Hi there. Glad you enjoyed the plate of cookies :). I wanted to welcome you after I saw the fantastic work you did on the Barbara Payton article (a fan actress of mine whose article was woefully lacking much needed info). Anyhow, adding the page numbers to citation is super easy - just add "p. 1" in the citation you already provided. If you need help on how to properly format the citation, have a look at WP:INCITE to see an example. If you need any additional help on anything else, please don't hesitate to contact me.

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Quill 2.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.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. 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. 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 specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 00:09, 6 March 2011 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 00:09, 6 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Chanel No. 5

edit

If you rewrote the article and are confident that it no longer sounds like an advertisement, you can remove the maintenance tag yourself. For future reference, any editor can remove such tags as long as the problem no longer exists. You don't need to be an administrator or get special permission to remove a maintenance tag. Pinkadelica 23:08, 12 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Just edit the article like you normally would and remove the box. Simply delete it. Pinkadelica 23:29, 12 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Image tagging for File:Iribe photo.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading File:Iribe photo.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Replaceable fair use File:Parfums Rosine 2.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Parfums Rosine 2.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. 22:07, 7 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Verifiability

edit

Verifiability is policy. You may not remove source requests without providing a source. George VII is not mentioned in the source you link. Please provide a valid source for this.

You have also removed a good bit of information sourced to other books with no explanation. Wikipedia does not base articles on single books. We draw from a variety of secondary sources to ensure that coverage is even and undue weight is not given to the perspective of a single biographer. I am restoring some of the sourced information you removed, as well as fixing the references to the established format. If you would like to discuss why some of these sources should be excluded, please do so at the talk page. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 00:48, 12 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Non-free rationale for File:Le Temoin Mar 4, 1934.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Le Temoin Mar 4, 1934.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Image of Princess Hélène Soutzo.jpg)

edit

  Thanks for uploading File:Image of Princess Hélène Soutzo.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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:38, 27 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Streetcar Named Desire

edit

I had hoped to spare your feelings, but since you are pushing the issue: the artwork is bad, low quality. And to use your own words, whether or not it "resonates" is "purely a subjective decision". Wikipedia is not an image gallery, and certainly not a place for you to display your personal artwork. Get consensus on the article's talk page before restoring. By the way, messages to other editors goes on talk pages, not the user page. Cresix (talk) 21:20, 16 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

World War II editing

edit

Hi, I recently saw an edit of yours on the Ayn Rand article that I removed because it was sourced to Daily Kos, but I subsequently noticed edits you have made to the biographical articles on Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and Ezra Pound. These edits seem to be tendentiously pushing a position that accuses these individuals or other parties of enabling the Holocaust or the Nazis in general. You have made other edits pertaining to the topic of World War II, such as the edits you made at the Casablanca Conference article, that similarly seem to be aimed at promoting the idea of sympathies for fascism and antisemitism being a driving force for Allied leaders. I believe you are putting an undue emphasis on these aspects of the subject and would ask you to consider trimming it down and/or expounding on alternative perspectives.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 20:43, 22 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

To: The Devil's Advocate. You’ve seemingly done research on my edits. When the devil takes enough interest in a mortal to send an emissary with a message, it merits serious attention. Thanks for "the heads up." Betempte (talk) 17:51, 23 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Image of Princess Hélène Soutzo.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 01:14, 29 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Evelyn Nesbit

edit

Hi, I just reviewed Evelyn Nesbit, which you nominated for Good article status. I was concerned by the prose and image licensing, so unfortunately I was not able to pass it. Please take a look at my comments on the review page. I do hope you'll address the issues I pointed out (particularly with the prose) and renominate when the article is ready for it. I'd be happy to help with copyediting; I may have been a bit harsh in my review, but I'm generally amenable to a more colorful, "spicy" prose style on Wikipedia – within reason :) Cheers, Accedietalk to me 22:17, 1 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Stanford White

edit

Hello, you want to put the Stanford White article on your watchlist, as an editor is attempting to remove your phrase "connoisseur of teen-age girls" from the article, because, in the editor's opinion, White was raping them, and such language is therefore not appropriate. I've reverted them a couple of times, and another editor has done so as well, but it would be good if you were available to keep an eye on it as well. Best, BMK (talk) 02:53, 7 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
