Duplicate images uploaded
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:WmAHarrisHouse.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:WmAHarrisHouse.JPG. The copy called Image:WmAHarrisHouse.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 21:30, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Linwood
[edit]I've removed the Linwood history section to the top of the article because the Wikipedia standards for city articles state that history sections should go near the top of the article, above the geography. Nyttend 18:37, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
- Please familiarise yourself with Wikipedia's standards. The history section falls significantly short of these standards, and the tag should not be removed without the reason for its placing being satisfied. Nyttend 19:44, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia Standards
[edit]Obviously, Nyttend is much more familiar with Wikipedia standards than I. However, I have reviewed the basic standards and fail to recognize exactly where this page "falls significantly short" of meeting those standards. Perhaps Nyttend would be willing to enlighten me, since I am unable to find any direct link to communicate with Nyttend directly.
- Why don't you just leave a message on my talk page, rather than leaving it on yours? What you want to do is go to Wikipedia:Manual of Style, where you can see "In headings and subheadings: only the first letter of the first word, and the first letter of proper nouns are capitalized; all other letters are in lower case (for example, “Rules and regulations”, not “Rules and Regulations”);" Moreover, what you've written sounds like an essay about the history of Linwood, not an encyclopedic section. Nyttend 13:49, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- As well, please don't plagiarise other websites, especially without attributing it. It's obvious that you've worked with this webpage, simply changing the wording slightly. Please don't do this; it's better to do a complete rewrite, as I've done. Nyttend 13:54, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- Please read Wikipedia:No personal attacks. I am quite aware of Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers, and I'm trying to follow that here. This is a wiki: I have no responsibility to ask your permission to make changes to my submissions, any more than you have to get permission to change mine. Frankly, policing changes is a big thing, since the point of Wikipedia is to create a high-quality encyclopedia; if nobody did, we'd have a pretty poor encyclopedia. By the way, what I've tried to say several times is that the writing style of that page does violate Wikipedia rules. And lastly: please type ~~~~ after your posts on talk pages, so that it's obvious who left the comment. Nyttend 14:21, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- Reading WP:OWN would be my suggestion. Other good policy pages to be read can be found in the blue box to the right, on the page I linked to. Octane [improve me] 10.08.07 2035 (UTC)

NowCommons: File:WAHarris.jpg
[edit]File:WAHarris.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:William Alexander Harris.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:William Alexander Harris.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 16:58, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
File source problem with File:WmHarrisHouse.jpg
[edit]
Thank you for uploading File:WmHarrisHouse.jpg. I noticed that 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, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
