Image source problem with Image:Buffalorock.png

Image Copyright problem

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Buffalorock.png. 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, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:43, 15 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

University of West Alabama Page

Sagefats, I have updated the University of West Alabama Wikipedia page extensively and added new sections on Presidents and Student Organizations. I think I have done a pretty nice job on the article myself. Let me know what you think! Also, on the talk page, it says the class is still a start article. Should that be moved up or something? Anyway, I look forward to hearing from you. UWAFanatic05 03:05, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

• looks good to me. i don't know too much about that university project crap. it doesn't really matter. as far as i'm concerned, you can feel free to remove the whole tag. you can request an upgrade or something from whoever does the tagging. i don't think it really matters. there's a lot of useless "projects" on wikipedia. anywho, looks good. i was wondering if there was a code for a collapsible/expandable table for things like the presidents, orgs, greeks, etc. just trying to think of ways to fancy/professionalize it up a bit and save some space for the benefit of the reader. -Sagefats 17:22, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
  • I agree with you regarding the code for a collapsible/expandable table on those things. I don't know how to do it but that sounds like a great idea and would really save some space for the benefit of the reader. Also, I don't know who to request an upgrade from regarding the tagging. If you could find out that and how to do the tables, I would certainly appreciate it! If not, I can just go on there and remove the whole tag. Thanks so much for replying to me! It's important that I get feedback and since you know UWA like I do, it's awesome! Thanks again! UWAFanatic05 03:05, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
    • I apologize for reverting that and putting the Greek section back on the page! I like your idea about cutting down! Please fix that back like you had it! I think the page is getting too long myself as well. Again, I am so so sorry! UWAFanatic05 03:29, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey y'all!

We're going to be having our first Mississippi meetup next month, and I would love it if you'd like to come out! A few of us will be staying overnight, so if you feel up to it, we could have a meet and greet that night and then breakfast the next morning and talk about Wikipedia and everyone's areas of expertise. Let's show 'em how it's done Southern-style! Mike H. Fierce! 22:18, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Notability of UWA Student Organizations

A tag has been placed on UWA Student Organizations requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. TM 20:28, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

WP:Hornbook -- a new WP:Law task force for the J.D. curriculum

Hi Sagefats,

I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in United States legal articles to take a look at WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".

Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.

• Each casebook will have a subpage.

• Over the course of a semester, each subpage will shift its focus to track the unfolding curriculum(s) for classes using that casebook around the country.
• It will also feature an extensive, hyperlinked "index" or "outline" to that casebook, pointing to pages, headers, or {{anchors}} in Wikipedia (example).
• Individual law schools can freely adapt our casebook outlines to the idiosyncratic curriculum devised by each individual professor.

• I'm encouraging law students around the country to create local chapters of the club I'm starting at my own law school, "Student WP:Hornbook Editors". Using WP:Hornbook as our headquarters, we're hoping to create a study group so inclusive that nobody will dare not join.

What you can do now:

1. Add WP:Hornbook to your watchlist, {{User Hornbook}} to your userpage, and ~~~~ to Wikipedia:Hornbook/participants.

2. If you're a law student,

• Email http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Hornbook to your classmates, and tell them to do the same.
• Contact me directly via talk page or email about coordinating a chapter of "Student WP:Hornbook Editors" at your own school.

(You don't have to start the club, or even be involved in it; just help direct me to someone who might.)

3. Introduce yourself to me. Law editors on Wikipedia are a scarce commodity. Do knock on my talk page if there's an article you'd like help on.

Regards, Andrew Gradman ^talk/_WP:Hornbook 19:54, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Revamped UWA page

Hey Sagefats, I have been busy revamping the University of West Alabama page here on Wikipedia. I corrected all of the subheadings to meet manual of style standards. I condensed some of the sections as well and most importantly, I added citations!  :) The infobox has been updated too. When you get a chance, please take a look at it for me. I would greatly appreciate the feedback you have for me. Also, I wasn't sure on the "Give 'Em Hell Big L" chant, so maybe you can correct me if that's wrong. I look forward to hearing back from you. I really hope that we can get this up to Wikipedia standards also. Thanks!

UWAFanatic05 (talk) 19:27, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

• looks A-ok to me. wikinazis are really annonying. you are right, if UA gets to do it, UWA should too. what are you talking about re: Give Em Hell slogan? and is the infobox now larger than it used to be?Sagefats (talk) 23:54, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me. Sorry I'm just now getting back to you. We came to a mutual agreement, and Drmies took the fight song off UA's page. He was right. Don't worry about that slogan. I took it down. You are right that the infobox was larger, but it should be regular size again. I was updating it, and for some reason, it got larger than ever. Anyways, I've added a few images tonight and intend to get more up when I have some of my friends on campus take them for me. I can't since I'm not up there anymore. It looks like it's going well, and we might get a really good rating on it. UWAFanatic05 (talk) 04:46, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

• just remember that according to the last of the Wikipedia:Five_pillars, there are no rules...Sagefats (talk) 16:03, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I remember that and will keep that in mind. Thanks for the reminder. UWAFanatic05 (talk) 01:59, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

• Hey Sagefats, I hope you are doing well. I added some pictures to the UWA page today, but I'm not that great at uploading them. That's one thing I still really need help with. Are you good with that? If you are, please let me know. Maybe you can fix those and get them brought up to Wikipedia standards. I'm really confused by the licensing and rationale information. I'd be grateful to get your feedback on this page as well as the West Alabama Tigers page. Thanks so much; I look forward to hearing from you. UWAFanatic05 (talk) 03:48, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
  • i don't have a computer right now, so my contribution is limited. and as for the licensing stuff, who knows. the best thing to do is submit your own pictures and release them into the public domain, by declaring "i release my original work into the public domain..." there are some guidelines on fair use somewhere. no matter what you do, even if it's by the letter of wiki law, somebody will have something to say about it eventually, either helpful or critical, or some bot will tag it. if somebody deletes it, just reupload it. if someone tags for deletion, just remove the tag. remember - THERE ARE NO RULES! anyways, i'll keep my eye on it and offer what i can...Sagefats (talk) 17:55, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
  • those pics look just fine to me, btwSagefats (talk) 17:59, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia Campus Ambassadors wanted in Troy, Alabama

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you're listed as a Wikipedian in Alabama. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at Troy University, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

I know Alabama is a big state, but if you happen to live near Troy and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from Troy who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 16:16, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Help needed

Hello Sagefats! Your photo File:3rdpres1901.jpg is now available on Commons! Unfortunately the source got lost. Could you please have a peek and add the source? I search on the web and couldn't find anything. You can also let me know and I'll add the source accordingly. Either way, I'd like to remove the file from the category of media without source. Those files are subject to deletion and it would be a shame to delete a file that clearly isn't a copyright violation. Thanks for your help! Hedwig in Washington ^(TALK) 01:38, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Please clarify on what you mean by "source." That photo is from 1901 and therefore is in the public domain. The picture is from the Third Presbyterian Church's library/archives, but I don't know who took the photo. Please advise on what needs to be done. Many thanks, Sagefats (talk) 20:47, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

However, the image is currently 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).
