Next president fallacy

I think it's just a special case of other extant fallacies but in any case your article violated policies on original research and neologisms, the purported sources failed to mention the subject, and it gives every appearance of being what we term a "protologism" - that is, an attempt to coin a new term by inclusion in Wikipedia.

Thank you for uploading this media,

However, it would be nice if you could give some kind of indication as to what license the media is under. That way other people can be confident in making use of it for many varied purposes :)

Adding license information also helps prevent media you've put effort into creating from being deleted :)

You may wish to read Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags#For_image_creators which will assist you :)

Welcome

Hello Jimlech, and welcome to Wikipedia. I hope that you have enjoyed contributing and want to stick around. Here are some tips to help you get started:

• Learn the basics by reading the introduction and taking the tutorial.
• Remember to sign messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~) to automatically insert your username and the date.
• Enjoy editing to improve articles, but try to leave an edit summary to explain what you are doing.
• Create your first article using the Article Wizard to help avoid common mistakes, which may lead to article deletion.
• Although you don't need to be familiar with all of Wikipedia's policies, try to keep to the core principles and basic guidelines.
• When dealing with fellow Wikipedians, please remain polite, solve problems calmly, and remember that no-one is out to get you.
• Get involved with the community by joining a WikiProject.
• Make any test edits in the sandbox or click here and create a sandbox of your own.
• If you are having difficulty, consider finding a mentor to give you more personal advice.
• If in doubt, be bold. If you make a mistake, it can easily be reverted.

File:U.S. Distribution of SAT math and verbal scores 1972-2008.jpg a scan?

I've looked at the image, and it certainly looks like a scan. Also, it's strange that it's noted as figure one. If you scanned the image, you unfortunately do not hold the copyright to it, which is a common mistake many people make. Where did you obtain the image, so we can make sure it's under valid copyright status. Regards, NativeForeigner ^Talk/_Contribs 05:02, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the input, I do appreciate it. The picture is indeed a scan; I created the table myself with Microsoft Office 2007. I call it figure one, because that's how they tend to be referenced in academia. Moreover, others could input their graphs and there would be no confusion in the future. JL

I don't want to question what you're saying, but the image appears to be a scan at higher resolutions. Did you create the table with office, and then scan a copy of it? NativeForeigner ^Talk/_Contribs 22:53, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:U.S. distribution of SAT scores 1972-2008.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:U.S. distribution of SAT scores 1972-2008.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ww2censor (talk) 19:37, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
