Levine

Cool what u did for Sela ... can you do that as well for Jesse Levine? Tx.--Epeefleche (talk) 21:55, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent! tx.--Epeefleche (talk) 00:33, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On Jesse, I thought that it was a subset of the prior title ... hence my making it a subtitle ... no? --Epeefleche (talk) 02:40, 6 December 2007 (UTC)—Preceding unsigned comment added by Epeefleche (talk [reply]

Image uploads

Hi. Several of your image uploads from the National Governor's Association are problematic. On the image description pages for these images, you said that they were public domain because the National Governors Association is a federally funded organization. The NGA's own website, though, asserts copyright. If the NGA were a department or agency of the federal government, that would be one thing, but simply receiving federal funds doesn't make their works public domain. Most of the images are official state photographs and not actually owned by the NGA anyway - the respective state governments own the copyright of those photos. (State government works are not public domain.) --B (talk) 22:57, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What you may be able to do is show that these images are press or publicity photos, that have been freely circulated by the original copyright holder (presumably the individual governors, not the NGA), without express reservation of copyright. This has been held to constitute a release of the copyright to the public domain. see, Milton H. Greene Archives, Inc. v. BPI Commc'ns, Inc., 378 F.Supp.2d 1189, 1199-1200 (C.D. Cal. 2005)(movie publicity photos of Marilyn Monroe thus circulated by publicists held to be released to public domain). D. Nimmer, 4 Nimmer on Copyright § 13.06 (2008). You would probably need to do a Google image search to locate other sites where the photo had been published without reservation of the photo copyright. (A website's copyright, or reservation thereof, is irrelevant, unless the website rightholder also happens to be the original copyright holder of the image.)

Election result maps

Kudos and props for your upload of maps showing county-level results of statewide elections, such as 02ALgovernorcounties.PNG . With respect to that one map, there is, however, a minor error. Madison County (of the two currently red counties along the northern border of the state, it's the one on the right) was narrowly carried by Siegelman, by 42,712 to 42,345 for Riley, so it should be blue. You appear to have done a lot of research, but if you need a quick refer, the certified numbers in Excel format are available from the Secretary of State here. Since Madison is one of the most populous counties in Alabama, and the election was close, you may want to fix it. I didn't see any other problems from my memory of the results.

File:02GASenateCounties.PNG is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:02GASenateCounties.PNG. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:02GASenateCounties.PNG]].

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Tennisace101! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 139 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

DYK for Death and state funeral of Nelson Mandela

On 12 January 2014, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Death and state funeral of Nelson Mandela, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the sign language interpreter for the state memorial service of Nelson Mandela made meaningless hand gestures that did not reflect established signs? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Wikicode for italics

Hi Tennisace. I noticed that you used the <i> coding to create italics on Template:Estonian elections. You can do this more easily by using wikicode – all you need is '' before and after the text you want to italicise. Cheers, Number 5 7 22:02, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for November 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Namibian general election, 2014, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rally for Democracy and Progress. 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.

ISIS Timeline article

Please convert to the standard Wikipedia format the bare URL footnotes you appended to your edit using the following instructions.

Composing footnotes using the WP cite templates

(Summary of WP:FOOTNOTES section 3.1.)

Please note that bare URL footnotes – i.e. footnotes that contain only the website http address – are susceptible to link-rot, which means that if the website moves to a new domain with a new URL, the link will be broken and readers will be unable to read the citation.

First put the cursor at the point in the edit text where you want the footnote to go, then click "Cite" in the edit strip at the top of the Edit Page, then click "Templates" on the left, and a drop-down menu appears.
Choose "cite web" or "cite news" (for articles and websites), "cite book" or "cite journal", click and a box comes up.
Fill in the all details of the citation, then click "Preview" and "Show parsed preview" to see it looks right. (To correct anything, correct the box entries, then click the two "Previews" again.) In "cite book" remember to add the page number(s) of the book.
Click "Insert" and the citation automatically goes into the edit text. (It may not go in at the exact point where the cursor is if you use Firefox or Chrome.)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work.

To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Drchriswilliams (talk) 17:18, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
