[edit] Copyright problem with York School image.

Greetings!

You recently uploaded Image:YorkSchool.jpg. However, that image is copied from the school's website [1]. Even if a website does not contain a copyright statement, it does not mean the materials on that site are in the public domain and can be used freely wherever a person so chooses. I've placed the image for deletion, listing it at Wikipedia:Copyright_problems#July_28. Wikipedia:Copyrights#Image_guidelines may be of assistance to you in showing why this is a problem.

I encourage your active participation and contributions to Wikipedia. Just be careful about violating copyright. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. --Durin 17:45, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Don Mosebar

Hello. I checked the article you created on Mosebar, which seems very good to me. I just want to remind you to be careful with acronyms like UCS, which you used in this article. Lots of people won't be aware that it refers to the University of Southern California (and not, for instance, to the University of South Carolina or any other institution in the whole world that may go by those initials). It is better to avoid such acronyms and spell out the institution's entire name. JoaoRicardo 05:09, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Keck.jpg has been listed for deletion

[edit] Image:La Sierra.jpg has been listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded, Image:La Sierra.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

[edit] amfootbio-stub

there's no need to add amfootbio-stub to pages that already have a stub for a specific american football position. It is redundant. Thanks, --Alhutch 23:07, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] C.R. Roberts

Hello Mehudson1. I notice you've been making a some big contributions to football player articles, including a lot of USC Trojans. They are really great, and I hope you keep them coming. One of your new articles, though, C.R. Roberts, appears to be taken from the subject's website, which is copyrighted, and can not be used on wikipedia without the owner's permision. For more information about Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, take a look at our Five Pillars. ×Meegs 08:14, 10 January 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image Tagging Image:Whittierlaw.jpg

Warning sign
This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Whittierlaw.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. the iBook of the Revolution 23:06, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Peter Mel

I have placed a tag on the article Peter Mel, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. I did this because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why Peter Mel is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:Peter Mel. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. You might also want to read our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. --Hurricane111 23:07, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Linda Johnson Rice

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Linda Johnson Rice, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the article in your own words. For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Happy editing! Dpbsmith (talk) 13:38, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Links

Hi Mehudson. I was looking over some of your edits, like your last one where you added seven links that were either not necessary, or that pointed to the wrong destination. Would you please take a few minutes to look over Wikipedia:Only make links that are relevant to the context and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers). The key part of the latter is avoid overlinking dates. Thanks. ×Meegs 01:23, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Football positions

Hi Mehudson. When you're making infoboxes for football players, would you mind not abbreviating the player positions. We are a general-purpose encyclopedia, and lots of people do not know what T and C and RB, etc., mean. Let me know if you want to discuss this. Thanks, and keep up the good work. ×Meegs 10:05, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Tamtriken.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Tamtriken.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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. 03:05, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ten Ren Tea

Per your request, has been restored. Please immediately address the notability issue... I've put a hangon on it for you. 00:56, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

I was trying to assist you by wikifying the article so it is less likely to be deleted but just noticed you pretty much reverted all my changes. Guess some people don't want the help. Good luck not having it deleted. - Glen TC (Stollery) 01:55, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stash Tea Company

Can you please add some more information to Stash Tea Company? As it stands, the article lacks any context and shows no indication that the company meets the notability guidelines at WP:CORP. Without more information, the entry is liable to be deleted. --GraemeL (talk) 20:39, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eluthero

Hi, Thank you for thinking of creating the Eluthero page, and having a link point to Siberian ginseng. I edited the Eluthero page so that it will automatically redirect to the Siberian ginseng page. You do this by editing the page and adding "#redirect siberian ginseng", in this case. ॐ Priyanath 21:53, 19 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] American football

Should not all the foortballer articles say American football (not american football) ? --ArmadilloFromHell 04:18, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citations needed

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Kennedy Pola, but we regretfully cannot accept original research. Please find and add a reliable citation to your recent edit so we can verify your work. Uncited information may be removed at any time. Thanks for your efforts, and happy editing!

[edit] DYK

Here's a belated DYK notification. Congratulations.

Updated DYK query On 27 October 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Ming Hsieh, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] NFL Draft 2007

Hi Mehudson,

Please read the talk page of the NFL Draft 2007 to see that many of the players you added, like Ryan Powdrell, were removed (by myself) because they are not really top prospects (they were not invited to the NFL Combine, which is basically the who's who of the NFL Draft prospects each year). I am reverting your edits on this topic.--Thomas.macmillan 17:44, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Matt Toeaina

A tag has been placed on Matt Toeaina, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Katr67 18:53, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mitch Mustain

Your changes to Mitch Mustain have been reversed. When an official announcement is made, then changes can be made. TotoHertz 00:03, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Little context in Dane Uperesa

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Dane Uperesa, by Truthanado, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Dane Uperesa is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Dane Uperesa, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Dane Uperesa itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 03:06, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dane Uperesa

You removed the speedy-delete tag from the Dane Uperesa article, which is not the way Wikipedia works. I have restored the tag on the grounds that this article is about a person who is not noteworthy ... he has just been drafted into the NFL and it is premature to consider this person notable and worthy of a Wikipedia article. Please read the NFL Draft 2007 section on this User talk page. I ask you to please follow the instructions in the speedy-delete box by stating reasons why this article should remain, in particular, you should not just delete the tag:

If this page does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, or you intend to fix it, please remove this notice, but do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself. If you created this page and you disagree with this page’s proposed speedy deletion, please add (in addition to the speedy deletion template):

   {{hangon}}

to the top of the article page below this tag, and then explain why you believe this article should not be deleted on its talk page.

Then, a Wikipedia administrator will review and make a decision. Please note that I am not an administrator and I will not be the one deleting the article if that is what is decided. Truthanado 01:48, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Jefferson

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Michael Jefferson, by Tiptoety, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Michael Jefferson fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

not enough text


To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Michael Jefferson, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Michael Jefferson itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 04:49, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DAB laziness

Resolved. Discussion moved to User talk:SMcCandlish.

Please do not convert articles to disambiguation pages without fixing all of the links to the orginal page so that they go to the new one you moved the content to. That's a dreadful disservice to our readers, and to other editors who are now left with little choice but to fix the mess you made. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 07:55, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Get over yourself SMcCandish. Learn to talk respectfully to people. The page was a mess (there were several Fred Davis' and the "snooker" one was hardly world famous) so I did A SERVICE (not a disservice) to make disammbiguation. The reason you correct pages all day and don't have friends is because you need to learn social manners. I have two fists that could teach them to you---mehudson1
There was nothing disrepectful about my message to you (unlike your reply). I think you are missing the point. Making DAB pages is not a bad idea. Making DAB pages and doing nothing to clean up afterwards is a very, very bad idea. Hundreds of links that used to go to the correct place now go to a DAB page for no reason other that you simply couldn't be bothered. PS: Threats of violence do not go over well here. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 18:45, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Threats of violence

Hello. Please don't threaten other editors with violence (or anything, for that matter). Doing so again will result in your being blocked from editing. Surely you can come to an agreement about the disambiguation page without such threats. MastCell Talk 19:09, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

No problem... take a walk, relax, and come back and work it out on the talk pages. MastCell Talk 19:31, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spam in Ken Klein

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Ken Klein, by Witchinghour, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Ken Klein is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Ken Klein, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Ken Klein itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 15:46, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you have edited a College baseball related article. You may be interested to know that there is a college baseball WikiProject which you can join if you like. We would love to have you!

[edit] Teanobi

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Teanobi, 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 explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. B. Wolterding 20:45, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] McQuistans

While updating Weber State University and checking on the links to notable alumni, I noticed a problem with two articles that you have edited. Pat McQuistan and Paul McQuistan are listed as twin brothers, but they have different places of birth listed. I was hoping that you could look into this inconsistency, as I have no leads on where to locate this bio info. —A 22:17, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Andy Collins (quarterback)

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Andy Collins (quarterback), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 04:00, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Nick Canepa

A tag has been placed on Nick Canepa requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] Ryan Nielsen

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Ryan Nielsen, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

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.

[edit] Speedy deletion of Aldila

A tag has been placed on Aldila requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

[edit] Karl Strauss Brewing Company

A tag has been placed on Karl Strauss Brewing Company, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Karl Strauss Brewing Company and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. OccamzRazor (talk) 05:34, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Article categorization

I notice that you have been adding the category of "Companies based in San Diego County" to companies that are already listed in "Companies based in San Diego, California." According to WP category guidelines "articles should not be in both a category and its subcategory." Companies based in San Diego is a subcategory of Companies based in San Diego County, therefore inclusion in both categories is redundant and discouraged by WP.
