Thanks! What made you pick me to ask for help?

Here is a spot where I found an image that might have David Bethea in it. Conflicting things about the copyright status of the image. MonkeyBBGB (talk) 01:16, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I saw some of your work on articles and read your userpage. FloridaArmy (talk) 03:04, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeas and Nays

Hi! I just wanted to point out for the future that the archaic term for a yes vote in the US is spelled "yea", not "yay" (as it’s pronounced).

Keep up the good work!

Cheers, RadioactiveBoulevardier (talk) 00:09, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Good to know. I’ve been thinking about simplifying the past map I made. So I might take this as my impetus to do so. MonkeyBBGB (talk) 00:11, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Revert

Hello. I was working on Mike Johnson (Louisiana politician) and due to the large amount of vandalism I mistakenly revented one of your edits. I'm sorry and I was able fixed the revert and it should be back to normal. Once again sorry and if you have any questions please ask. Thank you LuxembourgLover (talk) 19:51, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Which edit did you undo? I added a commons box but I don’t see it on there anymore. I’m on mobile currently so I can’t add it back. I’d like to have the commons box since I’m a commons editor mostly, and I’ve been adding lots of stuff on Johnson this afternoon. I believe he will likely get a lot more attention now as Speaker so it feels relevant to have. SDudley (talk) 19:53, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted this edit. I saw a user remove a large part of the article and I miss clicked on your edit and reverted it. LuxembourgLover (talk) 20:02, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thanks! Looks like it was you who removed the box. It seems to still be gone. So someone else must have removed it. I'll see if I can add it back once the mass editing lessens. SDudley (talk) 20:27, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Check this out

I hope it makes the article better :> Kazachstanski nygus (talk) 23:59, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! That looks really cool. I love that Oswald pose. The issue I have with the page is trying to get the lists to be formatted further down the page so that the shorts won't look so tiny. SDudley (talk) 00:00, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm not a technical guy so can't really help with formatting, sorry :< Kazachstanski nygus (talk) 00:36, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My Man Godfrey (1957 film)

Why did you add to the lead of My Man Godfrey (1957 film) that its copyright was renewed? I don't see anything about it being in the public domain. Why is the copyright renewal worthy of mention at all? -- Pemilligan (talk) 15:01, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The original film from the 1930s is public domain, while still under an indirect copyright restriction as derivative of a still copyrighted work. It felt important to note that this later adaptation was still under copyright in comparison to the original. SDudley (talk) 15:03, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stating that directly might make more sense. The current wording is puzzling. -- Pemilligan (talk) 15:13, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can fix it. Thank you for the note! I appreciate this :) SDudley (talk) 15:14, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit on And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street.

To let you know that your statement on And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street entering public domain has been removed. I’ve already got worded on one of my edits by using the similar statement and I’m gonna have to inform you that nobody will be allowed to insert this statement on any pages of Wikipedia unless it’s confirmed in a period of time and is sourced. Just trust me on this. Retrosunshine2006 talk 18:04, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Thank you. I can add in some sourcing if needed. Or I’m fine to just wait to have it be noted again at a later point. As a very prominent work from 1937 that isn’t in active publication now I figured it was noteworthy to identify when it could be published again by just anyone.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Dune Part Two Popcorn Bucket.webp

Thank you for uploading File:Dune Part Two Popcorn Bucket.webp. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Cryptic 16:26, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
