Orphaned fair use image (Image:Jsj-seal.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Jsj-seal.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Ynhh.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ynhh.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

edits on List of NHLs in CT
thanks for chipping in with improved descriptions for several NHLs in List of National Historic Landmarks in Connecticut. Although i liked my wording for yale bowl, "where the Eli's rock the Crimson" or whatever, albeit was somewhat informal :). U r not one of those Crimson types, i hope.  As u see descriptions needed for other NHLs in CT too.  It happens i am more concerned with descriptions on List of National Historic Landmarks in New York, hope to bring that up to Featured List status sometime soon.  Help, anywhere, appreciated. Keep up the good work.  cheers, doncram (talk) 03:07, 23 January 2008 (UTC)


 * got ur message, comprendo u r not the enemy on the Charles. nice catch on the merger needed for Old State House (Hartford) vs. the article i had created, and nice job doing the merger.  glad u r on board! doncram (talk) 04:12, 25 January 2008 (UTC)


 * You've been adding nice, professional descriptions for numerous NHLs on the list. I've enjoyed noticing your progress.  You seem to have a knack for it;  keep up the good work! doncram (talk) 22:57, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Robert R. Wood
Apologies for the "it doesn't say that" on the Robert R. Wood article. I hadn't figured that there was more than one page on the link. Good work on expanding this article.Cutler (talk) 20:12, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Uncle Wiggly
Concerning the redirect to Howard Roger Garis, what do you think of a disambiguation page instead, which lists the Uncle Wiggily character, the game, and the band? I am a bit concerned with just a straight redirect as the two items have different spellings (Wiggily vs Wiggly), and those looking for the band are redirected to the Garis page with no mention of the band. Thanks. ikes (talk) 17:03, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Captain Nathaniel B. Palmer House
Hey, thanks for touching up the Capt. Nathaniel B. Palmer House article. I had tried to make it look nicer before, but I'm not very handy with the infoboxes. Anyway, it looks great now, and I just wanted to thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ParkerHiggins (talk • contribs) 18:07, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Fourth of July, or bust, Thanks!
Hey, i am not sure if you even knew that the Fourth of July, or Bust, cleanup drive was ongoing. But your work cleaning up the List of NHLs in CT has been great, and it's been an inspiration for me to develop similar lists in other state areas, hoping that others like you would adopt them too. Please consider joining wp:NRHP, too! Cheers, doncram (talk) 16:28, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Elizabeth Shippen Green
Hi, I've located a high resolution version of an Elizabeth Shippen Green illustration and performed a digital restoration on the file. Have added it to the biographies of Green and the writer, and also to the children's literature article (where, believe it or not, the only book illustration had been black and white fair use). Am planning to nominate the restoration for featured picture. If successful, an example of Green's work and a link to her biography will run on Wikipedia's main page.

At present, the article is a bit short to sustain three images on its own. So I've copied your upload to Commons and created a category for Green there, and replaced that image with a link to the Commons gallery. Hope you have no objection to that solution? Best regards and thank you for the articles you've contributed. Durova Charge! 02:50, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

 * It's looking good. It would be great if there were more info on her comic art - she's really a pioneer - but you're right, there's not much easily  found about her.  Staib (talk) 19:56, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback - much appreciated - I haven't found much more specific ref on that - but I can expand it a bit - I have a few minor points I could add until more info becomes available. Cheers,--Scott Free (talk) 00:53, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Hey, I noticed you developed the article. Thanks!  It would be great if you'd like to develop any other New Haven ones.  Please note i mentioned a few possible DYK ideas at Talk:National Register of Historic Places listings in New Haven, Connecticut.  Also i added a summary note about the Goffe Street one at the list-article;  any interest you might have in helping develop that, too, would be most appreciated.
