Your request to create an article on Edson Hendricks
Hello George. I see you've been working on an article draft:


 * User:George.McQuilken/Edson Hendricks

I removed your request to make this be an article from WP:RM for now, but you are clearly on the right track. The subject of your article, Edson Hendricks, seems to have enough written about him to make him notable. Some of your references do not work -- can you please fix them. The IBM Journal of Research and Development link only goes to the main page of the journal, and does not point to any material concerning Hendricks. Your assertion that Vinton Cerf et al adopted Hicks' connectionless approach makes him sound like a very important contributor to the internet. If this is true, Cerf and others would surely have published things that mention Hendricks. Sourcing important claims to Hendricks' own work might not be enough; you might want to have third-party comments that testify to the value of his work. When your article goes live, people may be asking about this. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for your contribution to Wikipedia. EdJohnston (talk) 18:22, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Ed Hendricks.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:Ed Hendricks.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please 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.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. 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 ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Morgan Kevin J (talk) 14:35, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Ed Hendricks.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:Ed Hendricks.JPG. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to , stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to .

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Musamies (talk) 13:37, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

IBM Type-III Library
Hi George, I noticed your additions to Cambridge Scientific Center and your new articles on RSCS and Edson Hendricks. It's great to see more new articles appear in this very important period of computing systems. I am wondering whether you might be able to assist with the development of the article on the IBM Type-III Library. Regards, John Vandenberg (chat) 14:08, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

I have a pretty clear memory of all this but it might take me a while to track down some actual references. Let me test the memories of some of my colleagues. George.McQuilken (talk) 22:07, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
