[edit] Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 0% for major edits and 0% for minor edits. (Based on the last 116 major and 0 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 04:16, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:George_oppen.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}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator.

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you have questions about copyright tagging of images, post on Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags or User talk:Carnildo/images. 17:34, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:CharlesOlson.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

[edit] Pittsburgh sports lore

Regarding Pittsburgh sports lore: Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content. It is considered vandalism. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 15:37, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Because you did not include an edit summary, your recent removal of content from Pittsburgh sports lore was misinterpreted as vandalism and therefore was reverted. Remember to please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes. Thank you. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 15:37, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

All of the wiki syntax markup are listed on Wikipedia:How to edit a page. The problem that you saw was that the paragraph started with a space, which therefore made it formatted exactly as typed, in a fixed-width font and lines that do not wrap. By the way, a colon indents a line or paragraph. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 19:09, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Also, Wikipedia:Sandbox is the page you can use to test and experiment with the wiki syntax markup. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 19:15, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anselm Berrigan

Can you please explain what you meant by this edit summary:

Revert to earlier version; look in the contributor's notes; the author himself seems to approve of this so-called "auto-biographical" version

Obviously someone would approve of their autobiography since...well...they wrote it. Please take a look at WP:AUTO to see why I had reverted it to the previous state. Writing about one's self in the manner that was done in that article is highly frowned upon on Wikipedia. Metros232 14:47, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] George Oppen & Mary Oppen

Hi there. I noticed you added a stub tag to both these articles. Tagging an article as a stub means that the article is very short, but both of these articles are long enough to not qualify as stubs. I have removed the tags. VegaDark 19:44, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Palmer reverted, vandal blocked

Pleasure :) Glen 16:35, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

I hear you there! Anytime, just say the word :) Keep up the great work! Glen 02:06, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] William Styron

Hello, first of all I apologise for the unsolicited nature of this message, but I noticed your name as a contributor to the above article. I was doing a bout of New Page patrolling today when I came across an interview article at William Styron - interview. At first, the copyright alarm bells were ringing (as they had been all day, to be honest), but after the author of the article asserted that he owns the copyright to the original article (being the interviewer himself), the next problem is whether this has any encyclopaedic worth to the Wikipedia project. Seeing as I know nothing of the subject, I assured the author of the article that I would try to gather some opinion on the matter. If you have any comment, could I ask you to leave it at the article talk page, please? I am still making enquiries as to the validity of the copyright claim and it may be that the article ends up on Articles for Deletion. However, I feel obliged to at least try first! Thank you for your time. Bubba hot ep 19:55, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks very much for the input on this. I don't take speedy deletion tasks lightly and I knew this might have a place somewhere, as the author's enthusiasm would indicate. Credit where it is due, it was my "fountain of knowledge" Alf who lead me in the right direction (again). I will be sure to let you know what happens. Cheers.

[edit] Your edits to Fernando Botero

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Christian Roess! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, and try to reinsert the link again. If your link was genuine spam, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 15:27, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

No, this was a legitimate offering of "good" links. I'm not trying to add spam. I'll have to read up on this to see why this may have detected spam.???? Christian Roess 15:36, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Poets

Please don't add Category:Poets to articles that are already filed in national subcategories such as Category:American poets. This goes against Wikipedia's rules on duplicate categorization. Thanks. Bearcat 09:15, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:This 8.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:This 8.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Non-free use disputed for Image:Donald Allen.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Donald Allen.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 01:24, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Nat Turner Styron.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Nat Turner Styron.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.BetacommandBot 04:18, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
