Poems
In case you don't see the message I left at Talk:To a Mouse:

Thank you for trying to improve the article, but Wikipedia has a standing rule that articles about poems should not contain the entire text of the poem, even if it's out of copyright. This is because Wikipedia, as an encyclopedia, is a collection of articles about things, not a collection of the things themselves.

Wikisource was created specifically to be a place where the text of poems (etc.) could be put. The Wikisource link at the bottom of To a Mouse links to a page on Wikisource where the text of the poem has already been added. --Paul A 02:06, 23 November 2006 --Thats good to know thx paul. (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Alan_Kendall.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Alan_Kendall.png. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image 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 image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image 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 image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image 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 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia Talk  21:44, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:
