License tagging for Image:Aquilegia canadensis flower close-up.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Aquilegia canadensis flower close-up.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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. 17:06, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, you wrote on the image description page, "This image may be used for educational purposes so long as a photo credit is given. Please contact me if you wish to use it for a non-educational purpose." Unfortunately, this is not a free license and this image may not be used on Wikipedia except under fair use conditions, and given our fair use criteria, we would not be able to use it at all. If you are unwilling to release it to the public domain or use a Creative Commons License (Attribution or Attribution-ShareAlike only), then I will have to reluctantly nominate it for deletion. Regards, howch e ng {chat} 16:38, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For example, I can easily replace your wonderful image with a free use one from [1], but I like yours better. Thanks. howch e ng {chat} 16:40, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

External links

Thanks for all of your contributions. It looks like you have really been helpful to the quality related articles. I noticed that you have used http://qualitygurus.com/ as a reference or external link a few times. Every article I have ever found on this website is a direct copy and paste from another website. It may be a convient source, but I'd suggest tracking down the original information when possible (usually pretty easy to do since the website often cites where the material was copied from.) Good luck. Nposs 03:26, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

IoC and XSL

Hi, could you perhaps clear up your mention of XSL you give in See Also? It seems interesting, but is really hard to parse in its current form. mathrick 22:18, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Backbone.js

I noticed your edit to Backbone.js and your comment about how little third-party information is available. That's why I redirected it to DocumentCloud#Open_Source_Software: because I was unable to locate any coverage in reliable, secondary sources. Wikipedia is not a publisher of original information, in fact everything needs to be verifiable in other, published sources. If none exists, it doesn't belong in an encyclopedia yet. – Pnm (talk) 17:54, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, you are fast. Redirecting it to DocumentCloud was a clever temporary way around the deletion issue. I can see that you are following the rules that make Wikipedia great and that you are not being malicious. But I am also convinced that Backbone.js is playing a significant, though hard-to-see part in shaping cutting-edge web applications right now. I know you have no reason to believe me, but I've never actually used Backbone.js, nor am I involved in any way in its development, nor am I aware of any other tie to Backbone.js other than being a web application programmer who feels it's his job to know about these things.

I used the Save button instead of the Preview button a few times while I was slowly making my changes. I think I must have been adding references to 3rd party published sources as you suggested while you were writing this comment. I hope you find it suitable now, though it's no work of art. If you wait a few days before deleting it again or turning it into a redirect, I hope to find more sources as I continue learning more about this technology. I know of at least one other source that I couldn't find today.--GlenPeterson (talk) 18:30, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A page you started has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating Castilleja coccinea, GlenPeterson!

Wikipedia editor I dream of horses just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Nice article!

To reply, leave a comment on I dream of horses's talk page.

Learn more about page curation.

Nice work, I like it too. I did a few little formatting fixes, but it's a nice botanical article. Would you be interested in writing more? Choess (talk) 17:58, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Sorry for delayed response

I've been away from the internet and it took me some time to figure out what you were talking about. However, I checked back on my actions of last September and it appears I was referring to an article about Gavin King (Developer) which you created and I deleted. So the quick-and-dirty thing was a red herring. Sorry for any confusion. Deb (talk) 12:07, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Gavin King (Developer) (June 6)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Primefac was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing, so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia.
What you can do: Add citations (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners) to secondary reliable sources that are entirely independent of the subject.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Gavin King (Developer) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Speedy deletion nomination of Hoshin Kanri

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Hoshin Kanri requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.qualitydigest.com/magazine/1997/may/article/strategic-planning-hoshin-process.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
