Creating articles
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! An article you created, Jane Wells was directly copied from another website. This is not how Wikipedia articles are created. You can use an external link as a reference, but directly copying from another website is considered a copyright violation. I would like to ask if, when creating articles in the future, you write it without copying it from an external website. Thank you! :) -- Isis 4563  14:11, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Barbaragraham mug.jpg}
Thank you for uploading Image:Barbaragraham mug.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Dr dburbank.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Dr dburbank.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) 07:22, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Revert
I brought this sentence back to the Burbank, California article. "The city is also home to Bob Hope Airport. Burbank also holds a special place in aerospace history since Lockheed's Skunk Works in Burbank produced some of the most secret and technologically advanced airplanes, including the U-2 spy planes that uncovered the Soviet Union missile components in Cuba." You thanked me for removing it; nowadays I feel it might deserve to be in the lead, unless if someone reverts. TheGGoose (talk) 15:37, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
