Disambiguation link notification for October 25
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited William J. Ronan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page City Journal. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:14, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Christina and Michelle Naughton 2015.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Christina and Michelle Naughton 2015.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

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. (ESkog)(Talk) 17:22, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. Basically the photo is being provided under a free license, but I'm not sure how to signify that. Will try to work it out tomorrow.Deckoffa (talk) 21:32, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Position of quotation marks
Hello, thanks for your edits to Harold Arlen. However, I have had to undo parts of them because they changed the position of quotation marks in violation of Wikipedia's logical quotation guideline. Graham 87 14:58, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Notice regarding BLP editing
Please err on the side of caution. Neutral material that has long-term significance will eventually be proven as such, but in the meantime there is no need to rush dubious or marginal negative content into any BLP text.

Gary Graffman WP:UNDUE
Your edit summary in which you reinstated undue negative content about Mr. Graffman entails a fallacy of which you may not be aware. Graffman retired from public view quite some time ago. By googling for "news" you would naturally find the only mainstream news item to mention him in recent years.

But Wikipedia biographies are not news articles. If you search on his name in general search, which might be a crude proxy for significant content about his life and career, you will not find this recent matter given undue prominence.

Please undo your reinstatement of this BLP content. If you feel strongly about this, please use the article talk page or BLP Noticeboard to gain consensus for your view.  SPECIFICO talk 15:43, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
