Autobiographical articles
Greetings:

Your username (Mikeferg) is very similar to the article you have just created, Mike Ferguson, Missouri. Which leaves one with the impression that you may, in fact, be the subject of the article you have created.

Just as an FYI, these sorts of autobiographical articles are generally frowned upon for a variety of reasons listed at WP:AUTO. It is possible that someone may nominate your article for deletion simply because it appears that you've written an article about yourself.

I have no plans to do so, but I will be moving the article to a different page so that the article name will be in accordance with Wikipedia naming standards. The article will soon be at Mike Ferguson (Missouri).

If you have any questions, please feel free to click on the link labelled "Yak" in my signature below. That'll take you to my talk page where you may leave me questions.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and happy editing. → Ξxtreme Unction {yak ł blah } 20:21, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Maf speaking.jpg

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to , 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 .

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as 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.
