I mean no insult, but your image Image:Gateway Arch At Night.jpg is terrible quality. I've removed it from Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. Do you have any images, say stablized on a tripod, of the arch at night? --Durin 22:08, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I've now placed this image on the Images and media for deletion list. The quality of the image is insufficient. --Durin 30 June 2005 17:32 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Space Needle Entrance.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Space Needle Entrance.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then 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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images 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. A dmrb♉ltz (t • c • [ log]) 06:06, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

FM (disambiguation)
Thanks for you addition to FM (disambiguation), but in the future, please add entries to the appropriate section of the dab page (if one exists), rather than at the end. Thanks, — Swpbτ • c 17:01, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Farouk Systems Group
A tag has been placed on Farouk Systems Group requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

File:Seattle Skyline As Seen From Ferry.jpg: I'm guessing you took the photo yourself. Could you clarify that by adding own or an equivalent and changing the licensing from PD (a deprecated template}} to PD-self? Thanks. - Jmabel | Talk 06:28, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Flem (disambiguation)
I have nominated Flem (disambiguation), an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Flem (disambiguation). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. +Angr 09:23, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Tokyo IATA codes
I started a conversation at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Disambiguation that relates to our recent edits at TYO, if you're interested in participating. Also, thanks for fixing the Haneda Airport article. I had based my previous edit on the information in that page.&#32;-- Fyrael (talk) 06:13, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

Southwest Routes from Milwaukee 1/5/2020
Hey there!

I wasn't going to make any changes to the Milwaukee Airport page but was just curious if you could put down a reference on the Southwest destination category on which site or release on MKE-BOS being cut and MKE-LAX now going seasonal.

Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by MattAviation (talk • contribs) 19:13, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
