Image copyright problem with Image:Scietific_Method.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Scientific_Method.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images.

License tagging for File:Opportunity Rover Examines Tisdale 2.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading File:Opportunity Rover Examines Tisdale 2.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) 02:05, 13 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi. When you recently edited Brotherhood of War (novel series), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Distinguished Service Cross (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Sources for Awards for Tulsi Gabbard edit

Hi,

can you please take a look at Talk:Tulsi_Gabbard#Awards? There should be reliable sources for the awards, can you please find and cite them? --Widerborst (talk) 14:03, 4 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

I have observed that veterans – particularly those who have served in combat – are reticent to list their awards and accomplishments. I can try contacting a member of her staff, but I don't know that that would qualify as a valid citation. I certainly have no access to her service record. What would you recommend?
