New Category

You added a new Category:Medieval and Renaissance hill towns in Italy to a lot of italian Town last night. How about Castelfidardo, Gualdo Cattaneo, Castelluccio (Norcia), Castelfidardo, Volterra, Urbino, Bevagna - and still a lot more... Have fun! —Zyance 09:16, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your note "The Category "Medieval and Renaissance Hill Towns in Italy" was vandalized and somehow deleted without a trace. Some of the towns that you list were on it but I just hadn't completed putting the category back. Your help in doing so would be greatly appreciated, especially when it comes to hill towns in the North and South of Italy. I am familiar with pretty much all the hill towns within three hours of Rome. I am particularly interested in helping people discover many of the lesser known hill towns, most irreplaceable gems, that with population declines are struggling to survive and need the tourism.~~MGerety 16 March 2007

Just added Collepino for you. Have a look! Have you flipped thru my Italien galleries (on my Commons page)? from a trip to Umbria in September 2006. I look in my fotobox, if I can find some more rareties (-: In April I will go again to Umbria - any requests for photo souveniers? Zyance 16:34, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Miles, sorry that THEY didn't let you keep up the category. Short "discussion" anyway. I looked thru the newly merged page. What worries me most is that most towns are illustrated with no or only a few photos. So for most of the casual passers bye there is no way of getting an idea of the beauty of these places. I got some pictures of places in tuscany I'm not realy shure of their names anymore. Do you think you could identify when I upload them? Nice theat you are also in contact with Francesco G. Zyance

Please stop. If you continue to delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Talk:Maremma Sheepdog, you will be blocked for vandalism. Under no circumstances should you blank out or remove contents from a talk page unless they are completely unrelated to the subject. Your clearing of the Maremma Sheepdog talk page is a strong violation of Wikipedia policy. I have restored the original talk page before all of your edits/clearing.

Maremma Sheepdog

Hi! Great work on trying to get this article into better shape. Might I make one suggestion, though? Please read Wikipedia:WikiProject_Dog_breeds#Recommended_article_structure to see what the appropriate sections for a dog breed article are. For consistency, its preferred that the dog breed articles use a similar sectional format. For now I've updated the article to use the sections available, but that guide should help in future edits. Thanks Collectonian 14:12, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

File source problem with File:276551135 6cf8eac7c2Hannah212006MonteC.dvb.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:276551135 6cf8eac7c2Hannah212006MonteC.dvb.jpg. 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, 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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

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. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 07:05, 13 November 2009 (UTC).
