Image copyright problem with Image:Mitchell edit from TAMU.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Mitchell edit from TAMU.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 image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 06:28, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Welcome!

Howdy Matt.a.w! Thank you very much for improving the List of Texas A&M University people article. I was one of the editors who contributed to it, and am happy to see it improved. I took care of the images you got messages about, except the Mitchell one (shown above). Just don't upload any images from websites, otherwise they would be deleted. Only images that are licensed for free use or released into the public domain may be used. Even images that are licensed for "educational purposes" or "non-commercial use" are not allowed. You put in a lot of work in cropping out those images — good thing they came from Wikipedia, otherwise they would have been deleted. Again, thank you for your work. Here are a few links that you may find useful:

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Mitchell edit from TAMU.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Mitchell edit from TAMU.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:12, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Matthew Wey Columbia Law School.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Matthew Wey Columbia Law School.jpg. 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 "Edit this 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) 07:05, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Matthew Wey

A tag has been placed on Matthew Wey requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Accounting4Taste:talk 21:05, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

June 2009

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Matthew Wey, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 01:56, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Please hold on a minute

You have removed several people from the list of A&M people which are certainly noteworthy. Perhaps we could talk about it on the talk apge and come up with some better guidelines for inclusion. — BQZip01 — ^talk 22:04, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

As you may have noticed, there are quite a few Aggies around here (for better or for worse... :-) )...

Howdy! As a current or past contributor to a related article, I thought I'd let you know about WikiProject Texas A&M, a collaborative effort to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Texas A&M University. If you would like to participate, you can visit the project page, where you can join the project and see a list of open tasks and related articles. Thanks and Gig 'em! — BQZip01 — talk 22:46, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of John Zachry

The article John Zachry has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not notable. Not all CEOs are notable.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Hairhorn (talk) 21:57, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

August 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Shane Everett has been reverted, as it appears to have removed content from the page without explanation. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Articles for deletion nomination of Alexey Belyanin

I have nominated Alexey Belyanin, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alexey Belyanin. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. TimothyRias (talk) 12:58, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Henry Bartell Zachry, Jr.

A tag has been placed on Henry Bartell Zachry, Jr., requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

File:Casey Fossum edit.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, File:Casey Fossum edit.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion.

AfD nomination of John Zachry

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is John Zachry. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Zachry. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:05, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Texas A&M University people, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rebecca Robinson (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Your recent PRODs

Hi: I noticed that you proposed the deletion of a number of articles concerning faculty members. I have contested a number of these prods; I have let others stand. You may wish to familiarize yourself with WP:PROF, the relevant notability guideline, before proposing deletions of academic articles in the future. Specifically, academics whose books have had full-length reviews or are held in many libraries (usually checked via WorldCat), or who have many citations (usually checked via Google Scholar, although this is unreliable for older academics, particularly in the humanities), will usually pass the guideline. So will distinguished fellows of major learned associations, professors holding endowed chairs, and editors of major journals. Best regards, Ray^Talk 16:25, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited James E. Taylor High School, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page First United Methodist Church (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
