[edit] Book categories

Greetings, Terrillwhite. I have removed Where the Red Fern Grows from the category 1961 books into which you had placed it. In general, an article doesn't been to go in both one category and its subcategory (see Categorization guidelines); 1961 novels are already encompassed by 1961 books, so putting it also in the books category would be redundant.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Michaepose.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Michaepose.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may 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. feydey 10:47, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Samuel Worcester

Hi, I am author of "New Echota" and other articles of Wikipedia and soon-to-be-author of "Cherokee Millionaire and his son". You can check me by User:Cculber007. I was going to work on Samuel Worcester but it looks you beat me to it. I added references (required by Wikipedia policy), legal pictures, and others. I have more information which I will add later. I have a lot of research papers from New Echota where I lived about 2 miles away from. They have original diary of Samuel Worcester and original letter of his descendant from Oklahoma. I hope you do not mind if I being co-author of your article. I have a lot of information including his family and Cherokees. You forgot about important two cases that Worcester was involved. I need to let you know that Native Americans dislike the word "Indian" after they blamed Christopher Columbus named after Indians who are really from India so do not use that word too many. I am 1/3 of Creek Indians. Yeah Cherokees hate Creeks as much as Georgia took the lands of Creeks. I wrote Georgia Land Lottery about that.I am still working on Chief Vann House, Rome, Georgia, and others. Martha Berry museum asked me to do few articles for Berry College, Berry Museum/Oak Hill, and others so I will be busy. My pictures I made for New Echota has been copied to Poland and Wikipedia's Native American system. I hope I don't be too much famous by Wikipedia. Cculber007 10:03, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Advice about this Talk issue

I notice you keep removing comments like I did few years ago. One of moderators (Admins) who runs Wikipedia warned me but they suggested me to move all coments to other page called talk archive (see Talk Archive). They wanted to keep comments. I restored comments from "history" on headline of Wikipedia and moved to my new page called Culby's Talk Archive). . There is a copy of the message from them - "Removing comments from talk pages. Please note that it is considered bad form to remove content from your talk page. If it is getting too long, you can move the old comments to an archive but you should never blank them, as it may be construed as trying to hide or avoid criticism. Stifle 15:44, 17 February 2006 (UTC)". You can create new page by press "move" the page then add link to "TerrillWhite's Talk Archive" A lot of experience Wikipedians did. We have to follow their policy. If you need my help to restore comments, let me know. Do me favor? Will you go to "E-mail this user" on left (bottom) box when you are in my talk page because I have many issues to discuss about Cherokees and Creeks. When you press that "E-mail this user", it will automatically send to my real email. I know you have not set up your email perference yet. I thought it will be much easy to save time and Wikipedia's space. I only do for New Echota and others that are in Georgia but I need more answers from Oklahoma and Cherokees. I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you for comment. New Echota staff were very helpful to me with my research. One of them is Cherokee. I hope I help you with some friendly advices. Let me know if you need a help. "Cherokees and Creeks are friends together as they used to be live in Georgia before the Europeans came." I hope I have time to update articles including Samuel Worcester and create my userbox for my user page. Cculber007 15:13, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] John Stamos

Please don't replace cc-licensed photos with fair-use ones. Thanks! —Chowbok 20:26, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:05John Stamos.jpg)

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:05John Stamos.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is 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.

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 01:14, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:100 1557.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:100 1557.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:

Wikipedia:Image use policy Wikipedia:Image copyright tags 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. 11:04, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Promptly changed this. Somehow I forgot to add the licensing to it when I added it. I personally took this picture. T. White 13:27, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Muckleshoot Indian Casino

Go ahead with the merge from Muckleshoot Indian Casino to Muckleshoot if you wish - no argument from me. yalbik 19:52, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] kahneeta

If you've been there, (which i'm assuming you have) yu would notice the warm springs reservation is a huge desert and kahneeta is in the middle of nowhere. It should get a rewrite though. There was some lady user that works a lot on Oregon articles, if you look in the page history ask her what to do. I'm not an expert in the field. Thanks for asking though. Also, its better to put messages at the bottom of my talk page, because I never check the top, except when archiving.Bakaman Bakatalk 05:11, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] nice mess u made kid

re yr funny little game with Roger Bennett: 1st u don't just randomly stuff around by moving already existing pages like that: what u should have done is created a proper disambiguation page, linking ur original page & ur oh so important musician 2nd as it is, u haven't even cleaned up, could u please fix the page u moved, (it isn't a disambiguation page) & then fix up all the hanging links u left (it isn't enough to have them pointing to the current disambiguation page) & fix up the mess with the two talk pages thnx heaps kid, pls learn some mannersBsnowball 19:51, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] moving

maybe i got carried away, but i think what u did was a little rude for future reference please do not undo moves by copying & pasting like that, it gets rid of the edit history, or leaves it at another page. sorry about going off Bsnowball 10:43, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Helping out with the Unassessed Wikipedia Biographies

Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of [unassessed articles] tagged with {{WPBiography}}. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article.

[edit] Your RfA

Sorry it didn't work out - as you can tell, RfA standards can be quite stringent. I hope this doesn't discourage you too much, as you're a good contributor. If you do wish to run for adminship in the future in order to help out, try participating in project space and vandal patrol. All the best, and if you have any questions, go ahead and ask me on my talkpage, I'll try my best to answer them. I'll try to notify someone to close your RfA properly. All the best, riana_dzasta 13:03, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, don't worry about it. Adminship is no big deal. Just because you didn't get promoted doesn't mean that you're contributions aren't appreciated. Have a look at the admin's reading list; it's what all admins need to know. Also try contributing at articles for deletion, miscellany for deletion, speedy deletion and if you vote on other people's requests for adminship's (or just read them if you don't want to vote) then you can see why people get turned down (or accepted). I hope that not being promoted hasn't discouraged you from editing. Try again in maybe 3-4 months, then your RFA is much more likely to succeed. You can ask me for help if you want, if I can't help I will make a bad joke to cover that up, and point you in the direction of someone who can. Well, have fun editing :), hope to see you round.

[edit] Singing Echos

Terrill Thanks for your edit of the Singing Echos. If you are going to be the editor of that page then we need to find cites for the content. If you could please cite the page it would be greatly appreciated. I have put cite tags near everything that needs to be cited. [1] If you need help, please let me know by leaving a message on my talk page. Thank you. Junebug52 5:10, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Terrill, thanks for your attention to the article. I appreciate the work you have done to cite the sources. I also see the e mail that you sent to the Singing Echoes. Be aware that we need to ask them if they have some factual proof of the items we need verified. We cannot just have them confirm the facts, we have to see the facts posted somewhere notable that we can use as a valid source. Again, if I can be of any assistance to you, please let me know. Don't worry about the ramblings, I live my life the way LOL. Junebug52 10:41, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Charlieodonnell.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Charlieodonnell.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.BetacommandBot 05:05, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.BetacommandBot 22:13, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
