Image Tagging Image:Moody.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Moody.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then 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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Hetar 05:38, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Possible future article suggestions?
First off, massive thanks for your edits to Wikipedia. You sources on FBI records for D.B. Cooper are important, especially as I agree early accounts of the event are much more accurate than later articles. I am curious if you have read or could acquire the book “Prayer Man: The Exoneration of Lee Harvey Oswald” By Stan Dane (2015), which makes use of early accounts to suggest on LHO’s possible whereabouts at 12:30 pm on 11/22/63. I know the JFK conspiracies have been the topic of heated discussions on Wikipedia and tend to be regarded as fringe theories but I am wondering if you could be able to read the Stan Dane prayer man book and use it as a source for the Lee Harvey Oswald article. One way it can be used is Harry Holmes’ testimony in the police interrogation section on Oswald article: the current words, “went downstairs where he encountered Baker” give the impression Oswald said the encounter took place at the second floor lunchroom but Holmes clarifies that Oswald was talking about encountering the officer at the vestibule on the first floor by the front entrance. Holmes describes two set of doors which were in the building vestibule (which were a front lobby between two set of doors). The paragraph could be rewritten to reflect Holmes’ testimony something like: “Oswald said he was at the first floor vestibule by the front entrance and wanted to see what the “commotion” was when he encountered an officer.”

If you haven’t read the “Prayer Man” book, I highly recommend you do so or keep an open mind about it. There was a discussion/agreement a while back that Wikipedia really shouldn't be using the Warren Report so heavily; there are plenty of good secondary sources we could be using. The section is massively over-reliant on the Warren Report. Not just any one section, but all articles related to JFK's death. 60 years later it's largely a primary source. 213.107.1.222 (talk) 04:56, 11 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi there, I honestly don't have any interest in the JFK assassination. The scope is simply too broad for me. D.B. Cooper is very narrowly scoped and is something I consider myself to be an amateur expert on. I don't know anything about JFK's assassination, so I'm afraid that I'm of no help whatsoever in that regard. I appreciate your kind words though! SillyRyno (talk) 13:28, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * Thank You! Glad to see that it is appreciated! SillyRyno (talk) 23:21, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Hey there, I just wanted to introduce myself. I've been editing and rewriting sections of the D.B. Cooper page off and on for a couple of months and I've enjoyed working with you. 2601:644:680:87C:84F4:EA83:640:D0CF (talk) 17:09, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * You're doing a great job. Doing a very valuable service. I'm an attorney, but I'm not so good with grammar and writing, so I appreciate what you've done with it. If you want to hear me rant about the Cooper wiki page, you can look up The Cooper Vortex podcast and you'll hear me ranting about it in an episode that was just released yesterday titled "DB Cooper is misunderstood". I've never been recorded a pod or anything, so I was nervous and just rambled for about 3 hours. At any rate, I appreciate your efforts! SillyRyno (talk) 20:57, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I reworked the new "Clip-on tie" section and I like where it landed. Thoughts, comments, changes? Let me know. Also, I listened to the podcast. Amazing stuff! 2601:644:680:87C:7C2E:BD14:FD29:5C6D (talk) 18:49, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for listening! I appreciate your continued efforts on the wiki. It is critical to get correct information out there. Regarding “subsequent FBI disclosures” I’m not even sure if they have disclosed enough stuff for a stand alone section! SillyRyno (talk) 20:02, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
