Martha O'Kennon moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Martha O'Kennon. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and only source is not independent and biographies of living people have high requirements. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Cleo Cooper (talk) 06:43, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you.

Please note that removing the banner will do nothing to stop the discussion; it will merely make it more difficult for interested editors to find out that a discussion is ongoing. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:55, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Single-Purpose User Accounts

Good day! Welcome to Wikipedia! As it appears that your edits are focused on Albion College, please take a moment to review the essay on Single-Purpose Accounts. So long as editors conduct themselves appropriately (e.g., by maintaining a neutral point of view and avoiding advocacy) focusing on a single topic is not necessarily discouraged. However, it is also important that editors declare any conflict of interest and avoid contributing to articles on subjects or topics with which they maintain close relations.

File copyright problem with File:CHP Observatory (Honors) 050.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:CHP Observatory (Honors) 050.jpg. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Vladlen Manilov ✉ / 19:00, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi Davidpgca. Thank you for your work on L. Wesley Underwood. Another editor, Ldm1954, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

The current version does not demonstrate notability. For this you need wider coverage than just where he worked. Without that this page may well be nominated for deletion.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Ldm1954}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

File permission problem with File:AC 8" Alvan Clark.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:AC 8" Alvan Clark.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 03:52, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of L. Wesley Underwood

The article L. Wesley Underwood has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Page contains 6 sources, but 5 of these do not verify the claims in the document and the other does not talk significantly about the subject. The only possible notability claim is the discovery of a star, but there is no verification of this and nothing in a search.

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}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

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