Image copyright problem with Image:Oberlin Trio.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Oberlin Trio.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by STBotI. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 04:05, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I corrected this with the appropriate tags. Rodney Schmidt (talk) 03:04, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Double brackets and single brackets

I have seen a couple of the articles you have worked on and I wanted to make sure you were aware of the difference between [[double brackets]] and [single brackets] in editing Wikipedia.

[[Double brackets]] are used to link to other pages here on Wikipedia. For example, [[Chicago Symphony Orchestra]] produces a link to the Wikipedia page about the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

[Single brackets] are used to link to external pages outside Wikipedia. For example, [http://www.cso.org] produces an external link like this: [1]. You can put a description of the external link to get something other than just a number. For example, [http://www.cso.org the Chicago Symphony Orchestra] displays as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

If you put double brackets around an external link, you will wind up with an external link surrounded by brackets, which probably is not what you wanted. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:01, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you again. I am new at this and will check all single and double bracket tags ASAP. I do prefer the "Summary" section at the top if that is OK - it keeps the contents lined up with the photo. Thanks. Rodney Schmidt (talk) 03:04, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Toth Duo

A tag has been placed on Toth Duo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Ice Cold Beer (talk) 06:41, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

August 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Toth Duo, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Ice Cold Beer (talk) 06:44, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was creating the page at the same time that it was reviewed for "speedy deletion." I apologize - I am new to this but believe that this is an article of significance given the scarce availability of such "Duos" and the importance of the repertoire, as indicated by the recording of three 20th century masterworks. Thank you. Rodney Schmidt (talk) 07:31, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Proposed deletion of File:Trio150 91.jpg

The file File:Trio150 91.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Smaller/lower quality version of File:Trio350.jpg. No encyclopedic purpose to retaining both.

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 files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
