[edit] License tagging for Image:Citizen kane1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Citizen kane1.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 20:07, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Eli Noam

Hi Ashleynin, I noticed you have put a lot of effort into this article. Unfortunately it looks a lot more like a resume than an encyclopedia article. Take a look at some other Wikipedia articles and the Manual of Style to get an idea of how an article should be layed out. Mostly because of the formatting and partly because the article is unreferenced this article is being considered for deletion. You can rescue it by adding references (where did you find this info on Noam?). You can also help by doing the reformatting, but don't worry so much about that as others can help.

I noticed your edits to the article. It's coming along well. The last touch is to improve the lead paragragh. Check out this link for help. Clerks. 15:32, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
Here are a couple more pointers. References are usually third party sources, like a newspaper, journal or magazine article. The Columbia bio is definitely an External link. The lead section is too long. It should be a quick blurb that convinces the reader of the person's significance. It's getting better. Clerks. 21:06, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
