[edit] License tagging for Image:Hughes Spingarn Medal Ceremony.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Hughes Spingarn Medal Ceremony.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. 20:08, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Thank you

Re: your message: Of course! No problem! I swear, vandals just must think of more interesting things to write. At least half of what I revert is "so-and-so is GAY GAY GAY!" or "so-and-so is BLACK!" It's amazing how a site like Wikipedia can get so many smart people and so many dumb people. Anyway, good on you for doing so much work on the Langston Hughes article! Just skimming it, it looks great - I'll have to read the whole thing later on today. See you around! - Tapir Terrific 15:14, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks, it took me awhile to make it haha. Zhang Guo Lao 19:59, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Langston Hughes

No problem at all; that vandalism was weird. Did you look at the changes, and the notes I ended up posting to the vandal's talk page (User talk:159.53.110.142)? I had to assume good faith, so I started out with the assumption that he was just mistaken, but he kept changing the university from PA to MO right up to the final {{test4}} warning. Is this a common thing in that article? -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 17:38, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I wish I could say it wasn't a common thing, but it is. I don't understand the minds of these vandals. The scary or very weird thing is that the article appears to be the target of one specific individual a lot of the time. This individual only targets the Hughes articleTonyCrew 17:46, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Someone is getting really tricky about his vandalism...I noticed this vandalism after I did a revert. It's apparently been there a while, buried in a citation. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 03:19, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Tricky is an understatement. It took me a bit of effort to find it, not seeing it at first. These vandals are so discouraging to the time and effort placed on every Wiki article. Thank you again. And, THANK YOU for having really keen eyes and catching this vandalism. TonyCrew 03:30, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

I feel kind of bad, because I sent a vandalism warning to the guy who edited it previously, then I had to go retract the warning when I realized the vandalism had already been there. (But I don't know what the previous guy changed...maybe added or removed a space). -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 03:33, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

==Langston Hughes (2)== shalounnnnnnnnnnnn No problem at all; glad to help. I've signed up to put Langston Hughes on my watchlist as part of WikiProject Biography's Counter-Vandalism Department, so I'll keep an eye out for that sneaky vandalism you mention above. —Celithemis 04:38, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

  Thank you so very muchTonyCrew 20:51, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Tony, I'm happy I could help protect an article that you (and others, but mostly you) have worked so hard on. It does look like LH is being targeted by a specific vandal, but the article has several defenders now, so hopefully the trouble will pass. Still, I'll continue to keep this page watchlisted, and if you have similar difficulty elsewhere just let me know. Good luck and happy editing :) --Doc Tropics Message in a bottle 16:48, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

  Thank you, Doc. TonyCrew 20:51, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome! It's my pleasure. Vandal-patrol is one of those things I do when have ten minutes free here or there during the day, or am too uninspired to write something original; it's kind of fun swatting vandals, in an odd sort of way. LH is an important article and I always check changes to it. Cheers, Antandrus (talk) 23:25, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Tony, I replied on my talkpage, but it's always a pleasure to assist a valuable contributor. Let me know if you make it to the Keys : ) Doc Tropics 19:47, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Langston Hughes

Not exactly routine vandal patrol -- I added Langston Hughes and some other African-Americans and civil rights activists to my watchlist to patrol for racist vandalism. Disheartening to see as much of it as I do, but thanks for the thanks! --lquilter 20:48, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Thank you

You wrote on my talk page:

Thank you for catching the vandalism to the Langston Hugehs article. I know you were doing routine vandal patrol, still, THANK YOU. All you guys on vandal patrol should be given medals for just volunteering for such an important service here at Wiki.


Thank you for the kind words, Tony; I'm glad to help out, and there's more than enough vandalism to clean up. Thanks for all the effort you've obviously put into the Langston Hughes article. It's a pleasure to do my small part to keep the jackals away from it. Take care. --JFreeman (talk) 03:49, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Likewise, thanks for taking the time to, er, spread a bit of thanks. ;) Barn raising is always a good behavior. Feel free to let me know if you run into any future problems. Cheers! Luna Santin 22:52, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
You welcome :). I am watching some African American articles as they are more liable to vandalism. - Darwinek 23:12, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. And thank you! KatalavenoTC 02:22, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
TonyCrew, you're welcome. Edivorce 14:12, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Er... thanks. I'm usually on vandal patrol and I would have reverted any vandalism in the article... except there wasn't any, and I didn't revert anything. The only edit I've ever made to that article was to change the image to a newer, cleaner, bigger one. Thanks for the compliment anyway, I'll keep an eye on it for vandalism now. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 19:35, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your kind words. However, after some period of time it should be unprotected per wiki rules but still protection is the best way. I am long-time disgusted of vandalism of African American articles. Many times, daily, I revert dozens of vandals there. - Darwinek 19:18, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello again. I would do that but I am not an admin anymore, so please request that on WP:RFP. - Darwinek 20:38, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
