File source problem with File:Black and White Boy Soldiers, 1861 (public domain).jpg

[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:Black and White Boy Soldiers, 1861 (public domain).jpg. I noticed that 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, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:36, 27 July 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 03:36, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you click on the history tab at the top of the page, you can see previous versions. Look at the first version of this talk page that I edited. I don't want to go into any more detail, because I don't want to repeat my error. On a related topic, you can request a change of username, if you do have any privacy concerns. And thanks for working with people on changes. Abby Kelleyite (talk) 22:47, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: COI

[edit]

Hi. The COI tag involved more than just links. Please review WP:SPA and WP:COI and especially this section of the COI guideline. Thank you. Taroaldo (talk) 20:11, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was trying to figure out how to create legitimate links to the page too. What I seemed to find were mentions in references. I suppose one could go to pages where people have referenced items from blackpast.org and create a wikilink in such references. Some people may think that that is overlinking per WP:MOS and people regularly remove such "publisher" links in references to organizations like the New York Times. Are there people or organizations that have actually talked about using blackpast.org where such comments could reasonably be added to the text? University of Washington strikes me as one legitimate possibility. Regards. Abby Kelleyite (talk) 15:29, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
