Non-free rationale for File:United Teachers of New Orleans (logo).png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:United Teachers of New Orleans (logo).png. 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. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:32, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
Benefis
Tim, I'm not sure why you continue suppressing any insight into the truly extraordinary nature of the decision Benefis Health System made to withdraw from JCAHO (it's actually called "JC" now, by the way). 82% of US Hospitals are accredited by the JC and an outright loss of JC accreditation, either voluntarily or through failure to meet standards, is a highly unusual event, especially for a hospital of this size. The "NPOV" view is actually that dropping accreditation is no big deal, but that is precisely the view that the hospital has been attempting to promulgate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.156.160.130 (talk) 19:07, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not pushing any viewpoint. In fact, I'm the one who added the citations and articles that met Wikipedia standards, and which showed that Benefis was dropping JCAHO accreditation in favor of CMS accreditation. The article makes no statment one way or the other about whether this is a good idea or not. You are the one making assumptions. If the Benefis decision is so bad, and causing such controversy, then why not find published articles that say this? If the Benefis decision is so bad, you should be able to find articles showing that Benefis' patient care has gotten worse, or that donors have stopped giving, or that patients have gone elsewhere for their care. Please add them to the article if you can find them. Your opinion and mine don't matter. What matters is published, verifiable, reliably sourced claims and facts. - Tim1965 (talk) 22:13, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Reportedly haunted locations in San Francisco
Reportedly haunted locations in San Francisco might interest you. If you could add some decent sourced book content or whatever this would be great.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:36, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
Image Nation
Hi, Tim. I saw that you have edited Abu Dhabi Media a few times. I just created Image Nation partially in response to Promised Land (2012 film), which mentions concern about Image Nation Abu Dhabi being involved. I'm wondering if you think it would be a good idea to move some historical detail from Abu Dhabi Media to Image Nation? If you want, we can discuss ideas on Image Nation's talk page. Erik (talk | contribs) 19:38, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
- Tim, if you do not mind, I will migrate some content from Abu Dhabi Media to Image Nation. Erik (talk | contribs) 02:37, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

DYK nomination of The Haunting (1963 film)
Hello! Your submission of The Haunting (1963 film) at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! -- Cheers, Riley Huntley 06:42, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
- Tim, there remains an issue with the article's reference citations that should be settled now, while we're hoping for a new reviewer. It should be a straightforward fix; I hope you'll be able to stop by soon and take care of it. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:47, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
DYK for J. Edgar Hoover Building
On 12 October 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article J. Edgar Hoover Building, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the J.

George Washington Memorial Parkway
I see that you added a lot of information to the history section of George Washington Memorial Parkway. Could you insert some suheadings to break up the "wall of text" that resulted? Thanks, Imzadi 1979 → 04:20, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
- Given how much it ended up being, I'm going to strip it out and make a new article. I didn't realize just how much history there was! - Tim1965 (talk) 23:18, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
- There's no need for a separate article. We have FAs on roads with similarly long History sections. U.S. Route 131 comes to mind. Subheadings help a lot to keep things organized with it looking like a single "wall of text", that's all. Imzadi 1979 → 01:30, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
DYK for The Haunting (1963 film)
On 12 November 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article The Haunting (1963 film), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that to enhance their performances, a "prescored" soundtrack of violent noises and voices was played during the filming of the 1963 film The Haunting to give the actors something to which to react? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Haunting (1963 film). You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.
