License tagging for File:Texas Gov Perry thinking about running.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Texas Gov Perry thinking about running.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 01:05, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

I, L.D.Allan, only make very occasional Wiki contributions. This is the first time I have dealt with Wiki photo permission issues. After reading Wiki guidelines, I realize the photo I uploaded may not conform. I can delete it, and/or find an appropriate replacement. I have contacted the FoxNews legal department to check on getting permission for the photo that accompanied their article. -- L d allan 30 May 2011

Rick Perry and intelligent design

In this case the characterization is correct. --John (talk) 19:51, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

I believe you are referring to "virtually all". Perhaps we can "agree to disagree" and use the actual quote from the Rick Casey artitle that was referenced? That article did not use the "virtually all" phrase. To me, misquoting a source is unacceptable and equivalent to "putting words in another person's mouth" --L d allan (talk) 30 May 2011

expertsexchange

I have something to tell you. The part where you posted about expertsexchange is entirely true. They used to have that domain in 1998-2001 (at least) and it was accessed primarily using it! I was an expert way back then! My school blocked access to the site because of the url and some people as well had issues accessing it because their filters thought it was a sex site, then EE added the hyphen to the URL so people wouldn't have trouble accessing the site. Then they wanted to drop that association when they learned about that. LOL.

so yes, please tell the others about this as well. it's true and I confirmed it! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pussinboots2121 (talk • contribs) 05:19, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of William W. "Bill" Carmody

If 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 William W. "Bill" Carmody 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 a person or group of people, but it does not credibly 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 "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, then please contact the deleting administrator. reddogsix (talk) 20:26, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Getting the ball rolling

Hi You recently created a stub for a soloist called Gilles Cachemaille. Over and above this there is zero information. I just tagged it as a WP:BLP delete because I originally thought it might be a living person but I just realised that early might mean something else. if you want to create a page there is a minimum of information that has to be added. If you want to get the ball rolling as you put it you can have a look here

• WP:AFH or maybe use
• WP:Requested articles by adding your request in the right category.

But first of all you must do a minimum of research to help the editors. happy editing --Domdeparis (talk) 10:52, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Tony Wise

I noticed your addition to the American Birkebeiner article. I've reverted because that's not really the way to create a biography or to add material to Wikipedia. If you want to create a new article on Tony Wise, you might start learning about how to do that here and here. But I see from the above messages that you've already started a couple of articles... 32.218.152.233 (talk) 17:45, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Also, the page at Tony Wise currently redirects to American Birkebeiner, but the redirect can always be replaced with a suitable biography, provided it's well-sourced and shows notability. See also WP:42. clpo13_(talk) 17:51, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

This inexperienced wiki editor gave it his best shot and would be thrilled to hand it over to an editor who knows much more wiki-markup than I do. Please.

L d Allan, here is the material that you attempted to add, earlier, in case you wish to use it to develop a biographical article. Happy editing! Cheers, User:HopsonRoad 19:59, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Tony Wise Biography

• Information below from Tony Wise Museum of the American Birkebeiner
  • This Wiki jr. editor lacks the experience to get an adequate entry for Tony Wise.
  • Currently, the wiki entry for Tony Wise somehow redirects to the American Birkebeiner which seems bizarre. The immediately previous embedded link for American Birkebeiner somehow comes out in bold. There seems to be some kind of redirected indirection going on, perhaps unintentional.
  • I am ignorant about how to break out a separate entry for Mr. Wise. Help appreciated from a wiki editor
  • I am stunned that there wasn't already a separate entry for Mr. Wise. He really was a legendary figure in northern Wisconsin.
  • help appreciated ... I really am clueless on how to rationalize the apparent incoherent tangle that may be happening.
• Tony Wise was a visionary and tireless promoter of northern Wisconsin.
• Upon returning from World War II, Wise started Telemark ski resort in 1947 and operated the Cable, WI area lodge through 1984
• In 1973, Wise founded the American Birkebeiner cross-country ski race from Hayward to Cable, WI
• Wise founded the Lumberjack World Championships in Hayward, WI
• Wise founded Historyland and the local lumberjack shows in Hayward WI
• In 1957, Wise formed the Sawyer County Historical Society located in Hayward, WI
• Wise was an avid environmentalist and instrumental in the protection of the Namekagon and St. Croix Rivers and their respective designations as Wild and Scenic National Riverways in northern Wisconsin
• Wise served in the Army National Guard as Company Commander and Lieutenant Colonel in Hayward, WI
• In 1963, Wise received the Eisenhower Trophy for the most outstanding Army National Guard Unit in Wisconsin, the Red Arrow Division
• Wise formed the Worldloppet, an international sports federation of cross-country skiing marathons. The federation was founded in 1978 in Uppsala, Sweden with a goal of promoting the sport of cross-country skiing through various ski races around the world. Only one and the best race from a country can be a member of Worldloppet. Today, the Worldloppet unites 20 races from Europe, America, Asia and Oceania.
• Wise lost Telemark Ski Resort through bankruptcy in 1984. When Wise tried to retain his rights to the American Birkebeiner ski race, the court ruled against him. In 1984, members of the Cable and Hayward communities stepped forward to form the American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation (ABSF) to continue the popular ski race. The ABSF continues its strong governance of the race today.
• Wise was instrumental in establishing the legendary Birkebeiner Trail system. Today, the Birkie Trail recreational system spans over 100 kilometers from Bayfield to Sawyer county in northern Wisconsin
• In 1975, in recognition of founding the American Birkebeiner; spreading Norwegian culture and traditions; and strengthening ties between Norway and the United States; Wise was awarded the St. Olav Medal by King Olav V of Norway. He was honored with an audience with King Olav at the Royal Palace in Oslo in 1977.
• In 1988, Wise was inducted into the United States Ski Hall of Fame
• Tony Wise passed away on April 6, 1995 in Hayward, Wisconsin

Speedy deletion of Colorado Ballot Initiative 120

The page Colorado Ballot Initiative 120 has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

This page appeared to be a direct copy from https://ballotpedia.org/Colorado_22-Week_Abortion_Ban_Initiative_(2020). For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
