License tagging for File:Striped smooth-hound.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Striped smooth-hound.jpg. 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) 16:31, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free rationale for File:Striped smooth-hound.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Striped smooth-hound.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free 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 in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Striped smooth-hound.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Striped smooth-hound.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. Thank you.

April 2019

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Common octopus, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Meters (talk) 19:04, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, from now on, I'll try to mark my edits if they're minor more now and I usually do anyway, but yeah, like I said, I'll try to mark them more, thanks. --Scrooosh (talk · contribs) 19:20, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And please don't remove links that simple need to be disambiguated [1]. While Pyxis ( "[[Pyxis]]" ) may be a constellation, the first line of the article links to the disambiguation page: "For other uses, see Pyxis (disambiguation)". That page shows that the desired article to use for Giant tortoise genus is Pyxis (genus). To display that link as Pyxis just pipe the link like this: "[[Pyxis (genus) | Pyxis]] " Meters (talk) 19:29, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to have misunderstood the minor edits notice. It's not asking to ensure that you mark minor edits as minor, It's asking younot to mark edits as minor unless they truly are minor. Your edits to Common octopus, were not minor. Meters (talk) 19:33, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I just found it unusual at first that the Pyxis genus which was on the Giant tortoise page redirected me to an article about a constellation, that being the reason as to why I didn't even know it was also a tortoise genus. About the minor edits thing, I get what you mean now. I thought you meant the exact opposite, but yeah, I was a bit confused before as to what counts as a minor edit and what doesn't, but you cleared that up for me now. I knew about the piped link thing from another encyclopedia I contributed to and I will add the Pyxis link back with the piped link to redirect to the tortoise genus, thanks. --Scrooosh (talk · contribs) 19:45, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, I noticed you added it back with the piped link. --Scrooosh (talk · contribs) 19:45, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, no, I wouldn't restore the wrong link and leave it for you to fix.

Here's the Wikipedia cheat sheet on markup H:CHEAT and a larger guide H:MARKUP Meters (talk) 20:07, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I know how piped links work, but I can understand if you didn't want to leave it for me. I mean I wasn't going to put the wrong link there, but okay.... --Scrooosh (talk · contribs) 13:15, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:Dragons-breath-pepper.jpg

If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Chocolate Bhutlah (May 15)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by RoySmith were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I'm not seeing anything here that makes me think this is notable. There's lots of cultivars of chilis. Not every one needs an article devoted to it. On a more technical note, avoid phrases like, "A few years ago". That won't have much meaning 10 or 20 years in the future. Be specific about the year.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Chocolate Bhutlah and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Chocolate Bhutlah, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Scrooosh! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

See you there! -- RoySmith (talk) 14:37, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
