P.S. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need help with anything or simply wish to say hello. :)


 * Of course you can create your own user page; it's free of charge to you. Go ahead, and don't hesitate to start editing User:Joshmaul. ;) About the images: If you are unsure as to whether or not an image is acceptable to upload, check Image use policy. For copyright tags, there's Image copyright tags. I am not sure of what sort of images you manipulated. Can you verify if the original images are in public domain or supply their URL's? Regards, Sango  123  15:23, August 6, 2005 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Uss-stonewalljackson.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Uss-stonewalljackson.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Dethomas 07:51, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Image tagging for Image:Karazhan-01.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Karazhan-01.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Karazhan-01.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Karazhan-01.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 23:01, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Did you know nomination for Igor Britanov
Howdy! Whilst browsing through Special:Newpages for potential articles to feature as part of the Did you know? section of the Main Page, I ran across the article Igor Britanov, which you created. You can see the proposed blurb at Template talk:Did you know under the date heading corresponding to the creation of the article. I'm adding this notice here for two reasons: Firstly, if you feel the blurb I wrote is inaccurate or misrepresents the subject, feel free to propose a correction below it, or add a note to my talk page. Secondly, barring a large backlog or a significant problem cropping up with regards to the article, you should expect to see it on the Main Page within a week, so if you wish to add some polish to it before getting a sizable influx of eyeballs looking it over, you'll need to do so fairly soon. Regards and good luck, GeeJo (t)⁄(c) &bull; 19:54, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Star Trek: Odyssey
Just a heads up - you shouldn't insert new entries into an infobox like that - especially when it's for an unreleased film with hardly any references. Wait until the article has survived a while, or shown to be notable. Inserting it now is VERY premature. TheRealFennShysa 17:01, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Kelthuzad-1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Kelthuzad-1.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. (ESkog)(Talk) 20:03, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Star Trek: Odyssey
A "" template has been added to the article Star Trek: Odyssey, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. --EEMeltonIV 16:42, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Sundevil1.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Sundevil1.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:52, 3 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Before retagging the image file, I thought I would post the remaining issue here first. User:Ocatecir went ahead and filled in most of what was needed for a fair use statement, but he lacked one critical piece of information, that is the source of the image. Without the source being identified, the image will have to be deleted.  Would you be so kind as to supply that information as you were the uploader? Dbiel (Talk) 12:31, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:ST-Odyssey-wallpaper.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:ST-Odyssey-wallpaper.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.

Image copyright problem with Image:Pohanka-zouave.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Pohanka-zouave.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 01:21, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Image:Sundevil1.jpg
As the uploader of Image:Sundevil1.jpg would it be possible for you to provide the source of the image. This missing item may result in the deletion of the image. I have reframed from taging the image to allow additional time to update the fair use statement prior to the image actually being deleted due to the lack of the source information. Dbiel (Talk) 02:33, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Sundevil1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Sundevil1.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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:44, 6 December 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Dbiel (Talk) 04:44, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Hans Frank
Hello; I see that you've added an infobox on the Hans Frank page, which describes him as 'Governor-General of Occupied Poland'. There's been a brief discussion about his actual title on the Talk page in question, but basically, the point about the German invasion of Poland was to eliminate Poland as a country. The previous description of him as 'Governor General of the General Government', although a bit of a tongue-twister, was correct. Please can you respond as appropriate on the Talk page. --Major Bonkers (talk) 11:37, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, can you add sth to the above talk page on why it's necessary to add a "namesake" section to the info. box, given that this is covered very near the start of the article? Thanks, bigpad (talk) 18:46, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Garviel Loken
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Garviel Loken, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

Your edits
Hi Joshmaul, thank you for all your great contributions lately. I just wanted to let you know, though, that you seem to have been marking all your edits as minor edits; when you add or change content, though, as you have been doing, it is better to leave it as a non-minor edit so people can see it. Minor edits are usually just for tiny things like spelling corrects and formatting changes.

I also noticed that you have not been using edit summaries. Whenever you make an edit, it's always good and courteous to leave a brief summary (in the small box below the edit window) so that other users working on the article can see, at a glance, what you've done; edit summaries also make it easier for people to find a specific edit in the history of an article. Please remember to use edit summaries in the future, so we can all work together more easily :). Best, r  ʨ  ana ɢ  talk/contribs 09:00, 15 February 2009 (UTC)


 * [[Image:Information.svg|25px]] Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary.   Timothy Titus  Talk To TT  08:48, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Information.svg|25px]] Please remember to mark your edits as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.'    Timothy Titus  Talk To TT  08:48, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Minor edits
Hi Joshmaul, I'd like to join the chorus asking you to not mark every edit as "minor". You might want to check your options in "my preferences", under the "Editing" tab - do you have "Mark all edits minor by default" selected? Thanks for your consideration umrguy  42  17:17, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:General Butler's Monument (Rear).jpg

Jeff Dunham
Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but we cannot accept original research, such as this edit of yours to Jeff Dunham. Original research refers to material obtained through personal knowledge, or unpublished syntheses of previously published material, rather than material that is supported by reliable, verifiable sources. Please make sure you cite a reliable source for all of the information you add or re-add to articles. You can learn how to do this at Citing sources. If you have any other questions about editing, just let me know. Thank you. Nightscream (talk) 18:18, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Blanche Butler Ames.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Blanche Butler Ames.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 website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 13:32, 1 November 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:32, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

License tagging for File:The Curse of Hildreth Cemetery.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:The Curse of Hildreth Cemetery.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) 07:06, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Tennant.jpeg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Tennant.jpeg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to List of Star Trek regions of space, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. &mdash; UncleBubba ( T @ C ) 05:23, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Howard B. Cushing, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lieutenant (United States) (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.

Birth place of George Prévost
This edit to the article for George Prévost changed his birth place from Paramus, New Jersey to "New Barbadoes Township (now Hackensack)". In 1767, New Barbadoes Township was far larger than when it became Hackensack. I searched for Paramus as his birth place and found Defender of Canada: Sir George Prevost and the War of 1812, which -- among other sources -- supports the claim. I'm not sure exactly where he was born, but perhaps the article should read that "George Prévost was born on 19 May 1767, in present-day Paramus, New Jersey (then a part of New Barbadoes Township, which after any territorial changes now exists as Hackensack)."What are your thoughts?

Proposed deletion of World of Warcraft: Classic
Hello, Joshmaul. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, World of Warcraft: Classic, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:


 * 1) [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit edit the page]
 * 2) remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. ... disco spinster   talk  19:45, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Direct, reliable sources needed for Days of the Year pages
Hello! You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages now require direct reliable sources for additions. For details see the content guideline, the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide or the edit notice on any DOY page. Almost all new additions without a reliable source as a reference are now being reverted on-sight.

Please do not add new additions to these pages without direct sources as the burden to provide them is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages.
