Thanks -- I wasn't able to locate them but perhaps I'm just missing something. --Hiraeth 17:40, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hiraeth, I took a look at your article as a result of your question to the help desk. Here are a few suggestions for you:

You may want to include a map, or a link to a map or to geographical coordinates, for an example of how this has been done elsewhere, please see: Jordanhill railway station
I think removing the bulleted text was a good idea. I suggest you also remove the mission statement, or at least move it down the page. Having it up at the top makes it look like this is marketing material for the musuem and could be construed as a violation of WP:POV. If you decide to keep it, you could move it further down and add a reference to show you are just quoting from another place, which looks less like Wikipedia is endorsing the misssion statement. There are many ways to do this. See WP:Reference.
Opinions differ on how many words to wikilink, but I personally think the things being exhibited in the musuem deserve wikilinks, so I would wikilink all of the following: furniture, clothing, photographs, scrapbooks, quilts and wedding gowns.
I definitely would wikilink guild
I would make the picture at the top a little larger. This is also a matter of taste. I see you have not specified a size, which leaves it up to the user's preferences. This is often a good choice. However, in this case, I would be tempted to try [[Image:June 2005 C.JPG|thumb|300px|right|The Hoover House, one of Amherst's Museum's historic buildings.]]

Good luck! Johntex\^talk 03:35, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Johntex -- thank you! Great suggestions. I took your advice about the links, and the mission statement, and the picture right away! I'm going to work on the map idea later as well.

Very grateful! --Hiraeth 16:16, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Dragon Day 3.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Dragon Day 3.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. GrapedApe (talk) 12:52, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As an infrequent Wikipedia user, I never saw this message, and did not address it. The file in question, "Dragon Day3.jpg", was taken by me, over twenty years ago, scanned into my computer, and added to the Wikipedia page for Cornell's "Dragon Day". At the time I did so, I complied with all the rules there were regarding posting and copyright. Now, my photo has been removed without my consent. Rather dictatorially, I feel.

Proposed deletion of File:WikiHoover.jpg[edit]

The file File:WikiHoover.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
