[edit] Wakonda (Ken Kesey)

Thanks for your addition to the article. Do you have a source that shows the filming was also done on the Yaquina River? I changed your edit to read Yaquina Bay, as the references I found show that, but if filming also occurred along the Yaquina River and we have a source that says it, it can be be put back in the article. Thanks and happy editing! Katr67 21:34, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me about the book--the Internet does have its limitations. If you want to put the river back in the article, here is some help with citation templates for citing book references. I'm going to go ahead and make a references section for the article and change my references to that format. (Not until later tonight though.) Thanks for leading me to the Toledo article, by the way, I see it mentions the "Spruce Squadrons", which is something on which I'd like to see an article. (There's a little bit about this in the Kernville article and you can see how the references thing works as well.) Is there anything in your book about them? P.S. If you type 4 tildes (~~~~) you can make a wikilinked signature with a date stamp. Talk to you later, Katr67 00:07, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:The Versatile Burl Ives.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:The Versatile Burl Ives.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:

[edit] Saddam Hussein a Victim of Child Abuse

Hi there, my apologies if it seems like an incorrect revert. Might I suggest you propose the category addition on the talk page first before re-adding it?¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 02:08, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Signatures

[edit] Image source problem with Image:Marg Osburne.jpg

Image Copyright problem

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Marg Osburne.jpg. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:35, 4 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Favourite Square Dances.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Favourite Square Dances.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 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 10:58, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your report to WP:AIV

Hi there. I've removed your vandalism report regarding User:OldakQuill editing on the article Marg Osburne, as it doesn't really qualify as vandalism. The other editor appears to be making automated replacements of the phrase "passed away" with "died"; I believe that's probably the better usage, being more encyclopedic. I don't believe it's in the manual of style anywhere, but "died" seems to work better and is more neutral and factual.

My main concern, though, is your reference to the article as "yours." Please note that nobody owns any articles here, and any article is likely to be edited to improve it by multiple editors. Please keep that in mind. The Osburne article looks to need some cleanup to bring it to encyclopedic quality, so you can expect other people to edit it in the future as well.

[edit] AfD nomination of List of Rugrats characters

An editor has nominated List of Rugrats characters, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Rugrats characters and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 14:00, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
