Orphaned non-free media (File:Hal the coyote in cage.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Hal the coyote in cage.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:22, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Doughboy Park

Nice start, please continue to expand the article. ThuranX (talk) 23:05, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have performed a re-write of this article and tried to establish notability to the best of my ability, could you please look it over one more time and give me your thoughts. -Marcusmax(speak) 23:26, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Borough Presidents

Hi, and thanks for setting up that long-overdue table of Queens Borough Presidents, a project I never started (let alone completed). However, should you choose to do the same thing for Staten Island, you might be able to save yourself a little extra work by using my own never-completed table, which you can find at User:Shakescene/sandbox7. Copy, use, adapt or correct whatever you feel might be helpful. Best wishes —— Shakescene (talk) 01:07, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

District Attorney redirects

Thanks for correcting those redirects. I hadn't realised that the boroughs of New York City were individual counties, and that NYC wasn't solely located in NY county. However the new targets for the redirects are redlinks, so I have listed the redirects for deletion here. Tassedethe (talk) 13:46, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I couldn't decide whether or not to list them for deletion or to try and create stubs. We're probably better off deleting them and recreating them later. I didn't know how the NYC borough/county system worked until I moved here; it's a fairly common error! Cmprince (talk) 15:33, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect game lead image caption

All in all, I'd be happier if the phrase were not included, on the basis of encyclopedic tone, but Madden's line is representative of the general view of the picture in the realm of baseball literature and history. More importantly, I think the retention of the phrase serves an important role in maintaining the stability and quality of the article. There has been no controversy over the image's inclusion since it was restored to the article four months ago under proper licensing and a detailed fair use rationale, and I think the quote and citation are a large part of the reason why. There is a coterie of inexperienced and misinformed editors who go gunning for fair use lead images such as this without even vetting the rationales—in my experience, the sort of caption we currently have is an effective deterrent against most of them.—DCGeist (talk) 20:06, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cassoulet

Howdy, If you look at the very bottom of the discussion page for Cassoulet, you'll see the post I made back in March about the issue - titled "Problem with history". I got distracted with other matters and never made the change, so when I saw that no one had commented since then I thought it was safe to change. Do you have anything that supports the contention that Cassoulet dates back to the 14th century? I don't feel Dining Chicago is a credible source - a lot of people claim their favorite food was around in Medieval times, but few have any real evidence to support it.

Thanks for spotting that the tags had been removed. I'm having problems with this article because the recent editors have all had conflict of interest issues. Must have missed this recent change. - Sitush (talk) 20:38, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DYK nomination of Fudai, Iwate

Hello! Your submission of Fudai, Iwate at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Khazar (talk) 20:35, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article Norma Kamali has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Decline

I've declined your speedy under A9 of that compilation (whose name I've forgotten already...). It's not that I think it's a valuable work of art - it's that A9, in my opinion at least, can't apply to a compilation. Anyway, most, if not all, of the performers were blue-linked. (Personally, I've never possessed one of that type of record, and can't understand why people buy them.) If you still feel it's not worth a place here, I'd suggest prod or AfD. Or prod then AfD if someone removes it. Peridon (talk) 22:30, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I was actually hovering over it on Twinkle and accidentally clicked on it. I let it go since I thought the compilation creator might be the analog to the artist. I'll toss it (and another one by the same editor) on AfD. Maybe I should write a proposal for compilations for speedy deletion... Cmprince (talk) 22:41, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Compilations and other odd records, yes, they need to be clarified. I might not be right on this. (Some people have thought I'm not right for years...) There was a record up for speedy recently that I declined on because it didn't have a performer on one side (just odd noises), and the other side was demos - of stereo. It was a demo and test record. (Went to AfD and I think got merged somewhere.) Speedy doesn't cover everything, anyway. You can speedy a Church but not a church. (Church is a group of people, church is stone or brick or whatever.) You can speedy a website, but not the software that operates it. Mixtapes need some clarifying, too. Peridon (talk) 22:55, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
