Andres Rivero Aguero

Thanks very much for your work on the article. I was actually referring to the title which was previously Carlos Rivero and didn't know at first who that was - and confused me when I spotted it. Good work and I hope you continue to contribute to the encyclopedia.--Zleitzen 06:39, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Osvaldo Dorticós Torrado

hi Doug, there is a smallish article on Dorticós that needs to be expanded. Don't forget to put sources to any info you can. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for more information.--Zleitzen 16:21, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Osvaldo Dorticós Torrado

Hi Zleitzen,

I have just submitted an article on Osvaldo Dorticós Torrado, which can be viewed online. I realise that the Cuban Revolution is a highly emotional and contentious topic; but my own personal belief is that an encyclopaedia article should be factual and unbiassed, with opinion clearly identified and strictly bracketed. I have tried to apply this standard to both articles I have written--on Dorticós and on Andres Rivero Agüero. I hope that I have followed the correct procedure in listing references. -- DougRees 20:55, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

That's great, Doug. Thanks for informing me of your work. I'll make some superficial visual format changes to the page but the text is really good.--Zleitzen 04:07, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of H. D. Moe, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.angelfire.com/poetry/wordbeat/FeaturedReaders/HDMoe.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted.

If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 18:39, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Moe Erasmus.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Moe Erasmus.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 19:09, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Your msg - response

I didn't delete the article, one of the Wikipedia Admins did. Due to the licensing of wikipedia, simply having the permission of the copyright holder is insufficient, it MUST be released under Public Domain or GFDL licensing as all content is relicensed under the GFDL.

Incidentally creating pages on people you know personally is not recommended - see WP:COI for assistance. Exxolon (talk) 22:19, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 00:27, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
