Notability of Society of Les Voyageurs edit
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Society of Les Voyageurs, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Society of Les Voyageurs seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Society of Les Voyageurs, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Feria de Abril edit
Hola, he visto que has colocado dos imágenes de la Feria de Abril en esta wikipedia en inglés, he visto también que conoceas el idioma español ¿no? Te voy a pedir dos favores si me lo permites y siempre que tengas tiempo, claro está. Primero me daré a conocer, soy el Usuario Lobillo de la wikipedia en español, autor del artículo de la Feria de Abril casi íntegramente, al mismo tiempo que autor de casi todas las fotos del artículo, bueno, ahora viene la petición: ¿Te importaría colgar las fotos de la Feria de Abril de la que eres propietario en el repositorio de Commons? (es simplemente para que estén todas juntas en el mismo sitio). La segunda petición: En su momento traduje al inglés de forma "automática" (traductores automáticos) el artículo íntegro de la Feria de Abril, pero la compañera que inició el artículo en inglés me aconsejó (al mismo tiempo que lo derivó a la discusión del artículo) que eso no se debía hacer pues el resultado es pésimo, la petición es la siguiente: ¿podrías echarle un vistazo al resultado que generó mi traducción automática que se ubica en la "discussion" de Seville Fair? siempre que tuvieses tiempo, claro. Un saludo. --Saeta (talk) 08:29, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading images/media to Wikipedia! As you may know, there is another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In future, please upload media there instead (see m:Help:Unified login). That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view previous uploads by going to your user contributions on the left and choosing the 'image' namespace from the drop down box (or see [1]). Please note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Help us spread the word about Commons by informing other users, and please continue uploading!--OsamaKReply? on my talk page, please 02:41, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Unspecified source/license for Image:GRPO Black Powder Demonstration.JPG edit
Thanks for uploading Image:GRPO Black Powder Demonstration.JPG. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Thank you for starting this. I have posted some comments on the talk page. Regards, Kablammo (talk) 15:50, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
- Nice start. Are you going to add in-line cites? Eventually it will need them. Regards, Kablammo (talk) 20:50, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the note. I agree it is easiest to add while writing the accompanying text. Please cite to page numbers; if the book is listed in the sources all you have to do is cite to the author name and page. I'll be happy to help but don't have that source. I want to add some material myself but will wait until you're further along, to make sure we don't conflict. Kablammo (talk) 21:48, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
I have added some points based on Chantal Nadeaus book "Fur Nation". Its available as well on books, so have a look, BR --Polentario (talk) 00:28, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Larry Gould.jpg edit
Thanks for uploading File:Larry Gould.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. 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).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:34, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
