Antonio Martinez
Thank you for starting the article. I think we may need to move it to Antonio Martínez (priest) and disambiguate it with the soccer player. Usually titles are not included in titles of biographical articles. That explains why I didn't see it until now. But you have done a good job so far. 8)--Rockero 07:15, 23 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Agreed. Also, we should make sure that his name is the same across the wikipedia.  I've seen him as both Antonio Jose and Jose Antonio (i.e. in the Simmons free-newmexican link).  The former (Antonio Jose) seems more common.  Murcielago 22:04, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I look forward to your efforts. As you can see from my user contributions, New Mexican history is a favorite of mine. My only suggestions is that rather than bolding proper names, link them within wiki (as I did with Lamy in your article -- I wrote the current Lamy article on the encyclopedia). For a while we've needed a Manuel Armijo article, since he comes up again and again (see Taos Revolt, Manuel Antonio Chaves, etc.). Also, there are a few articles on New Mexicans that need serious work -- Kit Carson, and the first ever article that I wrote Ceran St. Vrain, which I have sadly neglected for a while. Again, thanks and looking forward to working with you in the future! Murcielago 16:01, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Good to have you on board. First tip: When communicating with other editors, leave your message on their talkpage (the discussion tab next to the "userpage" tab). For some NM bio-historical articles that need to be created, please see List of Governors of New Mexico, Governors of New Mexico Territory, and Spanish governors of New Mexico. If you are interested in religion, you may see ways to improve Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Santa Fe. If history is more your bag, there is plenty of work to be done on Spanish missions in New Mexico. There is currently no information on the Santa Fe Ring on wikipedia, not even in the Thomas Benton Catron article, if you'd like to help out there. And if you like, there are plenty of NM-related topics listed under "tasks" at WikiProject Mexican-Americans/Chicanos. There are also many gaps in the geography of New Mexico. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I'll move Padre Martínez, but if you'd like to know how it's done, I'll be glad to explain it. PAZ, --Rockero 00:46, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

New Article
Hi Kevin, apropos of your Padre Martinez article, I went ahead and started a Revolt of 1837 article. Your input on it would be appreciated. Thanks! Murcielago 16:47, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Redirecting the names of three different girls to one article titled after only one of the four, was inappropriate. Regards -Ste|vertigo 16:53, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Manuel Armijo
Kevin, there's now an article on Manuel Armijo up; you might find it interesting, and may want to add to it. Murcielago 16:11, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but all glory and honor for the article go to Jerry, who also did Manuel Chaves. I did, however, make sure to mention Padre Martinez in my edits. -- Murcielago 22:27, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Nixonthumber.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Nixonthumber.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.) 20:06, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I am rather concerned
that the picture - that I believe was uploaded by you - of Juan de Oñate in his article is from the cover of Marc Simmons book ''The Last Conquistador]] and was painted by the artist Jose Cisneros - who as far as I know is still alive. Before the picture is removed you can make an argument as to why it is Fair Use - or ask Cisneros for permission, but please make it real soon. Carptrash 06:03, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Propagandhi Todd Chris Jord.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Propagandhi Todd Chris Jord.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.

Image:DSCF0268.JPG
Hi. When you uploaded Image:DSCF0268.JPG, you did not specify complete source and copyright information. Another user subsequently tagged it with GFDL-presumed and, for some time, it has existed on Wikipedia under the assumption that you created the image and you agreed to license it under the GFDL. This assumption, however well-meaning, is not legally sufficient and the tag is being phased out. Images using it are being deleted.

This image has been tagged for deletion and will be deleted in one week if adequate copyright information is not provided.

If you, personally, are the author of this content, meaning that you took the photograph yourself or you created the chart yourself (and it does not use any clipart that you did not create), please retag the image with a free image copyright tag that correctly describes your licensing intentions, usually GFDL-self or PD-self. Please also make sure if you have not already done so that you write a good description of what the image depicts, when you took the photo, and other important details. This will allow Wikipedia to continue using the image.

If you did not create the image or if it is derived from the copyrighted works of others, please keep in mind that most images on the internet are copyrighted and are not suitable for use on Wikipedia. Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others and does not use images unless we know that they have been freely licensed. Any creative work is automatically copyrighted, even if it lacks a copyright notice. Unless the copyright holder has specifically disclaimed their rights to the image and released it under the GFDL or another compatible license, we cannot use it. If you did not create the image, and cannot make the image compliant with Non-free content, simply do nothing and it will be deleted in a week. All other non-free images must follow these rules.

Please feel free to contact me on my talk page or leave a message at Media copyright questions with any questions you may have. Thank you. Aksibot 21:48, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:HollandB-52.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:HollandB-52.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, then 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, then 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 Fair use, 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 06:03, 24 June 2007 (UTC).

Non-commercial image
Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:Kkprint.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial. See our non-free content guidelines for more more information.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license GFDL-self to license it under the GFDL, or cc-by-sa-3.0 to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use PD-self to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file, please understand that the vast majority of images found on the internet are not appropriate for Wikipedia. Most content on the internet is copyrighted and the creator of the image has exclusive rights to use it. Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others - do not upload images that violate others' copyrights. In certain limited cases, we may be able to use an image under a claim of fair use - if you are certain that fair use would apply here, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list. If no fair use rationale applies, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask at Media copyright questions. Thank you. Carlosguitar (ready and willing) 12:25, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Codiene.jpg)
 Thanks for uploading Image:Codiene.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.

Fair use rationale for Image:Shassenfeld.jpg

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.

Unspecified source for Image:Kk2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Kk2.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, then 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, then 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 Fair use, 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 18:29, 15 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? MECU ≈ talk 18:29, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Hello, even if the image is self-made, you still need to pick a copyright tag. Let me put it this way: if I were to take that image and crop, it either could become mine (if you make it public domain for example) or I may be required to keep the license (GFDL or Creative Commons or other licenses). There are a few other disputes as well, so it is just a matter of picking what type of license for this images you want.  -- Ricky81682 (talk) 19:37, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Armchair.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Armchair.gif. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.

Repost of Armchair Martian
A tag has been placed on, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a. If you can indicate how Armchair Martian is different from the previously posted material, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template hangon underneath the other template on the article, and also put a note on Talk:Armchair Martian saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 4 under General criteria. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please feel free to use deletion review, but do not continue to repost the article if it is deleted. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we request you to follow these instructions.

Image copyright problem with Image:Good DD.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Good DD.JPG. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Fair use rationale for File:Negativland1.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Negativland1.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.

Ed Gein
You couldn't have missed the internal note asking editors not to add listings of songs written with Gein's name mentioned in the lyrics or title, films or other media, because your song was placed directly after it. This sort of trivia is covered sufficiently and such sections are not intended to be an exhaustive list. If you have items you think may be appropriate, bring it up on the talk page. Any additions not previously discussed WILL BE REMOVED and may be reported as vandalism. It is not appropriate to list when Bart Simpson says his name or yet another band writes a song. Please note that trivia additions, whether they are called "Trivia", "Popular culture", "Further information" or any other similar title, are discouraged on Wikipedia and, as in your addition to this article, are likely to be removed. Further, the decision for articles within the scope of the WP:WikiProject Crime and Criminal Biography group has been to limit the listing of what essentially amounts to trivial and pop culture mention to those items which are notably and specifically about, or by, the person in question in film, tv, and literature and to avoid having, adding to, or starting, extensive and exhaustive lists of each and every time the person's name gets mileage in the entertainment field. These are largely articles about convicted murders and/or rapists and there is really no place in a fact-based, straight-forward article about someone who fits that description for inclusion of "fun facts" like mentions in songs, South Park or The Simpsons. It is outside the focus of Wikipedia and inappropriate. Thank you. Wildhartlivie (talk) 08:36, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
