Orphaned non-free media (File:Elmer A. Benson.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Elmer A. Benson.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. BJBot (talk) 05:25, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with File:Andresen.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Andresen.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Fair use rationale for File:Ambrose Tighe.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Ambrose Tighe.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file 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 file 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 'file' 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 "File" 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. — neuro^(talk) 20:34, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Moving articles

Greetings. I see that you moved United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin to U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, and several other district court articles similarly. I'm not sure that's a good idea. We tend to write out the full name in articles on Wikipedia, and U.S. is rarely abbreviated in titles. Also, I thought I'd let you know about Wikipedia:WikiProject United States courts and judges, a project where several of us collaborate on topics related to federal courts and federal judges. We could certainly use your experience and expertise. (By the way, you don't deal in international copyright law, do you?) All the best, – Quadell ^(talk) 20:26, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:St. Paul College of Law.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:St. Paul College of Law.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 16:07, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Hornbook -- a new WP:Law task force for the J.D. curriculum

Hi Adanielch,

I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in United States legal articles to take a look at WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".

Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.

Each casebook will have a subpage.

Over the course of a semester, each subpage will shift its focus to track the unfolding curriculum(s) for classes using that casebook around the country.
It will also feature an extensive, hyperlinked "index" or "outline" to that casebook, pointing to pages, headers, or {{anchors}} in Wikipedia (example).
Individual law schools can freely adapt our casebook outlines to the idiosyncratic curriculum devised by each individual professor.

I'm encouraging law students around the country to create local chapters of the club I'm starting at my own law school, "Student WP:Hornbook Editors". Using WP:Hornbook as our headquarters, we're hoping to create a study group so inclusive that nobody will dare not join.

What you can do now:

1. Add WP:Hornbook to your watchlist, {{User Hornbook}} to your userpage, and ~~~~ to Wikipedia:Hornbook/participants.

2. If you're a law student,

Email http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Hornbook to your classmates, and tell them to do the same.
Contact me directly via talk page or email about coordinating a chapter of "Student WP:Hornbook Editors" at your own school.

(You don't have to start the club, or even be involved in it; just help direct me to someone who might.)

3. Introduce yourself to me. Law editors on Wikipedia are a scarce commodity. Do knock on my talk page if there's an article you'd like help on.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Adanielch! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 3 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 178 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Paul A. Magnuson - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Esther Tomljanovich - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Rosalie E. Wahl - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

William Mitchell College of Law

May I ask why you removed the unreferenced section tag from the Alumni list at William Mitchell College of Law? The section does not list any sources, where WP:NLIST requires a source for each and every member in a list of people. Am I missing something? For now I restored the tag.--Muhandes (talk) 20:25, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it because it's not common practice to cite sources for each alumnus/a in articles on academic institutions. None of the other law schools in the state of Minnesota do it. Harvard, Yale, and Michigan Law Schools don't do it either. Even undergraduate institutions don't do it. Frankly, the policy is cumbersome in practice and should probably be changed. However, if you'd like to add the unreferenced section tag to all other academic alumni lists, be my guest--it might take you a while. Adanielch (talk) 18:22, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, many (I'd guess most) articles ignore this policy. But think about it, if you add someone to the list it claims something about him, and claims, especially about people, should be verifiable. I don't see it as my mission in life to tag every school ignoring this (like you said, it will take a while), but I add tags when I deal with the article due to another reason and I notice it (as you mentioned the other two law schools in Minnesota I tagged them as well). If you think the policy should be changed, go ahead and discuss it. --Muhandes (talk) 19:04, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what to think now. I pointed you at the relevant policy, WP:NLIST, and let me quote from it: "every entry in any such list requires a reliable source attesting to the fact that the named person is a member of the listed group." It can't be clearer then this. Yet you choose to ignore it without even leaving an edit summary. What should I do, start escalating warnings? You seem like a grown up, this is not becoming. If you think a policy is inappropriate, you are free to argue it, on the policy's talk page. If you think it should not be applied to the specific article from some reason I cannot fathom, discuss it on the article's talk page. Lets not make this into a revert war. --Muhandes (talk) 12:41, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I'm confused too--you removed SEVERAL entries for notable alumni of the school a few months ago, and when I re-inserted SOME of them with independent source verification, you still aren't satisfied. I can see two concerns that you might have. First, that somehow these people don't meet the criteria for notability. But as we can both see from WP:NLIST, the test for determining notability is subjective, not objective. (Regardless, all of the entries I reinserted satisfy the subjective test.) Second, that not every other entry in the list was cited too. Quite frankly, I didn't have the time at the exact moment of my editing to hunt down the sources I needed, and I assumed that because you left them on the page back in September, finding citations for them wasn't as urgent. I'm not interested in a revert war either, so can you please explain the problem? As far as I can see, my edits are valid. Adanielch (talk) 17:32, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I wasn't clear. There are two concerns WP:NLIST raises. One is notability, and the second is sourcing. Notability is usually established by having an article. Though this is not strictly required, I don't have a better idea of how one could show sufficient coverage. I removed some members since they had no article - hence notability was not established. Generally I'd say write the article first, i.e. if the person is notable, write an article about them. If not, they don't need to be mentioned just by association. But I'm not going to argue about notability. The second requirement is much simpler, and as three months have passed and sources were not added, all members without a source should/could be removed. I did not do this as I thought you were in the process of adding sources. So I was surprised you removed the tag without resolving the issue. So if we are in agreement, I will remove all members of the list without an article or a source to the talk page. If you think some of the ones without an article but with a source are especially notable and just don't have an article from some reason, say so in the talk page and add them back. Is that agreeable? --Muhandes (talk) 15:56, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of File:Mitchell in his Winona law office.JPG

The file File:Mitchell in his Winona law office.JPG has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unused, low-res, no obvious use

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
