This is a duplicate of my response to your post on Wikipedia:Help desk:

Hi Barry- welcome to wikipedia! If you are willing to release your work under GNU Free Documentation License, Creative Commons or as Public Domain, you are welcome to upload your work (see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags). May I suggest that you also register on Wikimedia Commons [1], which is a repository of free media that can be used by all languages of wikipedia. If you upload an image there, it is available automatically to wikipedia (for an example of an image of mine, see Image:H19 showing engine.jpg). Anyway, if you just wish to just upload to english wikipedia, follow the link on the left margin of any WP page labelled "upload file" (see Wikipedia:Uploading images) --rogerd 15:55, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

HMS Tiger

I've removed your changes to the article on HMS Tiger because they're unsourced. If you have one from which you got that information post it on the talk page and we can discuss if it's reliable or not.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:10, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

May 2013

Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you made a change to an article, The Poseidon Adventure (novel), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. -- Doniago (talk) 14:42, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Let's talk

While your submissions are interesting trivia, they do not have any tertiary or secondary sources indicated. That typically means that the commentary is your own original research which is not accepted in the Wicky wacky wonderland. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 19:21, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

August 2015

Hello, I'm Oshwah. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Brancaster— because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 00:00, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, you may be blocked from editing. 2601:188:0:ABE6:E912:650D:B93C:F627 (talk) 00:21, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
