[edit] Democratic-Republican Party
Hello Fearful. As a thoughtful contributor to the Democratic Party article, I invite you to weigh in on a suggested name change to the Democratic-Republican Party article. This party, the precursor to the modern Democratic Party, was called the "Republican Party" during its existence (1792-1820), and some want to change the name of this article to "Republican Party." In my opinion, however, this would just cause people to confuse the Democratic-Republican Party with the modern-day Republican Party. Moreover, history books for the past century have been calling the party the "Democratic-Republican Party" to distinguish it from the modern Republican Party. Griot 18:31, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
Gracias, amigo. Please weight in every four or five days, as these guys are persistent (they have some kind of political agenda). Griot

[edit] License tagging for Image:MontserratLogo.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:MontserratLogo.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:

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:MontserratHardieBuilding.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:MontserratHardieBuilding.jpg. The image description 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.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
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 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.

[edit] Theater Hopper
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Theater Hopper, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.comixpedia.org/index.php?title=Theater_Hopper. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 22:48, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] GFDL compliance and Theater Hopper
Hi. I'm not here to question the notability of the above, but unfortunately recreating it as a paste without attribution is problematic with regards to GFDL. Wikipedia's editors release their contributions under GFDL, which means that they allow it to be altered or reused, but they retain the rights to credit. The best thing to do in this case is probably to approach the deleting administrator, User:Bogdangiusca, with your concerns to request that he restore the article with the contribution history intact. If the other editor does not agree with your assessment of the notability, you might wish to bring the matter up at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Other editors may not agree with your assessment either, but WP:CSD#A7 is meant to be uncontroversial, and so at the least the notability may deserve review. I'd be happy to talk with you further about this, but we can't leave it unaddressed for long, as it does constitute (strangely enough) a copyright problem. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:05, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
