Deletion nomination retracted
Just thought I'd let you know, I've retracted my deletion nominations after I completed a more in depth review of your edits and your global contributions. Sorry for any inconveniences I may have caused. I've also looked at your course page, and I agree that this project would be beneficial to Wikipedia. Once again, sorry for any trouble. Also, if your students have any questions or need any help, they're free to message me on my talk page or use of the helpme template to get help. Thanks for your contributions, and happy editing!

 * No problem. Thanks for the note.  --dave pape (talk) 12:01, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Deleted the images you disputed
On my talk page you contested two images I inserted in the article "University Village, Chicago". I have now deleted them. This was the first article into which I inserted images so its frustrating to have to delete them but the exercise has been very educative so thanks for taking the time to explain the issues for me.

Don't understand how to add copyright info
Dave, I see you marked my photo of Valentina Tereshkova for deletion. That's my own photo of a print from the Soviet 1963 original. I think it's safe to call that public domain, right? How do I add that tag? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joshua A.C. Newman (talk • contribs) 08:24, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Recent image deletion
Per, if you used that rationale then all the images of pre-1923 published books would have to be deleted. Are you sure this is policy? If so, could you please post these policies to relevant wikiprojects such as WikiProject Novels. Since you didn't, I will, but this effects the book people greatly, so let's talk about it. Thanks.
