Welcome!
Hello, Carsonmc, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
Image copyright problem with Image:Mary Hood at Home.jpg
Image Copyright problem
Thank you for uploading Image:Mary Hood at Home.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! - CobaltBlueTony™talk23:22, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
All 3 you requested were added with the Magus opus distinction. Just so you know editing Wikipedia is difficult at first, but then becomes easier as time goes by. Jccort (talk) 06:34, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Mary Hood
Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Mary Hood, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 07:00, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Re: Mary Hood
Hello. I don't think there's any chance of this article getting deleted, so I wouldn't worry about it. Sometimes the prod tag is misused, in this case it was patently ridiculous. Regards. --Michig (talk) 21:06, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Carsonmc!
We thank you for uploading Image:TS Entrance 3.jpg, but there is a problem. Your image is currently missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. Unless you can help by adding a copyright tag, it may be deleted by an Administrator. If you know this information, then we urge you to add a copyright tag to the image description page. We apologize for this, but all images must confirm to policy on Wikipedia.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. FASTILYsock(TALK)03:48, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reinhardt College
You're quite welcome. I didn't answer that question, but I saw it and thought I could help. It took me ages to remember how to use the "ref name" feature myself, so I know that it can be confusing. Nyttend (talk) 02:10, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Will you get this if I comment on my own page? Yes, it's very confusing, thanks again for your help. I need to do it to the Mary Hood page as well, unless, of course, you want to do that one too. LOL... Cheers, thank you.Carsonmc (talk) 02:13, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No, I only got the message when you posted on my talk page. As you can see, when someone posts on your talk page, you get a big orange "You have new messages" banner, but if you write on your own talk page, I don't get any message at all. If you want to reply on your talk page but you want to let me know about it, simply type {{Talkback|Carsonmc}} to my talk page; this will cause the orange banner to display, and it will give me a note of "You have new messages at Carsonmc's talk page". Nyttend (talk) 02:25, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the Scouting note, too! It's always good to find another Eagle :-) Normally you wouldn't have gotten any help from me tonight — Tuesday is the meeting night for the troop for which I'm an Assistant Scoutmaster, but the snow here in western Ohio is bad enough that it's cancelled. And no, you don't need to start a new section with the equals signs: I get a message when any change is made to the talk page. It's the same for you and for everyone else — there's no way to change it, thankfully. Nyttend (talk) 02:28, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, this weather is making me remember why I love summer :-) The meteorologist on tonight's news said that we've already gotten enough snow to make this the fifth-snowiest winter on record, and more is predicted for the coming days. I want to come to Atlanta :-) By the way — have you yet encountered the idea of wikiprojects? They're groups of editors that work together on various subjects. If you'd like to put your Scouting interests to work here at Wikipedia, you could consider signing up as a member of the Scouting WikiProject. Nyttend (talk) 02:48, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Joining is very simple — just go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Scouting/Members and add your username to the list. Don't worry that joining obligates you to active participation in the project; you're free to work as much or as little as you want. And about the historic buildings — if you're interested in helping with articles related to historic preservation, you could look into the National Register of Historic Places WikiProject, with which I'm quite active. Even if you're not interested in joining this project, there's one way in which you could contribute very actively — we always need more photos of sites on the National Register of Historic Places. You can find a list for any Georgia county by going to National Register of Historic Places listings in Georgia and clicking on the name of a county in the chart below "Current listings by county". Thanks! Nyttend (talk) 03:14, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Situation with the softball player is resolved. In the future, you can undo this yourself quite easily: go into the article history (for example, here) and click the "undo" button at the end of the line that describes the most recent edit. This isn't to say "don't bother me!" but rather "it's not hard to do; here's how" :-) Nyttend (talk) 01:33, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If this individual continues to do this, it will be an issue — you should warn him/her that repeated addition of nonnotables is against standard practices here at Wikipedia, and if it happens multiple times, you should treat it as vandalism. In case you've not encountered the standard warning templates, look at {{uw-vandalism1}} and the pages to which it links below the "Part of the uw-vandalism user warning series" header. Nyttend (talk) 01:46, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Peters House/Ivy Hall
Thanks for contributing the images - I remember eating there in the late '70s when it was The Mansion Restaurant; I was a poor starving student at Tech and a family friend took us there. Atlanta is rather underrepresented in the pictures line, so its good to see somebody's getting out and taking pictures.
The infobox image is a bit tricky, because you have to leave off the File: prefix when inserting the image into the infobox, which isn't consistent with other infobox templates, and I consistently screw it up. You can see how I inserted it,, and I think the gallery is fine. Acroterion(talk)15:14, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
File copyright problem with File:Ponce de Leon Apartments.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Ponce de Leon Apartments.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.
Acroterion, I have pics of dozens and dozens of buildings, but only of two on the list above. I added them. I'll go through the NR list in Fulton County and add there if I see any I have. Carsonmc (talk) 05:01, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed your note to user Plumalley. I got the article started for you on the Georgian Terrace Hotel. I'll leave it to you to add the details. By the way, when it comes to Wikipedia's quirky footnote format, I've gotten a lot of use from the website [1]. Canadian2006 (talk) 02:05, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
To Acroterion: If you're referring to an NRHP reference number, I don't know the number. Some sources (such as the hotel's own webpage[2]) claim that the hotel is on the NRHP, but I question whether that is accurate. I can't find it on the National Park Service's own listing of HRHP sites.[3] I suspect that it is merely a contributing building in a historic district. From Canadian2006 (talk) 04:04, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, I intended to address the question to Carsonmc, but I think you're right; I suspect it's part of the Midtown HD. The Georgian Terrace is in any case sufficiently notable on its own, and would be a major contributing building in the HD. I suspect the hotel's website isn't interested in the distinction between contributing property and individual listing. Acroterion(talk)04:09, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Canadian2006 and Acroterion (I hope you both get this message, I cannot remember how the talk pages work with each other).
First, thank you, Canadian2006. The page looks fantastic. I'll add the history that I have. It's quite interesting. I will try to get around to it this weekend, if not by the end of next week. And the source link will come in quite handy. As I usually pull from multiple sources and then compile it into one narrative, I generally put all the cites at the bottom of the block text, e.g. Reinhardt College history.
To both of you... as far as whether the building is actually listed in and of itself or as a contributing building, I'll have to dig around for the actual fact. According to my notes, it would have been listed (in either case) in 1986. It's listing blocked local plans for demolition. I'll find out - I know being listed doesn't prevent a bldg. from being torn down, that comes, generally, from local protections, et al. In Atl. from the City and Atl. Urban Design in the form of a Landmark Bldg. So, hum...
Acroterion, I think you said you were from Atl. or went to school here, Canadian2006, were you originally form this area or have you visited? The intersection the Georgian Terrace sits on, in my opinion, is one of the finest in Atl. Stoddart's Ponce de Leon Apartments sits on one corner, The Fox Theater on the other, and, then, of course, the GA Terrace on the third corner.
The article looks great, and does a fine job of documenting its notability, completely apart from any National Register listing. As a major contributing building in an HD, there would be some shielding effect against demolition. I remember the neighborhood well; there are several buildings from the '60s that are no more - the round C&S Tower at North Ave. and W. Peachtree, the white First National Bank building at Peachtree and North. The Georgian Terrace and the Fox formed the anchor to the neighborhood. I went to Tech from 1976-1980 and returned for a master's degree 1983-1985. If we can determine its NRHP status, we can adapt the infobox accordingly, as there's an option for contributing buildings. Acroterion(talk)19:11, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the comments on the page. I loved putting it together. I remember the C&S Tower and the First Nat. Bank, sadly, you can see its demolition on youtube.com. Have you ever been to Atlanta Time Machine. The site has great pics of the city and of the buildings you mentioned. As far as determining the NR district info. for the Fox area, the City of Atlanta's website mentions this: Dunagan, H. Lee. "Fox Theatre District" National Register of Historic Places, which may help us in our endeavors. The next page I want to create is for the Rufus Rose House on Peachtree. If I win the lottery, I'm buying it to save it. It's in horrible condition. See the pics of it I posted on the NR Fulton County page. Again, thanks for all of your help.

To understand what's going on, you'll need to look into our non-free content criteria. Among the requirements for using a nonfree image is that its presence be essentially invaluable to the article. For this reason, it's quite okay to have an image of a nonfree book cover on the article about the book — it helps readers of the article to indentify the book in a way that nothing else can. However, book covers aren't essential to understanding an author; consequently, a nonfree book cover shouldn't be used on an article about the book's author.
One of the images is fine to keep, however — File:DSCN0250.JPG. Unlike the others, this cover isn't original enough to be copyrighted: there are no pictures, and the sole content is a little bit of text and a green background. There's no way that someone can copyright the name of a book (imagine someone getting sued for writing the title of a book and nothing more!) or of its author, and the statement about it being an award winner is likewise too short and simple to be copyrighted. Since fonts themselves can't be copyrighted, and since you can't copyright the color green, there's nothing eligible for copyright in this image. Therefore, this image doesn't fall under the nonfree content criteria, and since it will help somewhat in the author's article, there's nothing wrong with having it. Nyttend (talk) 21:32, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Nyttend for this explanation. It makes perfect sense. I guess on a personal level, I hate seeing something deleted after it has existed, without attracting notice, for two years. Too, humans are visually stimulated, so the more, rather than lack of, photos in an article, the more visually appealing, I think, and the more it breaks up the monotony of the text, the more we (the modern reader in this visual age) are drawn to it. Even smaller paragraphs relaxs and tricks the mind, making the text more digestible (read Proust's In Search of Lost Time for the opposite effect)! ;-)
All that being said, I understand Fastily's reason for deleting the two photos. It's diligence in use - fair and justified - that make Wikipedia what it is, rather than a place for people to post anything they want. As always, thank you both for helping me learn the Wiki-way! Carsonmc (talk) 17:26, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the late response. Ah, yes, about those files, pretty much per what Nyttend said, they don't exactly satisfy WP:NFCC#8 (Although you could upload one file instead, if applicable - see WP:NFCC#3a). Your contributions are greatly appreciated, so I hope this doesn't send you a message suggesting otherwise. Best, FASTILY(TALK)01:29, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No worries on the late response. You are very busy on here, it's totally understandable. Not quite sure I understand the WP:NFCC#3a message. And, no, the possible deletion of these two photos on the Mary Hood page does not send me a message of not being appreciated. You are just keeping Wiki well oiled and consistent. Cheers Carsonmc (talk) 03:42, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NFCC#3a just means that we shouldn't over use non-free content when one file would suffice (e.g. A user uploads 25 copyrighted screenshots of say, Halo 2 gameplay. But why use 25 files to illustrate gameplay when one single image already gets the job done? Not only that, there are copyright concerns associated with excessive use of copyrighted content on a project who is licensed under the freeCC-BY-SA 3.0 license.) WP:NFCC#3a also applies to Derivative Works (namely user generated collages of non-free images which all illustrate the same topic - so a collage of several images of a copyrighted statue where there is no FOP would be unacceptable). Hope that made sense (feel free to ask me to clarify if necessary). Best wishes, FASTILY(TALK)02:36, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Permission Granted for use of Rufus M. Rose House
Hello, Carsonmc. You have new messages at Fastily's talk page. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
Hi Carsonmc. I just received a note from MBisanz (see User talk:MBisanz#File:Rufus M. Rose House 1903.jpg). I guess the email wan't sufficiently detailed. For an email to be acceptable for OTRS, it must indicate a specific license (see WP:ICT/All for a full list of WIkipedia-compatible licenses) and the file name, which in this case is "File:Rufus M. Rose House 1903.jpg". If you don't want to go through the hassle to contact the Georgia Archives, it's fine - I understand. But if you feel the image would really benefit Wikipedia, then by all means, I encourage you to try again. All the best, FASTILYsock(TALK)03:25, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Re:Rufus M. Rose Pic
Hey Carsonmc. I don't see anything obviously wrong with File:Rufus M. Rose Historic Photo.jpg. As far as I can tell, it looks fine as is - at any rate, it's rather unlikely another sysop would go through and delete the file. Thank you for going through the hassle to get permission for this file (despite the fact we didn't need it, as, the file is public domain) and uploading it to Wikipedia. Have a cookie for your efforts!! :) Best, FASTILYsock(TALK)23:36, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Fastily has given you a cookie! Cookies promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a cookie, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy munching!
Spread the goodness of cookies by adding {{subst:Cookie}} to someone's talk page with a friendly message, or eat this cookie on the giver's talk page with {{subst:munch}}!
Thanks, Fastily. The historic photo is added, and I'm pleased. It's important to show what this house looked like as it is currently threatened due to neglect. Who knows, maybe someone will see it in its glamour on Wiki and buy it. Thanks for all of your help with this. I'm sure you're tired of hearing from me. ;-) Carsonmc (talk)
License tagging for File:TS-LOGO.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:TS-LOGO.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
