License tagging for File:Poetjohnthomas1.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Poetjohnthomas1.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.

File copyright problem with File:Poetjohnthomas1.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Poetjohnthomas1.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is [ a list of your uploads].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:17, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Hyphens
Hi Denicho. I just noticed some of your recent contributions, and thought I should offer some feedback on some aspects, such as using hyphens - I hope you don't mind.

Now, whilst personally, I have considerable respect for the idea of using hyphens for compound nouns, I feel that you & I may be swimming against the tide to some degree, esp. on Wikipedia (WP).

For instance, I would be inclined to insert a hyphen in table-tennis, whereas WP doesn't.

Overall though, I think WP is great, & I'd rather work with it than against it.

So, I've grown accustomed to observing its guidelines at its wp:manual of style (MOS). I don't know whether you're familiar with the latter?

One of these is MOS:HYPHEN.

Prpblems can occur if we change hyphenation. For instance, when you changed the yut article from the prior version to your version, you'll see that you changed the link to board game to the wp:redlink of board-game. The latter link of course then fails (so I've restored the original now).

Problems can ensue with changes to any punctuation other than in general free text. Anywhere that the text is used as part of the syntax - for instance in image names - the syntax fails.

Hope this may help you. If you care to discuss this further, or have any points or queries to raise, then please feel free to raise them, either just below here on your talk page, or on my own talk page.

Thanks for your time. Happy editing and best wishes, --Trafford09 (talk) 12:10, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 31
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Beyond Baroque Literary Arts Center, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Joseph Hansen (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Shanhai Pass
Hey, Denicho. Do you really think the etymology is necessary on Shanhai Pass? I think the name's pretty self-explanatory. To be honest, I dislike how a lot of articles about Chinese subjects devote so many words explaining the literal meaning of the characters instead of actually talking about the subject itself. It just ends up looking so cluttered. Also, as far as the Chinese characters and alternative romanization of the name that you added to the first paragraph, those are already in the infobox. Generally if an article has that info in the infobox, I don't think it's necessary in the lead paragraph. See Deng Xiaoping and Ming dynasty, for example. What do you think? -Difference engine (talk) 04:56, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
