Wakonda (Ken Kesey)

Thanks for your addition to the article. Do you have a source that shows the filming was also done on the Yaquina River? I changed your edit to read Yaquina Bay, as the references I found show that, but if filming also occurred along the Yaquina River and we have a source that says it, it can be be put back in the article. Thanks and happy editing! Katr67 21:34, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for telling me about the book--the Internet does have its limitations. If you want to put the river back in the article, here is some help with citation templates for citing book references. I'm going to go ahead and make a references section for the article and change my references to that format. (Not until later tonight though.) Thanks for leading me to the Toledo article, by the way, I see it mentions the "Spruce Squadrons", which is something on which I'd like to see an article. (There's a little bit about this in the Kernville article and you can see how the references thing works as well.) Is there anything in your book about them? P.S. If you type 4 tildes (~~~~) you can make a wikilinked signature with a date stamp. Talk to you later, Katr67 00:07, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:The Versatile Burl Ives.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:The Versatile Burl Ives.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:

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 Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 02:09, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Saddam Hussein a Victim of Child Abuse

Hi there, my apologies if it seems like an incorrect revert. Might I suggest you propose the category addition on the talk page first before re-adding it?¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 02:08, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with Image:Marg Osburne.jpg

Image Copyright problem

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Marg Osburne.jpg. 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 03:35, 4 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Favourite Square Dances.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Favourite Square Dances.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 10:58, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your report to WP:AIV

Hi there. I've removed your vandalism report regarding User:OldakQuill editing on the article Marg Osburne, as it doesn't really qualify as vandalism. The other editor appears to be making automated replacements of the phrase "passed away" with "died"; I believe that's probably the better usage, being more encyclopedic. I don't believe it's in the manual of style anywhere, but "died" seems to work better and is more neutral and factual.

My main concern, though, is your reference to the article as "yours." Please note that nobody owns any articles here, and any article is likely to be edited to improve it by multiple editors. Please keep that in mind. The Osburne article looks to need some cleanup to bring it to encyclopedic quality, so you can expect other people to edit it in the future as well.

AfD nomination of List of Rugrats characters

An editor has nominated List of Rugrats characters, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Rugrats characters and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 14:00, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:775jblock.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:775jblock.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 created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ww2censor (talk) 02:53, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is no Copyright to speak of... I took the picture of the subject of the article myself, about 10 years before she passed away. I do not know how to tag an image one has created oneself so that it will not be deleted... any information or assistance y'all could give me will be appreciated Garr1984 (talk) 03:40, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Smiley Bates discography

It would be great to insert a citation for the discography information, if possible.--Soulparadox (talk) 18:09, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 19

Hi. When you recently edited Smiley Bates, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Songs from the Heart, Goin' Home and Songs of Life (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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 03:52, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain how you could link to http://www.globalassociatednews.com/ and not be aware that it was a fake site.—Kww(talk) 03:19, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I had never heard of http://www.globalassociatednews.com/ until tonight and therefore was not aware it was a hoax site.Garr1984 (talk) 03:22, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You would have needed to have read that big "CELEBRITY FAKE NEWS HOAX GENERATOR" banner more than once?—Kww(talk) 03:30, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I swear I never saw the banner Garr1984 (talk) 03:32, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Kww, I have sent you an E-mail offering proof that I did not know the "news story" was a hoax.Garr1984 (talk) 03:49, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you looked at http://drake.bell.swell<remove this filter spoiler>server.com/news/top_stories/auto80.php , then why was the only link that you provided to http://www.globalassociatednews.com/ ? Other admins will review this request: I don't find it credible, but I can't refuse it.—Kww(talk) 03:56, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Because, for whatever reason, I was having problems with citing http://drake.bell.swell<remove this filter spoiler>server.com/news/top_stories/auto80.php on Wikipedia
