File permission problem with File:Robert J. Lane.jpg

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

If you are the copyright holder for 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 {{permission 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 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. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Massimo Faggioli

Talk:History of the Knights of Columbus#Massimo Faggioli. Not to let issues linger forever but I thought I'd just wait another week or two to see if anyone wants to say anything about this. If not, I think it should be removed partly because among other things, it is just a single source for a fairly strong claim. Novellasyes (talk) 20:25, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

I don't feel terribly strongly about it either way. Be bold! --Slugger O'Toole (talk) 22:32, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Changes in Rent control page

Are you aware of the discussions in the talk page? Or you just simply deleted the edits as a matter of ideological bias? Cheers, 139.47.66.252 (talk) 15:20, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

You have been reverted several times. If you want to make this edit, the appropriate place to discuss it is on the article's talk page, not mine. --Slugger O'Toole (talk) 18:30, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
