Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your additions to the Lowell High School (Lowell, Massachusetts) article. However, please use the Preview button going forward, and perhaps an external text editor when making substancial changes to articles.

[edit] License tagging for Image:High School Cn 1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:High School Cn 1.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. 13:06, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

I got it - I used PD-Pre1978 which I think is correct. CSZero 14:10, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] History of Lowell, Massachusetts

Hello, thanks for filling out your user page - it's great to have someone in this community with credentials like yours. I'm very interested in Lowell's history and aside from little edits on many of the local articles, I wrote History of Lowell, Massachusetts - as poorly sourced as it may be. I was wondering if you'd take some time at some point to fact-check it, or give me general suggestions.

Thanks!

[edit] Lowell Girls

Hello there. I was a little surprised to see Lowell girls moved, but I suppose you know better than I which to use. I will say that I've mostly seen "Lowell Girls" used, but obviously you have more experience in this area than I. Please note that moving a page is something of a big deal on Wikipedia; moving something more than once can be especially troublesome. In the future, it's good to make sure that the page movement is to the title where it will remain.

Thanks for your contributions and let me know if you have any questions or concerns. – Scartol · Talk 17:30, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Scartol, "Mill Girls" is the most common term, although in many ways a misnomer since the average age was about 24. Thanks for being so nice regarding my edits.--durno11 10:54, 30 September 2007

Is it possible add Sarah Bagley to the Organize Labour Portal?--durno11 11:13, 30 September 2007

Do you mean to the front page of the portal? Because it's very rare to include one person alone to that front page. However, I have added the "American Labor Leaders" category tag to her page, which means it's now listed at Cat:American_labor_leaders. I've also asked Bookandcoffee to add her to the {{labor}} infobox. – Scartol · Talk 16:52, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
I have added Bagley to the labor tag. I also added the article to the Organized Labour Portal as the "article of the day" for April 19th. Unfortunately that means you have to wait several months to see it(!), as I used her birth date for the event. And as Scartol said - welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for your contributions. Cheers, --Bookandcoffee 17:58, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks to both of you.--durno11 09:30, 1 October 2007

[edit] Friendly reminder

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. Thank you. Just a friendly reminder! --Midnightdreary 18:30, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bagley document list

At least one of the "documents" you listed is not a free item, but comes with a "This document project is available by subscription" warning. Such are not suitable citations for Wikipedia. What we'd really like are citations to whatever documents might be in that article's bibliography and footnotes. --Orange Mike 15:31, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification of the wikipedia rules. I removed the improper reference.Durno11 19:56, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thomas Dalton

You've got a lot of information in that article, but it seems to be written very haphazardly, and in general, a biographical article should only be about one person. I also fail to see how they are notable, which is a basic criterion for inclusion. Their relatives seem to have done a lot, and Dalton is perhaps notable for being a Prince Hall Grand Master (as a note, it's Prince Hall, not Primus Hall, unless you have some other info a lot of other noted scholars of Prince Hall Masonry don't), but that's borderline, IMHO.
