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Robert Sanderson, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page National Association of the Deaf ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Robert_Sanderson check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Robert_Sanderson?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Barbara Kannapell moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Barbara Kannapell, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia).
