[edit] Conyers, Davis and the first MI district

Davis did not represent the first district. While he was in office, his district was known as the eleventh district. The boundaries were redrawn in 1993. While the areas that Davis represented in the UP and northern MI may have been similar to the current boundaries of the first district, I think it is incorrect and misleading to say that he represented the first district. older ≠ wiser 17:08, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Michigan's 11th congressional district

Nice start on this. I'm not sure about the district images from the National Atlas. Not sure if you got this far, but they are from here. I think you need to preview the map, then right-click on the image and dave it to your hard disk. Then upload that image to Wikipedia. Yep, that's the ticket, I just uploaded the map for the 11th district. older ≠ wiser 02:13, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bart Stupak

It looks like you figured out how to resize the image. If you use the tag {{PD-USGov-Congress}}, please be certain that any images you use it on is from a website of US Federal government. If the source is not a federal website, then you need to obtain explicit permission to use the photograph from the source (and perhaps use a different license tag).

[edit] Michael Prusi

Hi, and thanks for the message on my talk page. The {{wikify}} template is just a note to tell people that the page doesn't properly conform to Wikipedia's Manual of Style, mainly because of the way it's structured. You don't have to do anything to fix it, because someone else will - eventually - but if you'd like to go for it anyway, there are some simple things you can do to clean it up a little:

  1. Make sure that there are no paragraphs shorter than two sentences or so. Short paragraphs make articles hard to read, and often contain no content that can't be included elsewhere.
  2. Organise your article into sections, introduced by a succinct leading paragraph. Some possible examples could be "Early life," "Politics" or "Controversy," if there's been any.
  3. Introduce references into your article. All you really need to do is to provide a couple of links to other websites in-line with your text, to back up any assertions you may have made in the article.
  4. Provide a brief "See also" section, with relevant links to other Wikipedia articles.

Those are just off the top of my head - if those changes are made, it'd be fine to remove the Wikify tag. Bear in mind, placing any tag like that is not a reflection on the person who created the page, but just a note to other people that it could be improved in one way or another.

Hope this helps, and happy editing! RandyWang (chat me up/fix me up) 02:42, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please use appropriate image license tags

Hi, I've noticed that you've uploaded a number of images and tagged them as either GFDL or as public domain. Please do not do so unless you are certain that that is the correct license. For example,

older ≠ wiser 15:04, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

You need to be able to demonstrate that the copyright owner has explicitly agreed to release the image under the terms of the GFDL. As for the Michigan drawing, it would probably need to be recreated, even though there likely would not be much chance of any objection to our use of the image. The state maintains copyright on it's works, which makes it ineligible for use in Wikipedia (with the possible exception of claiming fair use -- although that also has come under close scrutiny lately). older ≠ wiser 15:19, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
You can put the email on the image page. For example, see Image:Barciaheadshot.jpg. I've not looked at the nominees' statements closely yet, so no pick yet. older ≠ wiser 15:31, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I notice that you tagged this image as {{PD-USGov-Congress}}, but the indicated source is not a government web site. Could you clarify on the image page how you determined it was appropriate to use that PD tag? older ≠ wiser 18:04, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Negauneeironst.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Negauneeironst.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}. If you have not already done so, please also include the source of the image. In many cases this will be the website where you found it.

Please specify the copyright information and source on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 18:02, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
