Thank you SatuSuro, I am on a steep learning curve. Imago blue (talk) 03:27, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK making it slightly steeper -(1) never go into archives - they archives (2) learn how to do the four tildes thingo on your keboard and also into your preferences and sort out your signature (3) you dont need to answer on your own talk page either (4) if youre doing bios of oz anthros - excellent a very very short list to date and not very consistent with good bios - but make sure you read up on WP:BLP if you go for the living ones at all - for instance - BTW - Watson bio is short of in line cites/notes - its a strange place this wikipedia - many people leave out of frustration and a range of clinically defined disorders - and some with those even stay :( - always free free to ask any question about anything - and I will try to refrain from cynical short responses :) Satu Suro 04:26, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Two questions: (a) does the ELGW article no longer count as a stub, and if so should I try to change this classification or will that happen at some stage without my help?

stubs can be identified by {{xxx }} covered templates at the bottom of a page - or by the tag on the talk page

(b) I'd like to expand the 'Dorothy Auchterlonie' article a little (she spent 20 years researching Grant Watson's life, among other things)

poor thing - I have tried to collect on Seaforth McKenzie for longer than that but will probably never get a book written

but in her academic work she was better known as Dorothy Green (Australian author and literary critic). I see there are functions for redirecting a search for 'Dorothy Green' to the right page, and for disambiguation, but am not sure how to work them in conjunction. Can I request Wikipedia to do this?

Done - well worth opening the edits that I did to see how it is done

I once had the opportunity to record a now famous media character who had a comedy line about taking the internet for a walk (bit like mixing metaphors about dogs and a few other things) wikipedia wont do anything, we cannot even take it for a walk - we either work it out or find someone who can...

Thanks again, hope this doesn't seem too obtuse. Imago blue 1:17 pm, Today (UTC+8)

Nah too simple - next question please :) Satu Suro 10:12, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Eugenia.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Eugenia.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. FASTILY_sock^(TALK) 07:10, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Still feeling my way here in US copyright terms-- in Australia this image is regarded as out of copyright, to the best of my knowledge. It has been frequently published in newspapers and other venues in this format, including by me. Imago blue 03:03, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:09-0 Peter, Perth 1910 - 5.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:09-0 Peter, Perth 1910 - 5.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. FASTILY_sock^(TALK) 07:35, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright tag added, I hope correctly Imago blue 03:04, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Eugenia.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Eugenia.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 00:28, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Eugene Falleni sources

Please see Talk:Eugene Falleni. That is the appropriate place to make your arguments, not in edit summaries. Reading this essay about verifiaiblity first might be helpful. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 02:29, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
