Hippie article--Wolof language
Interesting stuff regarding the Wolof language. I took the liberty of moving your general sentence:


 * One possible source of the word Hippie is the Wolof language of Africa where hipi or hepi means to open one's eyes and be aware.

I felt it more properly belonged in the "Origins" section, which discusses various possibilities for the origin of the word "hippie."

Enjoyed seeing the correlation between Wolof words and hippie slang, and it is hard to imagine those being purely coincidental. Somewhat edited your introductory sentence to make it more direct, also named the actual countries in West Africa where Wolof is spoken. You wrote that Wolof is related to "Mandingo," but most references I found were rather obscure (or irrelevant). Did you perhaps mean "Mandinka," which is another language spoken in the same region? I did go ahead and change "Mandingo" to "Mandinka," however please correct me if that is in error.

Great additions! Founders4 07:16, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:1962 Peru Pucallpa Bob Seamount.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:1962 Peru Pucallpa Bob Seamount.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. 22:04, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Dudley Clan Collage.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Dudley Clan Collage.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, 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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

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 02:32, 23 July 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  MBisanz  talk 02:32, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:1950 Kings Heralds Quartet California.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:1950 Kings Heralds Quartet California.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.

 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * 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 Image copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included.
