Hi, this is a fair use image. Wikimedia Commons doesn't accept such files (see commons:COM:Fair use), and the English Wikipedia doesn't allow their use for biographies. See below ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:26, 4 July 2019 (UTC) strikethrough per Huon's correction ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:40, 4 July 2019 (UTC)


 * The image is hosted on the Arabic Wikipedia, but not on the Wikimedia Commons. According to the Arabic text it's not freely licensed; they claim fair use because the subject is dead and no freely licensed image of him is known. Thus it cannot be uploaded to the Commons which takes only freely licensed images. It will need to be uploaded to the English Wikipedia with an appropriate fair use rationale. (In response to : Yes, we do accept fair use for biographies of dead people, but not for living people where a free equivalent could conceivably be produced.) Huon (talk) 20:30, 4 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I didn't take the dead/living distinction into account and have corrected this above. Thanks. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:40, 4 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Conclusion: Someone needs to uploaded the foto to the English Wikipedia with an appropriate fair use rationale, right? help me --93.211.217.251 (talk) 21:39, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I think that was directed at you. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 21:42, 4 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the ping Face-smile.svg
 * This appears to be correct. I have added a request at Files_for_upload; future similar requests can be made at Files_for_upload/Wizard. "The image is non-free and I'm not autoconfirmed", "The image I want uploaded doesn't exist on Wikipedia", "The image is suitable for Wikipedia for another reason".
 * Now you'll only need to until someone has answered the request. I assume that they will also include the image in the article on your behalf, because actual usage in an article is required to keep the image on the English Wikipedia. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:57, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

A message from LeeStott
Hi I just wanted to apologies if you saw my edits to the Azure Dev tool pages as disruptive. I just wanted to clarify the details as they were wrong I hope my latest edit reflect the accuracy required of wikipedia as reference source and encyclopedia. I have validated all the statements and changes and added appropriate references to support the changes. I have also ensured that the changes do not reflect soapboxing etc.

LeeStott (talk) 18:59, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
 * , it's fine. Editing Wikipedia can be somewhat of a learning curve for some folks. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 19:01, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

USD (United School District)
I noticed your edit note on Oskaloosa, Kansas about use of USD 341, but you should be aware there are hundreds or thousands of uses of USD in Kansas community and school articles. • Sbmeirow  •  Talk  • 04:30, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
 * , right, it might take a while to put not a typo on all of them, but at least now you know about it. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 00:51, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

A message from MaggieTait
Hi there, brand new user to wiki here. I was hoping to add a link to Chief Censor David Shanks' LinkedIn page but I guess that's inappropriate? I started trying to create a page for him on wiki but found it quite hard...

MaggieTait (talk) 21:27, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
 * , typically external links aren't put in the article body, but in a separate "external links" section. Also, links to linkedin profiles tend to be reserved for people who have their own articles. Good luck in trying to learn everything. It can be difficult. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 21:38, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

Reply to your July 8 message
Thanks, idreamofhorses, I appreciate the info and (as a recently retired academic editor at the University of Arizona) I appreciate the structure and rigor that Wikipedia has set up for its entries. It's taken a bit of time to gain a preliminary understanding of how to create an entry, but I have found the documentation helpful. I've been making a few minor copyedits to the version of "Amy Weintraub" that I posted yesterday and likely will do so in coming days (which I assume if okay). In the future, there are additional individuals for whom I would like to help create Wikipedia pages and am eager to learn how to become more proficient in this process, and how to elicit the relevant information from these persons that is objective, verifiable, and accessible. Thanks, Robert — Preceding unsigned comment added by RobertMerideth (talk • contribs) 02:42, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
 * , it's nice to have an academic recognize the value of Wikipedia. Happy editing! I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @  02:44, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

When I see "unexplained content removal" I often think of "paranormal dematerialization (of content)". Thanks for patrolling, — Paleo Neonate  – 07:01, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

Stub tags
When removing stub tags, don't forget to update the article's rating on the talk page as well, per WP:DESTUB. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 10:53, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
 * , I'm sure I'll find a way to keep track of the stub templates I remove via AWB. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 13:22, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
 * That's a good point! – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 10:22, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
 * , no worries, I found a way. It's a bit inefficient, but it's a solution nonetheless. I basically do it after the AWB run. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 13:56, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

How do you do? Well, your the first Wikipedian editor to thank me.So,thanks. G-Force234 (talk) 17:40, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Stale
Hello, I notice you removed my report at WP:AIV as stale. Could you clarify for me what constitutes stale on this noticeboard, please? Thank you, --SVTCobra 18:45, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
 * , I remove reports after they're on the board for about an hour. Most of the time, admins are skipping the report at that point (perhaps unintentionally, huggle will block accounts automatically if an admin is using it); the rest of the time, there's no one around to block vandals and it's unpredictable when someone will come along to do it. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 02:43, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the problem was, this wasn't an active vandal, it was a dedicated RefSpammer. It's the type of stuff which usually gets an indefinite block. Is it better to report such cases elsewhere? --SVTCobra 02:53, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
 * , if it's more of a case of sockpuppetry, it should be reported to WP:SPI. If it's a one-time event (they spam a bit then get bored), well, the problem solved itself. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 03:00, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Turns out all is OK. Somehow, hours afterwards the spammer was blocked. See: Special:Contributions/BingNox. Sorry to have bothered you. Cheers, --SVTCobra 03:19, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
 * , you didn't bother me at all, actually. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 03:30, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

Thank you so much for editing my wiki page! I have no idea who set it up. I also dont know if u find this, i never wrote a Message here. I wish u a great week, cheers, thorsten — Preceding unsigned comment added by TonyZ77 (talk • contribs) 02:08, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Hallo Thorsten, This is a bit strange as the article Thorsten Nesch was created by you on 2 5 6 Dec 2015. You should not have created an article about yourself - please see WP:AUTOBIO. Pam D  06:31, 16 July 2019 (UTC) Corrected 07:29, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * , just to be explicit about this as to be fair to, I'm sure he didn't realize that creating an autobiographical article was discouraged. Many inexperienced editors don't, hence the existence of WP:AUTOBIO.
 * Also, I'm not entirely sure he's Thorsten Nesch. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 07:15, 16 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Yes, although he signs as "Thorsten" he could just be someone who takes an interest in other people with the same forename (I tend to stub-sort articles starting with "P"). But there's something odd about the fact that he started the article and then has no idea who set it up! Ah well. Pam  D  07:27, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see my eyes skipped over the non-wikified signature in the process of reading quickly. Insert sheepish look here.
 * But you're right, this is a bit odd. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 17:28, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Thank you.
Your thanks on my edit of Dow Jones Global Titans 50 really made my day. It is my largest edit currently and it really makes me feel like I made an impact now that you have thanked me. KennethSweezy (talk) 04:12, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

Is Elizabeth L. Cless no longer an orphan?
Thank you for helping improve my new article. There is now a link to it from Carnegie Corporation of New York (the philanthropic organization that funded the implementation of her new creation of "Continuing Education for Women.") More links are coming. At what point are there sufficient links that an article isn't an orphan any more, so that template can be removed?

Archive
How do you make an archive like yours in your talk page? It looks really nice. - Cry ♥ ppled   21:11, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
 * When your talk page gets lengthy enough, you can get User:lowercase sigmabot III to archive your page by following the instructions here. Make sure you read the entire page. You probably won't have to archive for a couple of months, though. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 03:16, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

A message from Leftdefense
The article on Identity Politics as it existed prior to my additions to it was woefully inadequate as regards criticism of IP and mention of the damage it does to our body politic.

My edit changing the word "share" to "claim" was in fact an attempt at neutrality, as Identity Politics does not depend on actual membership in a group, but self-identification.

Anyway, I understand the revulsion a certain predominant left-of-center political tribe may feel to criticisms of this politically correct notion, but any neutral presentation of the issue would make more than passing mention of relevant criticisms, and the overwhelmingly academic nature of the original entry begged for a fair rewrite. A whole heading on "Intersectional Critiques"? Academic, much?

Leftdefense (talk) 17:53, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * , I still think the tonality of your edits were less than encyclopedic and stand by my reversion. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 20:05, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
