File permission problem with File:Replica Thomas-Stretch clock Independence Hall.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Replica Thomas-Stretch clock Independence Hall.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release 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 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 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 permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use 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. Stefan2 (talk) 23:30, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

8 Spruce Street
In order to add the information that the "Beekman Tower" was named after W. Beekman, you need a citation from a reliable source which explicitly says that, so the information can be verified. Although it may appear to be self-evident to you, that is not sufficient. Please don't re-add the information again with a proper citation. Thanks. BMK (talk) 05:17, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 2
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Wilhelmus Beekman, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rhinebeck (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Unspecified source/license for File:Signs Beaver and Dial Philadelphia.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Signs Beaver and Dial Philadelphia.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like PD-self (to release all rights), (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

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

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot (Talk • Contribs • Owner) 02:45, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

I have removed part of your addition to the above article, as it appears to have been directly copied from http://desmondfishlibrary.org/independ.htm, a copyright web page. All content you add to Wikipedia must be written in your own words. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you think I may have made a mistake. — Diannaa (talk) 20:50, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

Samuel Howell
Hello, one of the Wiki pages you created, Samuel Howell was edited earlier today by a user who blanked the page, and then after I reverted that, added two sections of sourced info. While poorly formatted, some of that rather detailed info is in keeping with the rest of the content on the page. Other details, however, like who he married, names of his children, his birth and death dates, do not correspond. If it weren't sourced, I'd revert it, but since it is, and since I am not knowledgeable about Mr Howell, I don't feel that I can verify or revert these additions properly. Since you created the page, I feel that you would be a better judge of the content. Would you take a look? Thanks. Zinnober9 (talk) 22:38, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Thomas Howell coat of arms.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Thomas Howell coat of arms.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 seven 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. Stefan2 (talk) 23:25, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
