[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Portrait-with-2-pieces.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Portrait-with-2-pieces.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 06:12, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Lloyd Schermer

Hello – thanks for the message. I wikified this article in the middle of September 2007, and at the time it did not have a single third-party source for verification of the article's claims. Today, I added the EL you gave to the 'External links' section of the article.

When I edited the article, it was full of HTML and desperately needed to be copyedited, cleaned up, and wikified. It had no wikilinks to other Wikipedia articles, it was not formatted according to our Manual of Style and, until you provided this link I just added, it had no third-party sources to verify its claims.

I encourage you to improve the article with more and better reliable sources. Please become familiar with Wikipedia's Manual of Style, and use its guidelines for additions to the article. However, if you do not want your writing edited mercilessly, you should not submit it, because very few articles stay as they were first created. Happy editing – KrakatoaKatie 19:33, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
