Explanation of my hundreds of June/July edits

 * Note to admins wondering why I'm updating all those old links, including on archived Talk pages: I know archived pages aren't supposed to be edited. However, many of the 2000 links from Wikipedia to my bahai-library.com point to very old versions of pages (pre-2003) which have new URLs. Up till now those old pages have been left online. However, within the year I will be dismantling that dinosaur of an old site, adding redirects for any pages that have incoming links I can't update, and pushing all traffic into the post-2003 Web 2.0 site. So better that I update the links now, even on archived pages that I'm not supposed to edit, than have them all go dead in a year. Jonah Winters (talk) 20:28, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for saving the picture
Thanks for saving the picture for how the nerves innervate or effect function, but I'm not sure what to do persay, about em deleting the picture. You'd mentioned it was on your server, and please pardon my ignorance on this, but I don't actually know what to do with it to make it easily available to help other students. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you on this. I took a very break from Wiki stuff because there was a lot of RL stuff going on in my life. Kelidimari (talk) 20:34, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Kari-lynn winters.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Kari-lynn winters.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands 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. 23:11, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair use disputed for Image:Process drama.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Process drama.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:13, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of World of Stories
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article World of Stories, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

World of Stories
Greetings Jonah, In answer to your query, the problem, as I see it, is that A World of Stories appears to have not met the standards of notability laid out in the guidelines. I think your best bet would be to introduce some articles written about the book. Though I couldn't find any myself, I'm betting that if they exist you know where they are. If there aren't any yet - I'm betting that there will be - the article might just be premature and could be reintroduced at a later date. I think you've been quite careful concerning publicity. That said, you may wish to read WP:COI to know what pitfalls to avoid going forward. I'm hoping all this helps. Please feel free to contact me should you have further questions.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:World of stories cover.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:World of stories cover.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:20, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Category:Canadian children's illustrators
For every category you create, you should specify parent categories to which it belongs.

Contact me if you have questions about this. Best regards,--Stepheng3 (talk) 19:55, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Category:Canadian children's authors
I see that you created this category and later blanked the page. A faster way to delete a category you've created yourself is to place db-author on the page. This tag attracts the attention of an administrator who can perform the deletion for you. Best regards,--Stepheng3 (talk) 03:51, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Irfan Colloqium
You can see a couple hits from here (or use the "what links here" under the tool box on the left). I have one in development in fact in an article I have in a sandbox. I know a lot more material recently became available and I'm sure it will work it's way in over time. BTW you may be interested in the Sandbox - just add /Sandbox after your user name, hit the "create page" link and fill as needed. The idea of a sandbox is for article work and development but still "offline" in the sense that editors aren't supposed to bother you unless invite though there are rules against using sandboxes for non-approved wikipedia stuff (like just personal webpages or copyright infringements...)

Speedy deletion of Irfán Colloquia
Hello Jonah22, this is a message from an automated bot to inform you that the page you created, Irfán Colloquia, has been marked for speedy deletion by User:Jeff3000. This has been done because the page is an almost identical copy of a page deleted via a deletion discussion (see CSD). If you think the tag was placed in error, please add " " to the page text, and edit the to explain why the page should not be deleted. If you have a question about this bot, please ask it at User talk:SDPatrolBot II. If you have a question for the user who tagged the article, see User talk:Jeff3000. Thanks, - SDPatrolBot II (talk) on behalf of 14:38, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Irfán Colloquia
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Irfán Colloquia. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Irfán Colloquia. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:12, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Baha'i- and Winters-related articles
Hello, Jonah22. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted.

Baha'i- and Winters-related articles came up at Talk:Baháʼí orthography. This message on your talk page is a friendly reminder to disclose COI, if any. You appear to have disclosed your connection to the Bahá'í Library Online website correctly here: this message concerns, however, your edits to encyclopedia articles, for which you can (and should) disclose your COI following the procedures detailed at the conflict of interest guideline (click the link to see what is expected of you). Thanks. --Francis Schonken (talk) 07:22, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
