Carl Rogers
I believe you have done a great job with this page!!!!!! I just noticed a few grammatical errors, which I saw you reverted :(. I switched back and am leaving an explanation that I placed on my edits. I hope you will let them pass because they are so minor to an excellent page. I am an avid Rogerian reader myself - I am in the process of reading On Becoming a Person as we speak. This page is well-done in fact better than what I have seen in my other favorites - Maslow, Fromm,etc. - as you can see I am big on humanistic psychology and existentialism.

License tagging for Image:Emma_in_2007.jpeg
Thanks for uploading Image:Emma_in_2007.jpeg. 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) 08:48, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Cuckoo in the clock
I noticed that this article is mostly transcribed lyrics - I'm not familiar with the artist, but are these lyrics possibly still copyrighted? ShakingSpirit talk 12:57, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * SS, why do you need to be familiar with the artist? This is Wikipedia. The kid had provided a link to the author - why did you not follow it? &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 18:37, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Faansie2007.jpeg
Thank you for uploading File:Faansie2007.jpeg. 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.
