Thanks for uploading File:Crew Clothing logo 2015.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:44, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This can just be deleted. The company have uploaded their logo which effectively makes this fair use copy no longer needed. Blythwood (talk) 13:35, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nice Work Blythwood. Dd5567 (talk) 14:09, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ellen Heaton

Thanks for adding the extra references. The question of where Ellen's paintings went when she died is an interesting one, I think they are in various places now, and I don't know the answer to how they got there (yet). We ran out of time at the Editathon earlier so Leela0808 and myself will get back to it later, and there are other questions which we should be able to clear up locally - I'll put more on the article's talk page so it's not a one-to-one thing.

Thank You

Blythwood, Thank you for the feedback and edits on the Pola Stout article. It was my first attempt in contributing to Wikipedia. It was nice to see the process at work. --Tmob212 (talk) 13:48, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

An Old Lady

Blythwood~

When ever I see your name, I have to think of an old lady, with white curly hair and tea... probably something to do with an American's views of stereotypical Downton Abbeyesque Britain. Very sorry about that! :-)

I just wanted to thank you very much for reviewing and adding to many of the pages I have created and other articles throughout Wikipedia; it has been greatly appreciated, probably more so than anything on a talk page could say. Thanks again, Damibaru (talk) 21:54, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Damibaru: - Ha, thanks! I'm neither that old nor that ladylike, but it's a persona I can but hope to grow into - if it's OK I've quoted your assessment on my user page. Keep up the good work! Blythwood (talk) 22:49, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @Blythwood: That made me laugh! Sure, it's fine. Cheers! Damibaru (talk) 14:15, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Life of girls - nomination for speedy deletion

I doubt the article will be kept, but how is Life of girls vandalism? To me it looks like a network show from one of the Slavic countries. However, I may be missing something since it isn't a topic familiar to me, so I wanted to ask you about it. Thanks! 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 14:18, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is entirely reasonable, and is closer to my own analysis. It think it is somebody's wishful thinking, but I wouldn't call it vandalism (people get touchy about that), I would nominate for WP:A11 as made up. I just wanting to make sure, for my own education, I wasn't missing something obvious. Thanks for the explanation! All the best, 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 14:49, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I'm just letting you know I haven't finished the page yet. I'll tell you when I'm done. Please don't delete the page yet. I am making changes and will source the page at the end, after I have collected all my information. I can explain the significance later.

Thanks a lot!

YipB19 (talk) 06:15, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Blythwood. I am wtriting to inf rm younof your speedy deletion of a page named sunday as shurab and i believe that this is unfair to me and I hope that you will not do such deletions again. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dd5567 (talk • contribs) 09:50, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

Would it be possible if I could get your email so we can talk?

Cheers,

@YipB19: - sorry, there's nothing to discuss. Wikipedia isn't for writing articles about yourself. All the best in future, though. Blythwood (talk) 11:41, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Can you at least not delete the page, please? I spent a lot of time on it and it would be a waste of my time and effort. I tried my best to make it look good and add all the necessary information.

DYK for Garamond

On 9 March 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Garamond, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that many fonts named Garamond, such as that included with Microsoft Office, are actually based on work by Jean Jannon more than 50 years after Claude Garamond's death? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Garamond. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Pepperdine University Libraries

Hi Blythwood,

Thanks for contacting me. I'm a librarian from Pepperdine University Libraries. A group of us will be working on creating a page for the library, and I began the process in hopes of continuing to edit it. Forgive me, I'm still new to creating Wikipedia pages, and I'm not sure if this allowed or not. If this is not a good way to edit, we can create a draft of the page elsewhere before posting it.

Best,

Cory — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.159.36.197 (talk) 15:10, 10 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your speed respond, and for the links, there already a Speedy deletion nomination on it, I responded to it, this is my first time to write something on wikipedia, Thanks Again — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mahmoud3.14 (talk • contribs) 06:42, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Thanks so much for the feedback and help with my article. I'm new to wiki and finding there's quite a bit of a learning curve to get started! Help from peers is much appreciated :) Ebbinent (talk) 02:46, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A pie for you!

Thanks for creating The Toast article. I'd been meaning to create it myself but hadn't gotten around to it, obviously. It definitely deserves its own page. Cheers! Safehaven86 (talk) 18:48, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Safehaven86: - Thank you! It's not great, mostly because I decided to whack it together over lunch after seeing Ortberg had one (you can see from the dates the citations were accessed that I just copied half of them over...), but I hope it passes the MVP mark. Blythwood (talk) 14:20, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I need your Help

We have been working to complete JC Gonzalez. This page was cleaning. Now, I added 12 references this page did not have with real and true information. Please help me to review and find mistakes. If we need to create or find more information. I can do. Thanks a lot Texancool (talk) 14:46, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Checking citations

Thank you for your feedback on the SEAW page. I've added some external links to past exhibitions. The society is also listed on the Suffolk Painters site with a description and some Youtube video demonstrations by a past member who references his membership. I wasn't quite sure where to list these - perhaps at the end? There are a few notable members (by virtue of past careers) who could also be added. Is this sufficient citation for the moment? I can keep on looking if not. I'm a wikipedia newby so any advice would be very welcome.

Thank you. JaneThomas64 (talk) 16:15, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Type

	Some type to say thanks
	Thanks so much--I'm delighted to know about the oral history interviews and other resources about the Grabhorn Press on archive.org! I'm still plugging away at my article on Jane Grabhorn and really appreciate the help. Maybe you'll consider writing about Robert and/or Edwin Grabhorn or the Press itself?

Review of Claudine K. Brown

Hey thank you for editing this new article! I'm impressed with many of your edits and curious about others. I've got to learn how to group references to avoid duplications, I'm guessing that's the a,b superscript thing, perhaps a ref group? Will check into it. Thank you for the added categories and citations! I'm most curious about why you put in "was an African-American museum director and...". I had actually written that exact phrase, and considered adding "female" in my draft, and looking at other biographical articles as models, decided to strike it in favor of a race- & gender- neutral description of her professional/notability credentials in the summary, and adding these attributes to categories instead. Your thoughts and work are appreciated! noranoodle (talk) 02:30, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@noranoodle: - Hi! Yes, I can't remember why I thought that was a good idea. I've cut it, but kept nationality since I felt that's normal to have at the start of an article.
For de-duplicating references, when you fill in citations using the cite web tool, just type in a 'ref name' (the article title, or whatever). Save the page and you can then select it from 'named references' and insert it at the location of the cursor. (Not sure what Visual Editor does as I don't use that - this is for the old editor.) To de-duplicate references a pre-existing page and add titles to references you can run it through Refill, an automated tool, which is what I did at first. It's not quite as good as manually filling in titles but often comes close and certainly saves a lot of time. For categories I use Hotcat, which tries to autocomplete categories - that also saves a lot of time since it tries to autocomplete categories for you so lets you find the right category if you don't know exactly what it's called. Anyway, thanks for writing this. It sounds like she had an interesting career and died quite young too. Blythwood (talk) 12:58, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Response

Hi Blythwood, Thanks for your note. I may've missed up, but I'm working on Amanda K. Hale's page.

1001Bookworm (talk) 22:27, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@1001Bookworm: - no worries, I know this kind of thing often happens when you're trying to build a page and you forget to take the original text out of a code snippet! Thanks for letting me know about fixing it. Blythwood (talk) 12:46, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Blythwood. I've done the page of Amanda K. Hale, but the sign says it's an "orphan." Could you please take a look to see what link I missed? Have a great weekend! 1001Bookworm (talk) 12:57, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@1001Bookworm: - yes, that means no other articles link to it right now. I've added a link back to this page on the Red Tree Collective page to fix that! Blythwood (talk) 13:01, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much for your prompt response, Blythwood. You're so efficient!

Andrew Lawrence

Thanks for the message. The date of birth 10 February 1710 comes from the current online edition of the DNB. I thought it was more likely to be correct than the older Wikisource edition of DNB. Perhaps other sources can give confirmation. AtticTapestry (talk) 16:18, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
