Welcome to Wikipedia
I took the liberty of adding some formatting to your article on the Cyrus Gates Farmstead. I also took out some of the POV (Point of View) text. You might want to reword portions of this article to make it more objective. You might also remove some of the descriptions that appear elsewhere (e.g., about the Underground Railroad and Fugitive Slave Act) and instead add them to the "See also" section. You can also add "wiki links" to related articles by enclosing names between two square brackets, like I did in the "See also" section. Once again, welcome to wikipedia, and thanks for contributing! wrp103 (Bill Pringle) 18:23, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Cyrus Gates main house.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Cyrus Gates main house.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. 17:07, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Teafee


The article Teafee has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Unsourced neologism, no evidence for notability

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. Pam D  11:51, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
