QC
editI've noticed you've written on a lot of Quad City related articles. Would you like to help me with them? CTJF83 chat 03:49, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
- To the extent that I can. I'm open to feedback or suggestions, I'm still learning. Using schools project as an excuse to make some pages, and also created a couple of the bigger QC companies I noticted didn't have pages.--Powerten (talk) 17:56, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
File source problem with File:Phhsbuilding.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Phhsbuilding.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, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. 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 per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 05:16, 22 February 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Closeapple (talk) 05:16, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

- Received permissions from Morrison High School and Havana High School. Schools without photographers granting permission to use their image have had their image deleted per the 7 day policy.--Powerten (talk) 18:28, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
You are now a Reviewer
editHello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 23:15, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
Davidson College

KHS
editBrad Smith (businessman)
editHey, thanks for the clean-up on the Brad Smith (businessman) article. I found citations for most of the stuff using simple google searches. Couple of changes--
- The Boston Sports Radio comment didn't need a citation since it was already there at the end of the paragraph.
- However, the quote wasn't that he was the 'best teammate' in college football but rather a "true teammate who loves Pete Carroll and affirms his vigor."
- He actually made multiple All-American teams; one of them was already listed in a separate citation.
- Despite looking in media guides for Davidson basketball, I couldn't find a reference to him working on the basketball team, so I deleted that. Usually being a manager isn't notable, anyway.
Thanks for your contributions. Now there are several thousands unreferenced WP:BLP, so let's get back to work! Guiltlessgecko (talk) 21:51, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Bpchslogo.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Bpchslogo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 04:45, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
- Updated intended page so that image is still in use. Covered under WP:Logos. Removed deletion notice.--Powerten (talk) 18:47, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
Schools in Adams County, Illinois
editHi, I am undoing your revisions on the schools in Adams County. The top county category should mostly include subcategories, and the schools are now in Category:Schools in Adams County, Illinois. This links them to Education and Buildings and structures in the county, as well as groups them at the top county level. I am working my way through all the Illinois counties and will create school categories for each county as well. Thanks. Jllm06 (talk) 14:47, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
- Not comfortable with these edits. The categories are minor and obscure and will only ever have 1 article. Left a message your page. --Powerten (talk) 21:11, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of YASH Technologies
editIf this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on YASH Technologies requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 10:47, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

- The page was incorrectly edited such that the image associationn was broken. I will revert to the former and correct version and disambiguate. --Powerten (talk) 18:13, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Fulton High School (Kansas)
editThe article Fulton High School (Kansas) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- No content. No indication of notability on closed high school in town of under 200 people.
While all constructive 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}}
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 {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. TexasAndroid (talk) 12:58, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:OrionMusicPavilion.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:OrionMusicPavilion.jpg. 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 on 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. Kelly hi! 09:17, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
