AIV Reporting

Hi, I wanted to give you a couple of suggestions about editing Wikipedia, related to your recent AIV report. First, please add new comments to the bottom of a talk page. Don't worry, the user will still see what you have to say. Second, please follow the standard reporting procedure on WP:AIV, which is to use the {{IPVandal}} and {{Vandal}} template. These help the bots removing the templates from the page. Let me know if you have further questions. alphachimp 00:39, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work

Nice work on Chickasaw Wars and Chickasaw Campaign of 1736! I've been slowly poking at making a page on the Yamasee War, which currently is only briefly mentioned on the Yamasee page. These two Chickasaw pages are inspiring! Pfly 08:09, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow thanks a lot, I look forward to seeing your work on the Yamasees! Hughespj 10:28, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Valley

Hey, I appreciate your work on the Vaucluse article, is it at all possible you can get more information or pictures on other articles in the Midland Valley area? I have created articles for Warrenville, and Langley. I have also edited some information with regards to Graniteville. I understand that information for those places are very hard to find, that's why I'm kind of hoping they incorporate. Anyways, any information would be most useful, thanks.

Thanks, there is so much to do and so little time, but hopefully some day something can be done. Hughespj 05:17, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

File:HorseCreekValley-SC Boles 1871.png missing description details

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as:

is missing a description and/or other details on its image description page. If possible, please add this information. This will help other editors make better use of the image, and it will be more informative to readers.

If the information is not provided, the image may eventually be proposed for deletion, a situation which is not desirable, and which can easily be avoided.

If you have any questions, please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Theo's Little Bot (error?) 04:47, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have put forth a good faith effort to include relevant excerpts of images that are clearly allowable. But I have had it with Wikipedia bots deleting images obviously well over 100 years old, or clearly marked as works of the US government, and clearly described as such. Hopefully somebody someday will bother to look at something for more than eight mcroseconds before deleting another's conscientious work, or can take the time to tell me specifically what to do to fix the problem. Don't give me this 'easily avoidable' bull either - I have scoured the recommended practices for hours without being able to figure out what these bots are looking for. After a few more years of this, Wikipedia will be tweetable - good luck with that! Hughespj (talk) 15:59, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Those are very cool, it might be best to do an article about the Graniteville Canal, with a paragraph about the ducks, all linked to the existing Graniteville, SC page. I don't think I can help though because I have a heck of a time submitting images nowadays. Some a$$bot always wants to delete them because I didn't check some invisible box somewhere - including photos I took myself and plainly said so in the description. Any ideas?

i am not sure, i have uploaded a total of 4 pic's 3 of which i have taken myself and have had no problem.

try uploading them to Wikimedia Commons first, ( and check the boxes. lol) http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Wingman1 to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Wingman1 and to the page i wanted them one.


as for the canal, i will need to find some online sources i can cite, in order to do the page, - and this is the part that stresses me, my writeing skills is not the best. Wingman1 04:28, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
