Academic dress

The difference is one of regional usage, but I would have thought that Academic dress is more generic than Academic regalia - in England the word regalia signifies the ensigns and attire of a monarch, e.g. his crown, sceptre, robe, etc. See the Wikipedia article on regalia.

I have edited Academic regalia to redirect to Academic dress for the time being and added the phrase "Academic regalia" to the Academic dress article. I assume the term Academic dress is not confusing to Americans? Andrew Yong 16:06, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

"Academic dress" is not confusing to me, and I am American. I have never heard the term "academic regalia". I rv'd one of the places Droitet changed existing links from academic dress to academic regalia, but not all of the others, pending group consensus. PKM 04:05, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

I have copied this discussion to the discussion page of academic dress. Andrew Yong 10:51, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:JFKatBC.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:JFKatBC.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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. 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 specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

Better source request for File:John F. Kennedy Convocation Address at Boston College.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:John F. Kennedy Convocation Address at Boston College.jpg. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:04, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
