Image source problem with Image:AHSAA logo.PNG
![Image Copyright problem](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/26/Nuvola_apps_important_blue.svg/64px-Nuvola_apps_important_blue.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:AHSAA logo.PNG. 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.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
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 Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:53, 6 December 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr If you've written a quality article... 17:53, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Well done on finding those sources: I'm sometimes a bit doubtful when I see golf courses come up on new page patrol but these look good. Would be better if one of them were linked on the www I gues, but you can't have everything! Kim Dent-Brown (Talk) 18:12, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Notable Auburnites
Who are you to decide who is a 'notable' auburnite, and who is not? To me that smacks of an opinion, rather than a hard fact. People with different interests and backgrounds would all have different ideas on who is notable, and who is not. To some people who don't care about football, why does it matter is someone was once the 3rd string punter for Auburn University? You might likewise think the same of someone else in a different field, and that's fine. But how can you edit off someone who was in the same classification/field as another person listed in this article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.168.226.177 (talk) 22:15, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
- You raise a good point. I have reworked the list to be a little more objective and only include those who are sufficiently notable to have a Wikipedia article. That way we can use WP:BIO as a defacto notability guideline. Thanks for your suggestions! -- Lissoy (talk) 00:33, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of 2006 AHSAA Football Playoffs

Speedy deletion of Image:Mark Spencer-cropped.jpg
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/48px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on Image:Mark Spencer-cropped.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 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.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Mark Spencer-cropped.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Replaceable fair use Image:James Fukai.jpg
![Replaceable fair use](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/32px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:James Fukai.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Polly (Parrot) 22:18, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of O. B. Drake Middle School, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Drake Middle School. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 22:05, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (Image:Auburn-AL-city-flag.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Auburn-AL-city-flag.gif. 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 04:07, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
What you need is WikiSpot
Hi. Obviously you are a huge fan of the city of Auburn. I'm not sure of your real name, but you must have heard of me because you listed me in the first version of the Auburn High graduates page.
It's interesting enough to have all of this content for Auburn in Wikipedia. But it would be much more useful for Auburn to have what Davis has right now, a WikiSpot site. See the page for DavisWiki, and DavisWiki itself. DavisWiki is so influential that just about every city official and restaurant owner in town know about it.

Wikipedia Ambassador Program is looking for Campus Ambassadors in Houston
Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you are listed as a Wikipedian connected with Rice University. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at another Houston school, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.
Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).
If you live in Houston and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from the area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 20:39, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Auburn high school sources
Hi, Lissoy. You surely see the above four messages regarding permission (apologies regarding that, but we need it for legal reasons... renunciation of one's copyrights isn't valid unless it's in writing... it's complicated), but I'm writing about a few other images you've uploaded. Specifically, they don't have a source:
- File:Auburn-high-school-class-of-1897.jpg
- File:Auburn-high-girls-baseball-team-1910s.jpg
- File:Auburn-high-school-1870.jpg
- File:Auburn-female-college-chapel.jpg
Can you try to remember where you got those photos? It's actually important because US copyrights are based on when something is published, not when it's created. If any of the above images was published within a certain timeframe, they actually aren't free (again, it's complicated [1]). I'm sure most editors will be too picky about it, but can you please tell us how you got the images originally, whether scanned from the school archives, scanned from a yearbook, family collection, etc.
Also there is this image, which you assert was published before 1964 but never give the publication source:
Sorry for the legalese; hope you're able to provide as much of this information as possible!
PS. If you don't end up responding here in the next few days, please leave me a note on my talk page that you've responded when you finally do. Magog the Ogre (talk) 13:06, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
Again, I would appreciate if you could respond to my concerns on the above images. Magog the Ogre (talk) 06:18, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- It took me a while to go back and dig out the information you were looking for, but here we go:
- File:Auburn-high-school-class-of-1897.jpg - taken in 1897, first published in the Lee County Bulletin as part of article "Miss Lucile Burton Says High School Graduation Was All-Girl in 1897", May 29, 1947 with no notice of copyright. Based on this, it should fall under PD-PRE1964.

- Let me know if more information is needed about these works. - Lissoy (talk) 05:15, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
Great. Most of those seem good enough. Some of them are probably limited publication, but I'm frankly not going to pick on it unless a rights-holder gets upset about it (I don't know enough about the circumstances of the distribution to the public, and I doubt it will be an issue anyway). As for the second to last one, is there any other information you can provide, like which section you found it in, and if it's ever been published in any way?
Creek War of 1836
I saw you had started to improve the article Creek War of 1836 on your userpage:Creek War of 1836, but stopped work on it in late 2010. I would like to encourage you to finish it or atleast add what you already have to the present article. It is much better than what is currently there. 66.214.13.190 (talk) 23:44, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
Bee Hive name?
I've been looking at the article for Bee Hive, Auburn, and I'm pretty sure the community should be spelled as Beehive. The USGS GNIS lists it as Beehive and the local road is Beehive Rd. I know the map you included on the page lists it as Bee Hive though. Should we go by the GNIS, since that's what is used for all the other place names on Wikipedia? Also, I was wondering if we could classify Beehive as an unincorporated community, since according to that map and others, it lies outside of the Auburn city limits? If we can classify as that, I'll add it to the Lee County page and template. Thanks!Dofftoubab (talk) 21:36, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
