Userfied Leslie Harpold
editHi MetaGrrrl,
I've moved a copy of the page to your userspace: User:MetaGrrrl/Leslie Harpold. You can work on it in your own time and improve it. When you think it is ready and good to go, just shout and I'll be happy to move it into mainspace if it satisfies the notability requirements. If you've got any questions about Wikipedia policy, feel free to ask on my talk page. —Tom Morris (talk) 22:42, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you!
editYour article about Leslie Harpold is very good. I have a sense of how much work it takes to write an article like that, and it would just get harder in the future as more links break, so I am glad to see it now. Thanks for writing it. Dreamyshade (talk) 23:09, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you! I really appreciate your help and I am learning from your improvements to the article. MetaGrrrl (talk) 23:21, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

editThanks for uploading File:Fox Hills Country Club sign in mid-20th century.png, which you've attributed to Dinah Sanders. 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 [email protected], 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 {{OTRS 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 [email protected].
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. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 11:22, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
This also applies to File:76 gas station with tower sign in Southern California circa 1930s.png. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 11:22, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks, Diannaa! Both now updated with links to my blog where I announced these gifted to the public domain. MetaGrrrl (talk) 19:15, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
