License tagging for Image:Laudonas pagasts.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Laudonas pagasts.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 18:11, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Straupe

A tag has been placed on Straupe requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 (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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Lordjeff06 (talk) 09:24, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Jersika.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Jersika.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, 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.

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 14:29, 31 January 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey (talk) 14:29, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Latvian constitutional referendum, 2012, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Russian (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.

May 2012

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Latvian financial crisis (2008– ) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Accuracy of Latvian mythology

Hello, Pirags! :)

I stumbled upon Latvian mythology because its accuracy was disputed and in the discussion on the talk page there, it was mentioned that you might be able to help us.

For example, we are looking for someone who might have knowledge relevant to the topic to be able to skim through the article and tag the most inaccurate parts with {{citation needed}} tags. That would be a good starting point for us to find ways to improve the article from its current state.

If you are interested in helping out, we would greatly value your input and opinion on Talk:Latvian_mythology#Inaccurate_information.

The article as it is needs a lot of work: it has no sources for its content, it is factually disputed, and it is in sore need of an expert's attention. If you could help out at all, even in a small way, we would all be grateful for your improvements to the article and discussion.

Thanks, Matt (talk) 21:32, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
