[edit] Diadophus regalis

hi dawson,

do you have any idea what subspecies this may be? thanks :) --Sarefo 21:55, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Assuming it actually came from northern California as the image comment says, my guess would be a D. p. occidentalis, but it could possibly also be a D. p. pulchellus. The two subspecies share range and intergrade, so it can be hard to tell them apart unless you know exactly where it came from. -Dawson 20:42, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bakersfield High School.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Bakersfield High School.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Zedla (talk) 05:14, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Typo redirect Sistrurus catetanus

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Sistrurus catetanus, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Sistrurus catetanus is a redirect page resulting from an implausible typo (CSD R3).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Sistrurus catetanus, 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. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot (talk) 23:01, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi Dawson! What an interesting bot. I was the person who requested this delete, but I did so because this name is misspelled: catetanus should be catetnaus. It's also not mentioned as a synonym. Cheers, --Jwinius (talk) 00:45, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Travis County, Texas

I saw your name at Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Photographers. I created Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Travis County, Texas to make it easier for photographers such as yourself to find location specific requested photographs. Please consider adding your name on the category page and monitoring other category pages that contain requested photographs in the areas you travel in Texas. Best.

Hi Dawson,

Do you have a higher-resolution version of ? I'd love to nominate it for featured picture status. Cheers! SingCal 17:37, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm afraid not... all the photographs I've uploaded to Wikipedia were actually taken with an old model Sony Handycam, so weren't high quality to begin with. Thanks though. -Dawson (talk) 19:54, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:Jeremy Wright.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Jeremy Wright.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Gary King (talk) 03:50, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
