Orphaned fair use image (Image:Portlandpressherald.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Portlandpressherald.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.) 23:28, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Great Fires ref
I see that article quotes a source talking about a couple named "Spofford" -- family history?--SarekOfVulcan 18:09, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

ayuh
yes, in fact the couple were my great grandparents. I was by no means around in 1947 for the fires, but I hear from older family members it was a hell of an afternoon :) Jspofford 17:23, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Wedding Cake House (Kennebunk, Maine)
Thanks for your additions and corrections to this article. I haven't been in Kennebunk since I was in grade school when we used to visit the Paul Thayer family who owned the Kennebunk Laundry. While I remembered the house, I couldn't remember its exact location. The references I first found didn't agree on which town it is in. None of them gave a street name, so when I found a book that said it was "106 Summer Street in Kennebunkport," I went with that. Thanks again for your local knowledge in correcting this error.Best wishes. clariosophic (talk) 23:16, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:EveningExpress.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:EveningExpress.jpg. 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. Sumanch (talk) 23:36, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
