No, I didn't delete it, but I did mark it for deletion. The article, as you noted, was nothing but a cut-and-paste from a published obituary; that's not appropriate material for Wikipedia. Even if it were, there was nothing on the page that indicated that the subject was sufficiently WP:BIO notable for inclusion in Wikipedia; I don't mean to speak poorly of your grandfather, but if even his obituary can't say anything significant about him other than being a bank president, then it doesn't seem likely he'd meet the main criterion: has the person made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in the specific field?

- Just write the article and post it. Don't start with copy-and-pasted material that would never be acceptable for Wikipedia (read any of our other biographies to see what I mean). Probably the easiest way would be to start the article with his name, his dates, and what makes him notable; add {{bio-stub}} to the bottom of the article, and save it. Then you can flesh it out. You need to make it clear in the first couple of sentences just what widely recognized contribution (as mentioned above) he has made. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆
OK Fair enough. I have done so. --Irishkevin2 06:03, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:RossHeimannLetterAug1978.pdf
editThanks for uploading Image:RossHeimannLetterAug1978.pdf. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 03:09, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:WilliamAConway0001.jpg
edit
Thanks for uploading File:WilliamAConway0001.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-en@wikimedia.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-en@wikimedia.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. NW (Talk) 02:57, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
File source problem with File:ConwaytoHeimann 11 78.pdf
edit
Thank you for uploading File:ConwaytoHeimann 11 78.pdf. 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 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. 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 refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
