License tagging for Image:Mayor Johnson.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Mayor Johnson.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. 02:05, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Frank-mccloskey-photo-01.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Frank-mccloskey-photo-01.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 03:45, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

"Party" Political Office
Hi, Jimi. Was looking at your addition to the article on Michael Bakalis, and I want to say, thanks for adding a succession box which shows that he was the party nominee. Having said so, however, I question the use of this particular succession box. The use of the term "Party" is good, as it indicates that this came from a political party. But the word "office" is almost certainly inappropriate, as this person does not hold any actual office. Being the nominee is not the same as holding an office. Can we find a better alternative? Look forward to discussing this with you. Un sch  ool  00:39, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

What succession box would you suggest? --Jimi777 (talk) 01:00, 9 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Couldn't say, as I've never been "into" them, and don't even know where to find them. I would think that a current one could be modified, but we'd have to figure out the wording.  Is there a page where we can find the Succession Box Factory?  Un  sch  ool  01:05, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Succession_Box_Standardization/Cheatsheet is the best I could find.

Yes, I found that myself just now. And it shows that this header is being misused. Look at: WikiProject Succession Box Standardization/Guidelines, at this section: ii. Political offices (s-off)


 * Under this header may be placed all sorts of offices that are political in nature. Most of these offices are senior positions in the government of a country, and those with significant power are usually elected. Such offices usually belong to the following categories:


 * Elected heads of state, e.g. Presidents (U.S.A., France, Germany, Ireland, etc.)
 * Elected monarchs, e.g. the monarch of Malaysia
 * Heads of government
 * Elected heads of government, e.g. Prime Ministers (U.K.), Chancellors (Germany), etc.
 * Appointed heads of government (e.g. the French Prime Minister)
 * Mayors (e.g. the Mayor of Washington, D.C.)
 * Ministers, Secretaries of State (U.S. / U.K.), Cabinet members (U.S. Secretaries of ...)
 * Elected Governors, e.g. those of U.S. states (for appointed Governors, e.g. those of Australian states, see s-gov)
 * Political offices of Parliament, including and not restricted to: Speaker of the House of Commons and Lord Speaker (in the UK), Speaker of the House of Representatives and Vice President of the United States (in the USA), etc.


 * For political offices within party structures (like Party Leaders and Whips), see s-ppo.

Note that it lists several types of "political offices" but none of them include party nominees—as is correct, since being a nominee is not holding an office. I shall begin a discussion of the matter. Cheers. Un sch  ool  01:20, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Comparative wipeouts
Do you think Bakalis suffered the worst dem defeat since 1928? sure, he had the fewest dem votes, but howlett lost by more votes and 30 points the previous election--Jimi777 (talk) 01:09, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I think that, under the circumstances, Howlett's defeat was the more embarassing for the Illinois Democratic party.

Fair use rationale for File:Titan.gif

License tagging for File:Howlett.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Howlett.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 02:05, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Howlett.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Howlett.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. &mdash; neuro  (talk)  02:06, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
