non-free image in userspace
Hi, in your userspace draft in User:Spy007au/Sandbox5]] you re-included an image here. Non-free images are only allowed to be used in mainspace articles, they can not be used in userspace drafts (or anywhere outside of mainspace). See WP:NFCC for more info. May I ask you to remove the image while you are still working on it in your userspace, and re-insert it when it has moved to mainspace? Thanks. --Dirk Beetstra T C 12:21, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Long_Gone_Movie.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Long_Gone_Movie.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 05:39, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Phil Lamason Interview.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Phil Lamason Interview.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

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.

Added name
Thanks for adding Alfred Balachowsk's name to the Stéphane Hessel article. However, did you check the ref to make sure it was in there? If not, that needs to be fixed. Since you can't fix the ref, the sentence needs to be adjusted (doesn't it?), perhaps by finding an additional ref with his name mentioned. Thanks! Marrante (talk) 07:48, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

KLB Club
I apologize for contacting you this way but I was unsure of how to reach you. I am hoping to get some information from you regarding the KLB Club. My grandfather was a member but didn't talk about it much and now that he has passed I would very much like to get more information. If you can help me or point me in the right direction I would be very grateful. If this is not the forum for this then again, I apologize. I am new to Wikipedia. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.171.132.46 (talk) 22:53, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Happy to help. What information are you after? I own several books related to the KLB Club and also own 2 very good documentary films (DVD's). I have also met Phil Lamason, the senior officer at Buchenwald and spoke extensively with his son recently. If you could let me know exactly what you are after, I'll try and help in any way I can.

File source problem with File:The sinking of the Steamship Ville du Havre.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:The sinking of the Steamship Ville du Havre.jpg.

Thank you so much for responding. I would appreciate any and all information you are willing to share. I have to tell you that I don't know much and am completely obsessed with getting answers and information specifically pertaining to my grandfather but also about the story as a whole. Is this the best way for us to communicate? I am hesitant to include any personal info (as I told you, I am new to Wikipedia). If you could advise me as to the best way for us to communicate I would be grateful. Thank you.

Phil Lamason
You go to ITNC. Cheers :) Brian | (Talk) 15:12, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Phil Lamason 11
Regarding our changes to Phil Lamason, where do we go from here?. You say your reference goes to a book which says "it was a note." (It is not accessible to the readers). I edited per the reference given which is accessible to readers, which states "At great risk, word was sent out to the German Luftwaffe ......". These guys were on death row, so the likelihood of someone deliberately putting incriminating info on paper is zilch. Why don't we simply say "information was passed" to the Luftwaffe? Do you think that gets around it? 03:43, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I have the book in front of me, so I'll quote exactly what it says: Their future looked bleak, though Lamason and most of his group would eventually make it out of Buchenwald with the help of Burney, who had a note smuggled out to a nearby Luftwaffe station at Nohra, informing them that Allied aircrew were being held at the camp. When you read this in conjunction with the book Destination Buchenwald (page 133) which states: They (Burney & Lamason) decided to smuggle out a note, to be delivered to the Luftwaffe hieracry, to let them know that aircrew personnel were being illegally held in a concentration camp. Given that there is two independent sources of information, both stating it was a note, makes it fairly certain for me. Also, and this is just my opinion, given the severity of their situation, I would think having important facts 'not lost in verbal translation', would be crucial. An actual note, (written by Lamason or Burney I assume?), would be treated far more seriously by the Luftwaffe. The fact that books are being used as references should not be an issue, provided they are legitimate sources (which both books are). Anyway, have a think of what I have said and let me know.

DYK nomination of Emily McInerny
Hello! Your submission of Emily McInerny at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Redtigerxyz Talk 17:34, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
 * This currently needs your attention: a quid pro quo review is required for it to proceed. Thanks! BlueMoonset (talk) 02:27, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Please excuse my ignorance, but quid pro quo means "this for that". But what exactly are you asking me to do? Thanks, Spy007au (talk) 09:27, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
 * For those people who have previously submitted at least five of their articles to DYK, additional submissions require the nominator to perform a review of another nominated article for their own article to be eligible: a quid pro quo (QPQ) review. Emily McInerny qualifies in terms of its quality, but you have not yet done a review of another person's article, and you have well over five previous submissions. This is the only thing holding up final approval of Emily at this time.


 * There's a DYK reviewing guide at WP:DYKR, and the rules for articles are at WP:DYK and WP:DYKSG. There's also a brief explanation on the nominations page, and a summary in brief above the edit window when you're editing a nomination template. Please feel free to let me know if you have any further questions. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:39, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

OK, thanks for the clarification. I have reviewed Indigo Lake (Ohio). Spy007au (talk) 10:01, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I have replied on it, but I think the review was technically incorrect as the 1500 character limit includes spaces (see criterion A1).-- Gilderien Chat&#124;List of good deeds 10:25, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I replied. If the source is reliable, we'll have to find another reviewer as I don't think you can approve a hook you came up with.-- Gilderien Chat&#124;List of good deeds 16:18, 11 October 2012 (UTC)


 * That is an important point: if a reviewer proposes a new hook, that hook needs a new reviewer. However, Spy007au doesn't appear to have completed the rest of the review: I see no signs that there have been neutrality or paraphrasing checks on the article, for example, and the first reference citation is a bare ref, something that is not allowed in a nominated article and must be fixed. The Haunted Cuyahoga site is self-published and does not appear sufficiently reliable by Wikipedia standards. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:08, 11 October 2012 (UTC)


 * With all due respect to everyone, I'll bow out and you can remove my DYK nomination. I enjoy writing articles, and occasionally I would DYK one (this was my first DYK nomination since July last year). But I do not enjoy reviewing or critiquing other peoples work. Sorry, it's not for me. I'll stick with writing articles only and stay away from the DYK process. Regards, Spy007au (talk) 06:37, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Timeline of women's basketball history
First I appreciate your additions to the Timeline of women's basketball history. While I am attempting to search for non-US items, so it isn't overly US oriented, my background is US, so it makes it easier for me to find US related items.

I've been mulling over writing some sort of criteria for inclusion. I haven't yet, but maybe this will spur me to do so.

If noting that Australia being the 52nd member of an organization is notable, then surely there are 51 other items of equal notability. And that would be hopelessly cluttering. I'm going to remove it, but let's talk.-- SPhilbrick (Talk)  23:13, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Robyn Maher.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Robyn Maher.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Sumanch (talk) 05:20, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Proposal to start a women's basketball task force
I'm very interested in improving coverage of women's basketball. I thought briefly about forming a Wikiproject, but while researching, realized that a task force would be ideal. There are two major advantages of a task force over a Wikiproject. First is that the task force can leave some of the bureaucracy to the parent Wikiproject. Second, and possibly more important, is that a task force can have more than one parent Wikiproject. While WikiProject Basketball is an obvious parent, so is WikiProject Women's sport, and the task force may be able to draw from both.

According to this process for starting a task force, the first thing to do is gather consensus, so I am sending this to some editors who have been active in editing relevant articles. If there is sufficient interest, I'll take a first stab at filling out the task force template and creating a draft task force page.

At this point, all I need is an answer to two questions: WikiProject Basketball/Women's basketball has been created. I haven't yet added it to the Wikiproject pages, but will do that, however, I wanted to let you know it exists, and has some suggested tasks. SPhilbrick  (Talk)  19:12, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
