Proposed deletion of File:Double Cola, scan of can.jpg


The file File:Double Cola, scan of can.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "unused, low-res, no obvious use"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 file's talk page.

Please consider addressing 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 files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

My apologies!
I have undone my reversion of your edit to Lee Wiley. I must have accidentally clicked the link that caused the reversion; I did not intend to do so. In fact, I appreciate your adding the "#page=13" to the link. I didn't know about that technique for going to a specific page in a PDF file. I will try to remember to use it in the future.

Disambiguation link notification for September 30
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of Lux Radio Theatre episodes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Barry Sullivan. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:17, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Question on book links
I see you've been making edits to numerous articles to change the URL from the Internet Archive version of the Dunning book to the Google Books version. Why? Seems like a lot of work for no benefit, since both show Dunning's book to the reader. User:InternetArchiveBot programmatically updates book references to add a link to the reference to a readable copy of the book. The bot task was approved in 2019. Schazjmd  (talk)  21:54, 17 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Some background.
 * Much of this grew out of contributor Teblick's multiple contributions to old time radio history. I noted that he often cited John Dunning's 'On the Air: The Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio', but without a link.
 * So I began the process of adding links to Google Books sources. In early 2020 InternetArchiveBot starting switching the links to an Internet Archive source. I found the links to be inferior, but I did not feel like fighting a bot. But recently, as I am sure you know, Internet Archive lost their copyright court case, so I decided to review the situation in lieu of their now unsure situation.
 * Why I feel the Google Books links are superior.
 * 1. As mentioned, Internet Archive lost their court case. Google Books already has an agreement so what they are offering is acceptable. Internet Archive is now problematical. So while Google Books' links are close to a sure thing, Internet Archive's are not.
 * 2. I can create Google Books links that take you right to the exact page, and when I use the Dunning books identified as 'id= EwtRbXNca0oC' or 'id= Fi5wPDBiGfMC' (and in most cases I can) then when I use 'dq=' this will take you directly to some specified text, showing you the full page, and highlighting the specified text in yellow. At best, the Internet Archive links that the bot has created will only take you to the page, leaving you to search for the location of the desired text.
 * 3. The Google Books links that I create work directly, completely, and immediately. And you don't have to set up an account to gain the necessary access. For example, for the 'The Great Gildersleeve' write-up my Google Books link has immediate access to all of the pages. The Internet Archives link that the bot substituted for mine meant you could only see the first two pages, then had to "Log in and Borrow" (and renew every hour).
 * Hope this answers your questions. TeemPlayer (talk) 09:08, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Frank Buck (animal collector)
Hello TeemPlayer, just wanted to comment on your revert of a misspelled word within a referenced citation. Here is the exact title extracted from the AbeBooks reference: "Advertisement for Dodge 640 wih Melvin Purvis, Bing Crosby, William Harbridge, Warner Baxter, Mayor M.E. Trull, Carl Hubbell, Frank Buck, Roy Chapman Andrews Kitchen Appliances". Note that the word "with" is misspelled as "wih"; consequently, I added the "[sic]" designation to show that the word was quoted exactly as it stands in the original, which is a common practice. So, I'm not sure what your objective was when you wrote, "(Correcting spelling error that 'Woodlot' made worse (check your work!))". Is there a new policy for copy edits that I'm not aware of? Please explain. Regards. Woodlot (talk) 19:45, 20 September 2023 (UTC)


 * You are correct.
 * I changed it back.
 * Thanks. TeemPlayer (talk) 22:10, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
