Roy Fitzsimmons

Take a look at Robert Peary. The key is to include the title in bold text in the first sentence of the article and rewrite the content into a narrative instead of bullet points. Due to the short length of what you have to say, you don't need to worry about breaking it up into sections. That would come later once there is more information.

Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:MacGregorCamp3.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:MacGregorCamp2.jpg. The copy called Image:MacGregorCamp2.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 23:59, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Murray A. Wiener

The pic you've tried to place on Murray A. Wiener does not exist. That is why I reverted your edit. If you upload the pic to Wikipedia, then by all means insert the pic into the article again.-Grey Wanderer | Talk 23:51, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Make sure you use the exact title of the picture you uploaded, including capitalization and spaces. That was the problem on Murray A. Wiener. I've fixed that one for you. Thanks.-Grey Wanderer | Talk 23:54, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Greely Frozen in.JPG

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Greely Frozen in.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 image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 03:34, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Agape Flights

A tag has been placed on Agape Flights requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ttonyb (talk) 03:41, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Contact Bobhaybob

Hello - I am interested in getting more information on Roy Fitzsimmons and am just starting my quest. Roy was my grand-uncle and I have gotten as much information from my family (the Fox side, Regina Fitzsimmons, Roy's sister married Fred Fox, my granfather). My contributor page is beaverbook2005, I am an author in my day job. BeaverBook2005 (talk) 23:54, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:MacGregorShipanddogsleads2.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:MacGregorShipanddogsleads2.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

File permission problem with File:MacGregorShipanddogsleads.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:MacGregorShipanddogsleads.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

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:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — ξ^xplicit 18:40, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Robert Inglis Jr.

Hello Bobhaybob,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, Robert Inglis Jr., may be copied from http://poulsonvanhise.com/fh/obituaries/obituary.cfm?o_id=1702739&fh_id=11763. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 01:43, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Robert Inglis Jr., you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Lawrenceville, Lawrence Township and Eagle Scout (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) 10:56, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Robert Inglis Jr.

The article Robert Inglis Jr. has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

hardly notable in any category; a trip as far as Greenland is hardly exploration; seems a well-meant (albeit poorly-written) family contribution

While all constructive 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. Crusoe8181 (talk) 10:41, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Nomination of Robert Inglis Jr. for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Robert Inglis Jr. is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Crusoe8181 (talk) 11:56, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Sayre QSLcard.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Sayre QSLcard.jpg. 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 section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:39, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
