Show preview

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, 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. Thanks again. Katr67 16:33, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Edit summaries

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. Katr67 16:33, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

You don't need to sign your edit summaries with 4 tildes--the page history automatically records who makes each edit. Katr67 22:53, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Response about OSF

I responded to your post on my tak page. I wanted to make sure you had seen it. Thanks. Katr67 20:59, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Article merge

There is info about merging articles at Help:Merging and moving pages. If you search that page for 'R from merge' you will find a section where it talks about the type of merge you describe; rather than delete the articles you can change them to redirects. Hope that helps --Jon186 (talk) 00:06, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Image:GreenShow.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:GreenShow.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Adoption

Hello, I am wondering if you are interested in me adopting you in Wikipedia's adoption program. By the looks of this page, it seems like you might be having some trouble, this is where I can help you. If you are interested, please leave a message on my talk page. Mr. Prez (talk) 12:26, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Page moved

I have moved the page Richard L. Hay, to Richard L. Hay (American geologist) for you. If there's anything else I can do, leave what you need done on my talk page. Mr. Prez (talk) 12:34, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Richard L. Hay (scenic designer)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Richard L. Hay (scenic designer), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Lacking reliable and verifiable sources to establish notability of an individual.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. tedder (talk) 05:34, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

I replied on my talk page. —EncMstr (talk) 21:28, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Redirects

Actually, both of the Richard L. Hay (scenic designer) and Richard L. Hay (geologist) can be found without trouble. Mr. Prez (talk) 18:27, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Richard Hay scenic designer.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Richard Hay scenic designer.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. Polly (Parrot) 21:59, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading a photo of Richard Hay. The notes on the photo appear to provide limited use for Wikipedia. While that is generous, it does not fit the spirit of a free encyclopedia—see that link for the limited circumstances for which a non-free photo is accepted. Free means anyone can use it for any purpose—even for profit. Since Mr. Hay is alive, it's possible someone could photograph him walking down the street, presumably on the way to a set design meeting, and upload it without restriction. Such a photo would be considerably preferable over a restricted-use professional photo. —EncMstr (talk) 22:34, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Richard L. Hay

Well, Wikipedia takes you very specifically, if it takes typing in Richard L. Hay (scenic designer) to find your page than that's what it takes, you can't change that.

Just to fill you in on adoption, it is not forever. Once I think you know everything you need to about Wikipedia, you will graduate. Since I can't tell you everything about adoption, for more information, see Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User/Adoptee's Area. Mr. Prez (talk) 11:02, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Richard L. Hay File

The file you are trying to upload appears to have been deleted, but don't be discouraged, that sort of thing happens to newcomers. You can try uploading the file again, then it might work. It might not have worked when you tried to edit it because there was some sort of glitch. Mr. Prez (talk) 14:26, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Redirects

Usually on Wikipedia, when you type in the title of a page that is a disambiguation, it takes you to the original page. There there should be a redirect on the top, and you should be able to get to the page you're looking for quickly, or, in some cases there is a link to the disambiguation page, so there is really no solution to this problem. If there is neither a redirect or disambiguation page at the top you can add it. Otherwise you must type in the exact title of the page. Mr. Prez (talk) 00:02, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Jerry Turner.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Jerry Turner.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the 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 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-enwikimedia.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 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-enwikimedia.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 file'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. Files 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. FASTILY_sock^(TALK) 01:04, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tony Taccone, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page David Edgar (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.

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.

Proposed deletion of File:JerryTurner.jpg

The file File:JerryTurner.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unused, low-res, no obvious use

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:01, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
