[edit] License tagging for Image:2OrderPredationGraph.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:2OrderPredationGraph.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 17:05, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: (New World) Pleistocene exctinctions
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! I ran across your contributions (well, really creations) of Pleistocene / New World Pleistocene extinctions. Thanks for starting such a thorough approach to this fascinating topic; real expert input is of the highest value here.
I'm afraid I had to do some non-minor edits to both of these articles, however, given particularly that the former seemed to be largely a duplicate of the latter. As they stand now, your italicized essay-sounding intro, while appropriate in the context of the Web page it is copied from, has been replaced by a simpler Wikipedia-style one. This is not meant to be anything against you or your writing, of course; see Template:essay-entry and What Wikipedia is not for more info. Meanwhile, the "non-New Word" one has been replaced with a stub on the subject and referent to the other one. As I'm not a paleontologist, feel free to correct my intros for factual errors or misnderstandings.
In addition, it's a good idea to format your contributions in a "wikified" style, rather than HTML. It happens that a WikiBot caught that and added a wikification tag, which will remain there until someone with more time than I shifts all the HTML to Wiki style. (Please don't feel bad about creating more work and don't think that you necessarily have to correct it yourself; in the end, you've still done a net good. Somewhere out there is someone who takes an inherent joy in formatting things; that's the beauty of community editing.)
If you have any questions, feel free to talk to me or post them on the relevant talkpage. Best of luck/enjoyment in your research and academic career.--Lenoxus 03:44, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
