Alliance for Young Artists & Writers
You keep removing the "One source" tag from Alliance for Young Artists & Writers. Please leave it there until I remove it. The purpose of the tag is to invite other editors to come and help improve the article. There are editors who like to improve articles. They look for articles that need to be "wikified", or could use better quality writing, or could use more references. The tag places the article in a category where editors look to choose an article to improve. Leaving the tag increases the likelihood that some other editor will come help improve the article.

The article currently is sourced only from the subject's own web site. It would be much better if it had sources from independent, third-parties. It also would be better to have inline footnotes for each section of the article. I expect that there are lots of independent sources that have written something about the awards. You could help by adding information from other sources, not just from the Alliance's own web site.

On Talk:Alliance for Young Artists & Writers I asked if the organization has any activities other than the Scholastic awards. If you know of any other activities it would be helpful if you answered on the Talk page or inserted information to the article itself.

I note that you have uploaded an image but that you did not satisfy all of Wikipedia's requirements for images. Wikipedia's rules are a bit tricky and if you don't follow them, the image will be deleted. I am not an expert on images so I recommend that you ask at the WP:Help desk what else you should do with that image so that it won't be deleted.

There is a lot to learn about Wikipedia but there are lots of people willing to help. If you have any questions, ask me or at the Help desk. Sbowers3 (talk) 01:42, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:1923 Submissions.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:1923 Submissions.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:25, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
