Duplicate images uploaded
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:SPICCRear0217.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:SPICCFront.jpg. The copy called Image:SPICCFront.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 16:30, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Napkin1.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Napkin1.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Polly (Parrot) 23:45, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (Image:Napkin.jpg)
[edit] Thanks for uploading Image:Napkin.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) 12:17, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Montgomerymarker JLB.jpg
[edit]![File Copyright problem](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/64px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Montgomerymarker JLB.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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. 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:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 17:47, 28 August 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:47, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Thank you for your recent contributions, such as Lee Harvey Oswald Rooming House. Getting started creating new articles on Wikipedia can be tricky, and you might like to try creating a draft version first, which you can then ask for feedback on if necessary, with less risk of deletion. Do make sure you also read help available to you, including Your First Article and the Tutorial. You might also like to try the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 01:40, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Lee Harvey Oswald Rooming House
[edit]Hello Timcdfw,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Lee Harvey Oswald Rooming House for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. TheLongTone (talk) 14:44, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
Deletion discussion about Lee Harvey Oswald Rooming House
[edit]Hello, Timcdfw,
I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Lee Harvey Oswald Rooming House should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lee Harvey Oswald Rooming House .
If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
Thanks, TheLongTone (talk) 15:19, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry that I cast aspersions on your neutrality...but you would be surprised at the number of people who do create articles with promotional intent. FYI, the links were fine (I think), & the article certainly did not read like a promotional piece. But I do not see that there is really very much to ay about it.TheLongTone (talk) 13:46, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
Totally understand, and I can imagine the advertising aspect of some articles. Perhaps if this location was designated a historical place, then an article would be warranted. Such a designation has not occurred as yet. Although, this structure has interest to JFK researchers, I do see your point. Thanks againTimcdfw (talk) 15:07, 15 December 2015 (UTC)timcdfw
In the future, Andy will be famous for 15 millennia
[edit]Regarding your edit [1] to add an external link to the streaming web cam focussed on Andy Warhol's grave site: I was prepared to revert this, as I think it has extremely little value as a supplement to encyclopedic information. But this is Andy Warhol, so I'm guessing he would have been 100% in support of the whole idea. I just wanted you to know, though, that in general, I don't think such links are all that useful for External Links sections. Cheers. Willondon (talk) 20:37, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
