Your recent edits[edit]

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 05:00, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:64771 TXI DC9 jonproctor.jpg[edit]

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:64771 TXI DC9 jonproctor.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. Denniss (talk) 01:37, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Image permission problem with Image:64771 TXI DC9 jonproctor.jpg[edit]

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:64771 TXI DC9 jonproctor.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media 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 GFDL 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 did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image 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 in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Denniss (talk) 01:37, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Continental Airlines‎[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary, as you forgot on your recent edit to Continental Airlines‎. Thank you. Spikydan1 (talk) 21:17, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edit(s) to Continental Airlines‎, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. Spikydan1 (talk) 21:31, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Continental Airlines‎, even if your ultimate intention is to fix them. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Spikydan1 (talk) 21:33, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to Wikipedia. However, please know that editors do not own articles and should respect the work of their fellow contributors on Continental Airlines. If you create or edit an article, know that others are free to change its content. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. NcSchu_(Talk) 21:35, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not assume ownership of articles such as Continental Airlines. If you aren't willing to allow your contributions to be edited extensively or be redistributed by others, please do not submit them. Thank you. Spikydan1 (talk) 21:47, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For the sake of your fellow editors can you please use the preview button!? NcSchu_(Talk) 21:50, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You apparently have absolutely no knowledge or understanding of Wikipedia policies or procedures. What you've added is original research and we have no way of verifying your identity. Furthermore, you do not own this article and it is the right of any other editor to change what you've yourself changed. Many of your edits violate our Manual of Style. If you continue to try to have control over this article as you have been doing, you will be banned permanently. Please read up on Wikipedia policies before you continue editing. NcSchu_(Talk) 18:27, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep in mind that Wikipedia is not a race… Take some time when you are making edits to make sure they come out right by pressing the preview button.

Removing pictures in an article is not a personal opinion, having more than a few pictures causes major alignment problems. Some of your pictures were moved to other sections because they couldn’t fit in the original section (And still wanted to be included because they were good pictures).

Remember that no one owns the articles on Wikipedia, when you make an edit, it can be changed by another editor. If you can’t figure out why your edit was changed, start a topic on the article’s talk page to figure out how to make your future edits better.

When uploading picture to the Wikimedia Commons, upload the larger version of the picture if you have it…Pictures are always nice to look at when they are big...and have a better chance of being including in other articles about avation history.

Feel free to anyways ask questions on Talk:Continental Airlines concerning future edits. Spikydan1 (talk) 20:59, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All proofs of "permission" from anyone to use their photos on wikipedia MUST be proven using the WP:OTRS system, a simple claim of "he gave me permission via e-mail" must be substantiated in this manner by the person given the permission (not by you) or the images will be deleted. Please follow this link ( look for the details under "quick facts" for instructions on how to provide the proper proof for use. Please note that forwarding an e-mail is not sufficient, the e-mail must come from the owner of the photographs.Skier Dude (talk) 04:38, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

THANK YOU, SKIER DUDE, I WILL WORK THROUGH THIS, AS YOU HAVE INSTRUCTED. WOULD IT BE BEST FOR ME SIMPLY TO HAVE MR. PROCTOR SEND HIS EMAIL AUTHORIZATION DIRECTLY TO THESE FOLKS??Redstoneranger (talk) 16:00, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Frank Lorenzo, TXI, 1977.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Frank Lorenzo, TXI, 1977.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 00:26, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
