I just wanted to mention you might have been better off with the template rather than the attack one you used. It wasn't clearly an attack, at least in my eyes. Do you agree?

A Reminiscence
I removed the speedy tag you added to A Reminiscence and replaced it with copy to wikisource. They don't have any of Anne Brontë's poetry, so a transwiki seems better than outright deletion. Best regards, Angus McLellan (Talk) 15:46, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

you're right
I was misreading the story! Thanks! Yellowbuddy 15:37, 16 April 2007 (UTC)Yellowbuddy

Cleanup templates
Just to let you know that most cleanup templates, like "unreferenced", "fact", "cleanup" etc., are best not "subst"ed. See WP:SUBST for more details. Regards, Rich Farmbrough, 12:20 20 June 2007 (GMT).

Nice job with the Watergate Scandal
I have been doing a lot of work lately on articles related to the Watergate Scandal. I have been feeling very much alone in this effort as many of the important ones have not been contributed to in any significant manner in over a year. If you are a fan of this subject and interested in working together in cleaning up some of these articles, I would love some help. If not, thanks again for your time. All the best... Ukulele 02:54, 25 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply! If you have a moment, take a look at the talk page for the Watergate Burglaries, specifically this section.  This article may be a good place to start, as it is referenced as the main article for the Watergate break-in section of June 17, 1972 on the main Watergate article, yet the only information present is a reference to it and the date.  User Hnsampat has also recently expressed an interest in this problem.  If you haven't taken to the bottle after reading that article and the talk page, then perhaps you could suggest some clean-up and organizational ideas for the main Watergate article, on which I have been lately trying to clean up.  There are so many individual articles about this complex event and many of them completely lack citation of sources.  I have a pretty decent library on Watergate and will slowly be adding missing cites, and tweaking articles here and there.  If there is a specific aspect of the scandal you find most interesting, I would be happy to meet you there-- most likely it at least needs some citations :) Ukulele 04:56, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks GhostPirate. I have really thrown down the gauntlet with this challenge.  I would greatly appreciate any help for which you may have time.  All the best, Ukulele 06:50, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Good catch with adding the to the Senate Investigation Section on the Watergate article. Ukulele 21:44, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Wow! I love the lead image to the Watergate article. I didn't realize how naked it looked before. Thanks for adding the statement and citation regarding the criticism of Ford's pardon of Nixon and the political consequences for Ford. I also liked the way you wrapped up the section with Ford's justification of his pardon. I feel that one could make a strong argument that history indeed agrees that it was just a matter of when Ford would have to Pardon Nixon. His choice of doing before it furthered our national nightmare was, with the benefit of hindsight, a wise decision, with bad consequence for Ford. I will endeavor to find a good cite or two to add to this important statement. You have seriously tightened up the ==Pardon and Controversy== section! I may reinforce with another cite from Ford's autobiography, and I am desperately trying to lay my hands on the official record of [Ford's Testimony at the House Judiciary Committee investigating Nixon's Pardon] to add to the citations-- it may be overkill, but I feel compelled to keep the main article tight and well referenced. I will leave it to better copy editors to prune and asg.

What do you think is wrong?
Hi, I'm Homestar1936, and you flagged the article Mockingboid for deletion. I want to know what's wrong with it so I can change it to the public's needs. I'm not trying to promote myself or anything along those lines, and www.weeklymessengeronline.com itself is owned by me, and is non-profit.

Minutes Later- Thanx for reconsidering dude. I would nominate you if I knew how.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Mountain band.jpeg
Thanks for uploading Image:Mountain band.jpeg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:43, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:PetersburgVA1865.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:PetersburgVA1865.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. 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 Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:20, 3 August 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. |EPO| da: 17:20, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Fear and Loathing in America.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Fear and Loathing in America.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:07, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Image permission problem with Image:MCButler.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:MCButler.jpg I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media 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 GFDL 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 [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org permissions-en@wikimedia.org], 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 did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org permissions-en@wikimedia.org].

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 Image copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Image 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 uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Hekerui (talk) 20:42, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Acanceh.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Acanceh.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. , and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:
 * state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
 * add the relevant copyright tag.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Non-free rationale for File:Kingdom of fear.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Kingdom of fear.JPG. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable.
