You seem to have the hang of things more or less - you left the message on my talk page correctly, after all. 7th Cavalry Drum and Bugle Corps looks generally pretty good, I've made a few changes. There's no need for the section header that restates the article title, and I downsized the image a bit. The article does need to cite its sources, and should be categorized in at least one or two categories, and all the external links that are in the article body shouldn't be there -- the ones relevant to this article should be in a section titled "External links", and the links like the one to the Wyoming government homepage should be replaced with internal wikipedia links, like this: Wyoming, which will link to Wyoming. Also keep in mind neutral point of view, so stuff like " thrilled and delighted thousands of spectators" really should be cited to whoever claims it to be true. Overall, though, it's a good first article. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions. Tuf-Kat 23:40, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:7th Cavalry Drum and Bugle Corps.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:7th Cavalry Drum and Bugle Corps.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Hetar 05:34, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

7th Cav DBC Image Question
It seems like the most logical owner of the photo's copyright is the corps. In that case, as an official representative of that organization you would be authorized to release it under a license of your choosing. In order for Wikipedia to be able to use it, it needs to be a free license, which allows anyone to use it for commercial or noncommercial reasons. I would suggest or. Clearly state the image's source as your organization and that you release it in your official capacity for such. Hope this helps, and let me know if you have further questions. --Hetar 16:38, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Better source request for File:DBC at Sheridan Inn 750x268.jpg
Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia: You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you.

File permission problem with File:DBC at Sheridan Inn 750x268.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:DBC at Sheridan Inn 750x268.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:34, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of 7th Cavalry Drum and Bugle Corps


The article 7th Cavalry Drum and Bugle Corps has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "No indication of notability, no success in national competition, fails WP:BAND. No references beyond purely local notice."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
