Thanks for uploading Image:Mm63a.JPG. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Mm63a.jpg. The copy called Image:Mm63a.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads.

What is a clip?
Dear MCCV

This isn't urgent and it's not necessarily of planet shattering importance, but having noticed it I still have this gnawing question. What, please, is a clip? ...as in 'including an extended wheelbase, tailfins and new front clip' in your Morris Major article.

Thanks for the interesting article, incidentally. I saw a picture of a late Morris Major in a little pocket book on cars back in about 1964, and I've been wondering about it ever since. (I still have the little handbook ... somewhwere 'The Observers Book of Cars' republished annually back in the '60s: don't know if the publishers ever exported it in your direction.)  Courtesy of your article, I wonder about the Morris Major no longer! Except ... did it have a successor? There was the Austin Freeway, I guess, but that - at least it's equivalent here in England - would have been considered half a class above the Major, especially a version with the six cylinder engine. And as far as I can make out from the embryonic wiki article on it, the Freeway never seems to have taken off in the Australian market place anyhow.

Thanks again. Success. Charles01 21:10, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Austin Lancer Series I.jpg}
Thank you for uploading Image:Austin Lancer Series I.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. 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 escription page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Morris Marshal
Sorry to bother you on a Sunday but (1) probably it's nearly Monday with you and (2)... I don't remember (2) any more.

Are you able, please, to take a look at the Morris Marshal entry and maybe add to it? If not you, do you know anyone who might? I appreciate it's not a Morris Major - arguably more Austin than Morris in any case. But right now it's still a pathetically brief entry for a car which, presumably, was loved by someone once.

Thanks for thinking about it. Regards  Charles01 (talk) 17:07, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Golden_Fleece_Road_Map.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Golden_Fleece_Road_Map.jpg. 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. 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? Melesse (talk) 10:17, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

File source problem with File:BMC B-Series Engine - 1622cc.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:BMC B-Series Engine - 1622cc.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.

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 16:04, 28 August 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 16:04, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

November 2018
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at John A. McDougall. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Alexbrn (talk) 10:12, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
