[edit] License tagging for Image:Lon 1 Color.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Lon 1 Color.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. 22:08, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MFD

I'm afraid I have nominated your userpage for deletion on miscellany for deletion. Please note that the purpose of a user page is not as personal homepage or used as a general webhosting service, but as way for active editors of Wikipedia to introduce themselves to other editors. If you disagree with the notice, please go there to comment. --Calton | Talk 08:13, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Lon S. Safko

Hi! The page that I deleted wasn't actually an article, but just general maintenance. The admin who did delete your article is Jmlk17 (talk ยท contribs), could you please contact them? east.718 at 21:50, March 26, 2008

I would like to work with you to be sure that the information from the page could be posted in the format that you require. Please tell me how we can do that.

Let me be blunt: no, I'm not going to help you. The research I've done -- in the past and which I just reconfirmed -- tells me that you don't meet the most basic standards for having an article here (see WP:NOTABILITY and WP:BIO for the general guidelines), given that I've seen no sign -- none -- of the recognition you're claiming. No sign of notability detected in Google, Google Scholar, or .edu websites, and the Smithsonian connection you mention appears only to be that you donated your company's business records to them. Even the books you've written I've found turn out to have been either self-published or non-groundbreaking "how-to" books. If your work is groundbreaking, why am I finding no evidence of it being acknowledged by third-parties?

I'm sorry, but until you come up with some hard evidence of notability (see this page for some standards of evidence), you're on your own. --Calton | Talk 16:42, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
