Unspecified source for Image:Preserve Me A Seat.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Preserve Me A Seat.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, then 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, then 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-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 10:50, 24 March 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr 10:50, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Image:NogginMagazine V1N2 Nov1990 Page01.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is a redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

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:NogginMagazine V1N2 Nov1990 Page01.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.

April 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Indian Hills Theater has been reverted.

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): googlepages\.com (links: http://nebraskawriter.googlepages.com).

If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 23:08, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Visitor pattern

I saw your complaints about the Visitor pattern article. I agree! The article is lacking a good Motivation paragraph. I've started to write such a Motivation section the Talk page of the article. Please add your comments and help me improve the Visitor pattern page. --Objarni (talk) 08:52, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article Tom Hunter (novelist) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No reliable third-party sources provided that could establish notability

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. §FreeRangeFrog 00:15, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]


I oppose your deletion by pointing out several facts that you chose not to find since you self reported that you curtailed your search merely because the Google results were too numerous for you to bother. Your lack of diligence in no way justifies so summary an action.

The novelist Tom Hunter is represented by a New York Agent, The Doug Grad Literary Agency. http://www.dgliterary.com/the-butcher-of-leningrad.html "The Butcher of Leningrad" is forthcoming by Antenna Books, a New York City publisher. [1]

The magazine "Noggin" that you dismissed so peremptorily is held in the Special Collections department of the University of Iowa Library. The magazine was written about in every region newspaper for its groundbreaking content. This entry is justified and backed up with several outside sources.

This entry contains links to other Wikipedia articles, for "Noggin Magazine".

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tom Hunter (novelist), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Thriller (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
