Lloyd Young

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Lloyd Young, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. —Wknight94 (talk) 16:10, 10 March 2007 (UTC) @wknight94: It has been over 10 years and his state and national records still stand.

Image copyright problem with Image:MensCircle Iogo.gif

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:MensCircle Iogo.gif. 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 image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 22:58, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:PCHS logo2.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:PCHS logo2.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 image 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 '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 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Unspecified source for Image:Voyageur2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Voyageur2.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:30, 23 December 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jusjih (talk) 22:30, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Helen J. Myers

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Helen J. Myers, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

Speedy deletion nomination of Nathan L. Johnson

A tag has been placed on Nathan L. Johnson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ttonyb1 (talk) 20:31, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Nathan Johnson (author)

A tag has been placed on Nathan Johnson (author), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay.

September 2009

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Nathan Johnson (author), you will be blocked from editing. This article was already deleted as a result of an AfD discussion. Re-creating it without a deletion review violates Wikipedia policy. Please stop posting articles about this non-notable person. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 02:53, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have strong reason to believe that you are Nathan Johnson, given the comments in image files uploaded on this account, and that you are persisting in posting articles about yourself. Please cease and desist right away, or risk being blocked. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 02:55, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Insight"

Wikipedia is not the place to offer others "inight into [your] life." We call that "self-promotion," and it is specifically and thoroughly prohibited at Wikipedia. You do not meet notability standards. Your claims of "notability" such as game show appearances and local theater are not even close to being enough to pass our notability standards. If you want to offer people "insight" into your life, your blog is sufficient and (I presume) reachable by a simple Google search. Plus there's always Facebook and Myspace. But stop promoting yourself here. If every little sports writer were notable, I'd have my own page already. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:11, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No. Pretty much anyone can claim to be a published author. I suggest you read over Wikipedia's standards for notability of people. That determines who's notable and who's not. But the big problem is that you're writing about yourself. You are promoting yourself, whether you claim to be or not. Wikipedia has a longstanding policy that strongly discourages autobiographies. In short, if you are notable, someone else needs to recognize that fact and write about you. By human nature, a person is not the best objective judge about one's own notability. And since you were not up front about the fact that you were writing about yourself, and referred to yourself in the third person in discussions about the article, plus that you, only admitted your identity when I discovered it through investigation, indicates a lack of acting in good faith. That is always a huge black mark against you with admins here.

And moreover, an article about you has already been deleted as a result of a formal article for deletion discussion, and our policies further stipulate that any article delted as a result of an AfD must go through the deletion review process first before it will be reconsidered, or otherwise it will face speedy-deletion every time the article is posted again, and those who post it will face being blocked. In light of all this working against you, my strong advice is to simply stop. Your article has already been formally deleted, you're writing about yourself, you weren't up front about your identity, getting through the DR process as yourself would be nearly impossible, and you just don't meet notability standards. That's four strikes against you. You keep saying your friends want there to be a resource about you on Wikipedia. That reminds me a bit of people who go to the doctor and say, "I have this 'friend'..." when they're really talking about themselves. Save your efforts for your blog. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 14:31, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a fairly new editor but have contributed a lot of material over the past few years. I certainly don't care to "promote" myself here but rather was trying to help others who have tried to setup my page in the past. I don't "claim" to be a published author. I am one. I will follow your advise, however, and not try again to setup my page. But, I can't guarantee that others will not try. Lastly, I wasn't trying to disguise the fact that I had written the article by any means. I simply didn't know how to set it up with my identity (other than john2690) showing. Any advise is appreciated. You've been helpful.

Again, unless your published works are with a well-known publisher and have been written about independently, they will not help you establish notability. As for others writing about you, if they are friends or business associates, they will still run afoul of conflict of interest guidelines. To sum it all up, Wikipedia takes a very, very dim view of people writing articles about themselves, their friends or their business associates, as the view they hold of the subject's notability is almost certain not to be objective. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 20:05, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Pinetech.png

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Pinetech.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. 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:Non-free content, 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 files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 04:06, 30 December 2009 (UTC).

Fair use rationale for File:Official Pine City Logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Official Pine City Logo.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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Moreover, you have applied an improper copyright license to the image. You have indicated it is in the public domain as a "work of the federal government," which it is obviously not. If you are claiming fair use, as the logo is likely the copyrighted property of the City of Pine City, then you must provide a fair use rationale. Otherwise, the image will be deleted. Thank you.

Better source request for File:Official Pine City Logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Official Pine City Logo.jpg. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

Orphaned non-free image File:Main GB w-tints -REDUCED.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Main GB w-tints -REDUCED.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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. However, please note that images 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 "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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk 06:40, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Christian Isackson

The article Christian Isackson has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Poorly referenced BLP article about a non-notable hockey player. Does not pass WP:NHOCKEY.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Pine City Horizontal Logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Pine City Horizontal Logo.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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:15, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Tommy Ryman Headshot.jpg

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 File:Tommy Ryman Headshot.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/glberg/uploads/2017-TommyRyman8x10.jpg?v=63670636332. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy 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 deleted 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. reddogsix (talk) 00:25, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition to East Central Minnesota has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder.

A page you created has been nominated for deletion as an attack page, according to section G10 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Do not create pages that attack, threaten, or disparage their subject or any other entity. Attack pages and files are not tolerated by Wikipedia, and users who create or add such material may be blocked from editing. Dom from Paris (talk) 10:48, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The article you created if more than borderline. You should not say in one breath that no charges were brought and then refer to "his victims". I have no opinion as to his guilt or not but this is in my opinion an unaccpetable way of writing the article. --Dom from Paris (talk) 10:52, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Louis Brouillard moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Louis Brouillard, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Dom from Paris (talk) 15:12, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Louis Brouillard has been accepted

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at Minnesota. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:07, 19 October 2018 (UTC)I won't make the reverted edit any longer. I just pinpointed the cities that were used, and there was dead space between the Twin Cities and Twin Ports, so Pine City seemed like a logical fit. Apparently, the source I used won't suffice. Thanks.[reply]

The source was fine. You added incorrect information. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:58, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strange. When I clicked on the source, those were the numbers.

With this edit, you added that in Pine City, Minnesota, the average daily minimum temperature in July is 59 degrees Fahrenheit; the average daily maximum temperature in January is 23 degrees Fahrenheit; and the average daily minimum temperature in January is 7 degrees Fahrenheit. You used this source to support your edit. The numbers you added were incorrect. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:20, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. I believe I fixed it now.

Speedy deletion nomination of Ronald J. Kubesh

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 Ronald J. Kubesh, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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 deleted 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.

Why

Are you recreating articles that have already been deleted? Ron Kubesh was deleted WP:Articles for deletion/Ron Kubesh over 5 years ago. I am about to seek out an administrator to possibly ban you for this and other disruptive behavior....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 23:17, 31 October 2018 (UTC) I appreciate you reviewing my contributions but I thought Ron Kubesh was deleted for lack of reference, not notability. Can you please inform me as to why?[reply]

This article was improved and referenced about a notable person. He was on a pro team, is that not worthy of a Wiki page? John2690-john2690 (talk) 23:17, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Read the AFD. Being on a pro football team but not playing a down doesn't make him notable. Stop being lazy and disruptive....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 23:28, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why didn't you recreate the article at Ron Kubesh? Was it not to have the former AFD be so obvious? I have a very long memory especially when it comes to your antics....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 23:30, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't realize this was an option. As you can sometimes tell, I'm learning and growing my Wikipedian skills all the time. I will know now to do so, if the article warrants recreation.— Preceding unsigned comment added by John2690-john2690 (talk • contribs)

The article was also misleading. It was determined at the last AFD that he never played a down in the NFL but you wrote the article saying he did. Read WP:DISRUPT....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 23:32, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just read (hadn't seen prior) - appears there may have been some missing data by the NFL for those seasons. I'll do more research. Meanwhile, let's keep the page as a stub, perhaps, so others can add to it appropriately.— Preceding unsigned comment added by John2690-john2690 (talk • contribs)

Ron Kubesh

William- The article says he played in the NFL for 1.5 years. It's not being lazy, nor disruptive, to state a fact. John2690-john2690 (talk) 23:30, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

He says he did. NFL.com and other reliable sources say he did not....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 23:33, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt anyone's contacted the NFL to get official word. I'll do some research - I've contacted the NFL and am awaiting their response.— Preceding unsigned comment added by John2690-john2690 (talk • contribs)

That would come under WP:OR and isn't acceptable. You need to sign and organize your postings too. BTW, I have reported you to an administrator....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 23:55, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Hunter Warner

The article Hunter Warner has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:NHOCKEY. Hasn't played in the NHL and hasn't played 200 AHL games.

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.

Hunter is entering his fourth season with the Iowa Wild now, having played 3 games in 2015-16; 52 in 2016-17; 37 in 2017-18; and 10 so far in 2018-19. He's on pace to play over 200 games in the AHL. If he doesn't, let's propose to delete it then. Otherwise, let's see what develops with this rising star.--John2690-john2690 (talk) 20:00, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm WilliamJE. Your recent edit to the page Pine City, Minnesota appears to have added incorrect information, so it has been removed for now.

Hunter Warner has never played for the Minnesota Wild. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 16:25, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Pine City, Minnesota, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 18:09, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Magnolia677, the source I cited was from the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe statutes. I don't see how that is unreliable. The Band used the Ojibwe native language to name all of the cities that have communities within its jurisdiction, i.e. Pine City, Sandstone, etc. Can you please expound upon your notion that it is an unreliable source? Are you versed in Ojibwe language?

The name you cite for Pine City is not once mentioned in the document....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 23:00, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@WilliamJE - The name is cited phonetically since it is an English written document. If you read the statutes, on Pg. 8, underneath "Designation of Band Districts", "District III", is the phonetic version of "Ne-zhingwaakokaag", spelled out "Ne-shi-gwa-go-gog".

Grand Casino Hinckley moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Grand Casino Hinckley, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. Currently, all provided sources with the exception of the GPS4593 site are affiliated with the subject, and the GPS source does not provide sufficient coverage to meet WP:ORGCRITE, the notability guideline for businesses. I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's notability guideline for businesses and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 00:15, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Vikings uniforms

I started a discussion at Talk:Minnesota Vikings more than three weeks ago and you still haven't responded. Please explain why any information regarding the team's uniform manufacturer is at all relevant. What did Penny Bryce even do? The team's jerseys are mass produced by Nike, so I'm guessing all she did was stitch the individual name plates on. – Pee Jay 15:46, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@John2690-john2690: Good job on this. I changed the article so it represents one casino. The other casino at Mille Laces could use an article. Thank you. AmericanAir88^(talk) 03:12, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Mnmonthlyad.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Mnmonthlyad.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 {{OTRS 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. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. 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. Jordan 1972 (talk) 21:39, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Old Pine City Aerial.JPG

Thank you for uploading File:Old Pine City Aerial.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.
