American politicians

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions of Sean O'Brien (Ohio), Kathleen Clyde, Bob Peterson (Ohio), Cliff Rosenberger, Terry Johnson (Ohio), and Andy Thompson (Ohio). I was wondering if before creating any more, you could perhaps consider completing these stubs with the standard information for biographical articles in encyclopedias, such as for example, year and place of birth, education, and brief details of personal life. You appear to be best placed for doing this. Many thanks and best wishes for 2011. --Kudpung (talk) 18:25, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Hi, sorry to be a nuisance, but I will also add Larry Woodford to the above list and remind you to compete an edit summary each time. If you are not sure how to edit and format articles, please refer to the links you were provided in the welcome message above, or don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. --Kudpung (talk) 18:38, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Linking

Thanks for your contributions. Please try to be more careful with your linking. The articles on the words Democratic and Republican are not very relevant to the articles that you are linking them from. please link to Republican Party (United States) and Democratic Party (United States) instead. Thanks. Ground Zero | t 03:19, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

The same goes for Republican Party and Democratic Party. Click on these links and you'll see that these are disambiguation pages that list all of the Republican and Democratic parties around the world, which is not what you want to link to. If you create a "piped" link like this: [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party]], then you'll take the reader to the article about the US Republican Party, which is what is useful for them. Thanks. Ground Zero | t 00:06, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Capri Cafaro.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Capri Cafaro.jpeg. 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 the "Edit" tab at the top of the 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) 04:05, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Nan Baker.jpeg

A tag has been placed on File:Nan Baker.jpeg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. [1], and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

• state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
• add the relevant copyright tag.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. NtheP (talk) 20:05, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Tom Letson.jpeg

Thank you for uploading File:Tom Letson.jpeg. 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 created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ww2censor (talk) 20:34, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

False copyright images

None of the images you found on the Ohio state website are public domain as you claim. Only California and Florida state images are know to be in the public domain by default. Your images are clearly copyright so we cannot use them. They will be deleted. You need to find freely licenced images if you want to add an image to these people's articles. We take copyright status very seriously as many uploaders make false claims to copyright which are plainly not substantiated by the sources. You may also find it useful to read my image copyright information page. Thanks ww2censor (talk) 20:45, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
