[edit] License tagging for Image:4659 5s.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:4659 5s.jpg. 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. 07:05, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Tarrytown, New York apple blossoms
Your picture of apple blossoms in Tarrytown was nice, but not really appropriate for the article, since they could have been located anywhere. Images should be representative of the subject of the article. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) (talk / cont) 01:41, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Learn to use the preview button
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you.

[edit] Proposed deletion of Steve Galerkin
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Steve Galerkin, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Paulbrock (talk) 02:51, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re comments on Steve Galerkin
I'm sorry you're unhappy with the treatment of the article. You're right that no individual should pick and choose what stays or goes on Wikipedia, and that's why there are policies and guidelines in place to say what should and shouldn't be here.
One of the important guidelines is WP:NOTABILITY which basically says that if the topic of an article has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources then it's appropriate for Wikipedia. Karim Rashid fulfills this, due to coverage in articles like TIME magazine, which is why I raised this; if Galerkin is as important as you believe, then there should be similar coverage available; I invite you to present your case at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Steve_Galerkin which is a discussion of interested editors to determine whether to keep or delete this article.
