If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Your reupload of Image:Woodrowkeeble.jpg
Please do not re-upload images that were deleted according to our deletion policy, like you did with Image:Woodrowkeeble.jpg. If you think an image should not have been deleted, you should list it at Deletion review. If you have additional licensing or source information which was not present when the image was deleted, then it's okay to reupload the image with the new information. But if you continue to re-upload images that were properly deleted, without any new information, you can be blocked from editing. Thanks.

License tagging for Image:Wkeeble2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Wkeeble2.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.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 01:09, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Burt-med.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Burt-med.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 01:02, 3 December 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jusjih 01:02, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Medal of honor
Would you do the honor of updating Medal of Honor and List of Medal of Honor recipients to reflect Woodrow W. Keeble's belated receiving of the honor?

It's not an easy job, there are lots of statistics to update and just "adding one" to a given statistic won't do, your fellow Wikipedia editors will need to see a reference from outside Wikipedia that's already been updated. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  02:47, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I will work on that over the next few days. I was so happy for his family today and glad to have this page ready for the traffic it no doubt is getting now.

Woodrow W. Keeble article
First a couple things: Assume good faith and no one owns the articles they write. Your remarks seem to indicate a possessive interest in this article. I think that you yourself are being a little inflexible here and are not fully participating in the collaborative process. At no point did you raise any issues you had with my edits on the article's talk page. Other editors who have been contributing to the article have left my edits alone. If you had disagreements with the changes I have made, then why didn't you raise them on the talk page so there could be discussion? I also note that I did not make significant changes to the existing text already present with the exception of removing Pres. Bush's remarks.

I made 4 edits to this article starting on March 4. Each time I was attempting to make the article better. If you want an explanation for why I made the specific edits I did, here they are:

3/4 - removal of Pres. Bush's remarks during the presentation ceremony: I was responding to a request for help on the talk page and this jumped out at me. It was unnecessary to quote the entire address verbatim, which was placing undue weight on that aspect of the ceremony. See Quotations. I linked to that specific section of the US Army website for Keeble so that interested readers can read the whole thing if they want. If you had issues with the entire section getting pulled, you could have responded to my remarks on the talk page, but you did not. As for the external links I removed, we try to keep them specific to the subject, otherwise this section starts to look like a link farm. I took a look at them and there was no mention of Keeble at the time, thus to me making them superfluous and as I stated in my edit summary, they were more relevant to the units in question.

3/6 - stating the number of Purple Heart received as 2: I am assuming that you were editing as 75.182.107.70. While I concede that you are probably right in terms of how it would normally be written (second award, etc.), I think multiple receipt of a specific award should or can be denoted as a number of how many instances it was awarded. This seems to make more sense to the average reader. Again, you did not discuss how the number of awards should be denoted on the talk page.

3/14 - resizing awards ceremony pic: As I stated in my edit summary, larger versions of images can always be viewed by the reader/viewer clicking on them. Aesthetically I prefer thumbnails vs. larger versions. Here too, you did not raise this as an issue on the talk page.

In short, I am not understanding why you are outraged at another editor's attempts to improve on something that you started while keeping largely silent if you disagreed. I think the AGF and ownership polices in a nutshell fully apply here. I am not trying to convince you to stay here and contribute further. If you want to leave Wikipedia in disgust and outrage, that is up to you. -- Broken Sphere Msg me 22:02, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Foxredlab.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:Foxredlab.JPG. 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) 14:08, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with File:Keeble Rough Rider Award painting.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Keeble Rough Rider Award painting.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.

Disambiguation link notification for May 21
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 66th Armor Regiment, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page 2nd Armored Division (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
