[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:DeBakey-Liotta.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:DeBakey-Liotta.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 17:09, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:Debakey-Liotta.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:DeBakey-Liotta.jpg. The copy called Image:DeBakey-Liotta.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 17:29, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Hola

Hi, Mr. Liotta!

You're very welcome for the note. No problem.

Why'd you revert the message you left? You really didn't have to. I am intrigued by the little note - what article were you referring to? Thank you very much for your contributions (I really didn't do much of anything constructive until I was here for months). I'm glad you like it here - it's a nice place. : )

Interesting. Hmm. There are a few standards on the Wikipedia that you should know about - the conflict of interest standards and the neutral point of view standards. The general rule is that you avoid editing things about people you know, just to maintain a neutral point of view, but if you do and follow the NPOV standards, that's ok. Your edits have been great - but you might want to avoid doing too much editing without a reliable source (see the standards about sources.) Not that you haven't kept a NPOV, but some other editors and admins get upset when they see someone adding info about something close to them.
In short, if you want to edit things about your father, just try to find a source (i.e. book, newspaper, website) to back you up so that somebody doesn't come along and freak out at you.
Your father could be a great asset to the Wikipedia; try to have him look at to see if there are any cardiac-related articles he could help review, condense or simplify.
Thanks for your note! And, yes, it was in the right place : )

That's wonderful! Thank you so much for your contributions, and I hope that the Wikipedia continues to be a great place for you and your dad. Doodle-doo Ħ 21:07, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Well, I suppose that was your initiation into the dark underground of Wikipedia vandalism... that sort of thing happens all the time, and there are lots of people here who are ready to fix it whenever the problem happens. Don't be too worried about it, and if you can help fix it, more power to you! :D Doodle-doo Ħ 16:48, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
