Great American Novel
Quick question on your addition to the Great American Novel page - what's the reasoning for including a link to zeitgeist? I don't see the connection, and the zeitgeist article has nothing to do with American novels. Before I delete the link, I'd like to hear your logic for adding it. Thanks. | Keithlaw 04:40, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Havanapalace.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Havanapalace.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 06:04, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

regarding your translation on the article Mexican general election%2C 2006
michael, you changed back the editing i had done on the translation of roberto madrazo's slogan "Mover a México para que las cosas se hagan". |see see this link. i changed it before because i feel that "Putting México in motion so that things get done" captures the intent of the slogan in spanish more closely than saying "Moving México to get things done"; the close literal translation. in fact, i think you would agree with me that this slogan in english is rather awkward. in the case of "Moving México...", the word "moving" sounds more like changing location while "putting in motion" emphazises activity. the slogan is talking about getting things done, so a translation that highlights activity is more faithful to the original. translations can be tricky because often there can be an obvious literal translation that misses the intent that is nuanced in the original language. i was going to change it back on the article but i think its best if you and i discuss it first. uri budnik 23:12, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Please claim your upload(s): File:Cdbolivar.jpg
Hi, This image was seemingly uploaded prior to current image polices, Thank you.

However, as part of ongoing efforts to ensure all media on English Wikipedia is correctly licensed and attributed it would be appreciated if you were able to confirm, that it was your own work, by marking it as own, amending the information added by a third party, and by changing the license to an appropriate "self" variant. You can also add  to the media by uploader tag if it is present to indicate that you've acknowledged the image, and license shown (and updated the information where appropriate).

This will assist those reviewing the many many "free" images on commons that have not yet been transfered to Commons. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:47, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 2
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of Ancient Roman Collegia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ostia. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
