File permission problem with File:BishopSlatteryCondemningHHSContraceptionMandate.png
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:BishopSlatteryCondemningHHSContraceptionMandate.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created 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 in|article name}} 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 on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 20:58, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
Replaceable fair use File:BishopSlatteryCondemningHHSContraceptionMandate.png
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:BishopSlatteryCondemningHHSContraceptionMandate.png. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template. - On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — ξxplicit 00:08, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

[edit]
Hello, I'm Elizium23. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Pope Pius IX without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!

Disambiguation link notification for March 7
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Last Roman Emperor, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page End of time (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Date format
[edit]I notice that some of your edits to articles on American politicians have included dates, and that you've used DMY format (e.g. "8 May 2014") instead of MDY ("May 8, 2014"). Per WP:STRONGNAT, we should be using the latter common American format for American subjects. Could I ask you to watch this in the future?
It's an easy error to make-- I've written several articles on Anthony Trollope novels, and in moments of incaution have slipped in dates in the American format. And, of course, no matter how many times I proofread, a "color" or a "favor" gets through. Ammodramus (talk) 02:17, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
Path modification to fix broken links
[edit]Dear Matthew,
In the write protected article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope Can you please fix the existing broken links in the External links https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope#External_links
Broken links
Origins of Peter as Pope The Authority of the Pope: Part I The Authority of the Pope: Part II The correct links are listed below http://www.catholic.com/tracts/origins-of-peter-as-pope http://www.catholic.com/tracts/the-authority-of-the-pope-part-i http://www.catholic.com/tracts/the-authority-of-the-pope-part-ii End of correction
Please also review my article which includes solid references to scriptures and vast compelling references to the early church all before 400AD.

Please include this in the external links page.
Fyi, I am a practicing Catholic and believe that the Catholic Church is the pillar and foundation of the Truth. Likewise I wasn't raised a Catholic, but instead at the age of 17 (21 years ago) I decided I wanted to be baptized and give my heart to God. I prayed and studied scripture and meet with different groups including the Jehovah Witnesses. I strongly felt God calling me to the ultimate altar call to receive him, body blood soul and divinity in the Eucharist, I studied for one full year under the parih priest Father Patrick Kennedy. I now go to both traditional Latin and English masses. I subject myself to the authority of the Church and i'm very proud to be a Catholic. It is my goal to create greater unity between Protestants and Catholics by clearing up the misunderstanding that the Protestants have regarding the Catholic teachings. My main focus is reaching cults who deny Jesus as their Lord and Savior. I aman expert in the doctrine of the Trinity and by the grace of God have been used to lead people from cults into the safe arms of our Lord Jesus Christ. Praise be to his Holy name now and forever.

Vannozza dei Cattanei, Choice of Sources and NPOV
[edit]Hello, and thank you for your recent contributions to Vannozza dei Cattanei. When quoting sources, consider what sources they cite. Also consider whether they represent the current scholarly consensus, a substantial minority position, or something on the extreme fringe. To ensure a neutral point of view, articles must not give particular viewpoints undue weight. A viewpoint held by a tiny minority doesn't belong in Wikipedia.
The sentence "Pope Leo X in this way recognised Vannozza either as the widow of Alexander VI or as the mother of the Duchess of Ferrara." is controversial, published though it may have been, because it's the only explanation given in the article for the style of her funeral, but other explanations (such as the scale of her gifts to the Church) may be more widely accepted by scholars today. I've left the sentence alone because I don't have time right now to improve the section, but it does need improvement.
I've reverted the edit that added:
Frederick Rolfe wrote: "Nothing is known against the character of Madonna Giovanna de' Catanei except that she was the mistress, first of Cardinal Giuliano della Rovere, second of Cardinal Rodrigo de Lancol y Borja."[1]
because, although it has been claimed that she was the mistress of Cardinal Giuliano della Rovere, that is a view held by only a tiny minority of authors. Consider, in contrast, Gregorovius (1904), Burchard (1910 translation), Villari (1911), Sabatini (1912), Durant (1953), Erlanger (1978), Zapperi (1979), Johnson (1981), Cloulas (1993), Locklin (2000), New Catholic Encyclopedia: BORGIA (BORJA) (2003), Bradford (2004), Hibbert (2008), and Strathern (2009). Rolfe is notoriously outside the mainstream. Worldbruce (talk) 18:00, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
