 * Hmmm - odd that you would invite me to join the Ohio Portal, and then on the same day start digging through my submissions for something to submit for deletion. At the time of the submission of the image, the website in question provided fair use guidelines that I followed.  I only worked on the page because it was listed under Wikipedia articles needing cleanup - I have no interest in the article beyond a brief effort to contribute to as better article.  Anyways, have fun with your Wikipedia endeavors.  Historymike (talk) 00:00, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Photo of Peter Waite


Hello Historymike, the image of Peter Waite you uploaded in 2008 has only been used in one article Peter Waite (philanthropist) for the Australian pastoralist and philanthropist. It seems odd that such a photo of an oil painting of such a South Australian has come from Toledo, Ohio. The State Library of South Australia have a photo (but permission is required to use) of him in his early years and I struggle to see the resemblance. Are you able to confirm that the photo is of the correct Peter Waite? Thanks.--Cruickshanks (talk) 20:17, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, this is the correct Peter Waite, though about four decades removed from the image you linked. Feel free to edit the article if you prefere a different image. Historymike (talk) 12:48, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that. I found the same image elsewhere and that seems to confim it is one and the same person.  I also found a photograph and a painted version in the exact same pose and so it was certain the painting was of the photo.  Not a big issue but for information, I suspect based on the detail visible in his beard that the image you have is actually an extract of the photograph used for the painting, rather than the painting itself.  Anyway, it does appear to be Peter Waite 40 years later. Regards--Cruickshanks (talk) 16:27, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:Gulf of Aden2.xcf requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

Question about your Norman Smith image
Hi there, I noticed your upload File:Norman Smith.jpg has a public domain license and the description seems to indicate you took the photo, but you would have been about 1 year old in 1965.

File source problem with File:Tkachev 2.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Tkachev 2.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, 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. 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 refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Question
Hi Mike,

I was wondering if you knew anything about the Elizabethan Era in England. I am currently researching the question: How did Queen Elizabeth I create a sense of nationalism in England? I was hoping you would be able to provide some insight on this topic or direct me to a person who could.

Thanks, -Andrew — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrew Spana (talk • contribs) 18:10, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
