User talk:Fragnal

Hello. I wish to inform you that I have listed the article, Sassan Sanei, under Articles for Deletion. The article appears to be vanity, but there is a possiblity that the subject is notable enough to exist as a Wikipedia article, so I chose not to list under speedy deletions. You are open to comment under the specific AfD entry in order to add "support" or a recommendation to "delete", with specific evidence if you wish. If the subject of the article is yourself, it may be best to post the content of the article under your personal user page. Please visit my user page for a related list of Wikipedia policy links. Of course, don't be discouraged, you are still welcome to edit and post new articles! If you have any questions or comments, please post on my talk page. Thanks!&#160;—  The KMan  talk  08:35, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Humphrey Cobb
Hi, can you tell me your source for Cobb's birth date? The one I used came from his draft card. And thanks for finding his date of death. | Klaw ¡digame! 22:44, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi Klaw. From the New York Times obituary of April 26, 1944: Headline reads in part: Joined Canadians at 17. (I didn't pony up the $3.95 for the entire article.) He signed his draft card September 30, 1916, reportedly at the age of 17, which would put his birth at 1899. I am only speculating here, but if there is a minimum military service age of 18 (I couldn't not confirm this) then perhaps he deliberately put 1898 in order to make himself appear 18 even if he was only 17. That theory would explain the discrepancy. From a discussion group: "Ships passenger lists indicate that Humphrey was born in Siena, Italy Sept 5, 1899." Several other web sites list his year of birth as 1899, among these sites: "Humphrey COBB {US} (M: 1899 - 1944 Apr 25)" and "Humphrey Cobb (1899-1944)", but they do not cite sources. FamilySearch lists his date and place of birth as 05 SEP 1899, Firenze, Italy; note Siena is located near Firenze (Florence).Fragnal 16:06, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Sassan_Sanei_low_resolution.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Sassan_Sanei_low_resolution.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use 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, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 22:06, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
