File Copyright problem
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Tehachapi Wind Turbines 7-8-10.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely 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. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next 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 also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 17:29, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Previewing complex edits before saving

[edit]

I've just partially repaired an edit you made at 15:36, 2 August 2011 (UTC) to Sedona, Arizona, by removing the reference you gave for updated census data. Unfortunately, when you updated the 2007 data to 2010 data, you made some kind of error in citing your reference, resulting in a big, red error message splashed across the bottom of the article. Wikipedia does this to warn editors when they've made a serious error in complex templates like {{cite web}}, but it does no good unless the editors preview their edit before they save, or at least look at the article after saving it.

I tried to fix the multiple problems in your edit by going to what I could deduce of the incomplete URL in your citation, but I found – to no surprise – that this Census Bureau database interface has a learning curve I couldn't scale in short time I allowed for this drive-by edit. So I'm asking you here, and the community on the article's talk page, to try to replace the broken reference.

I commend your efforts to update city information in multiple articles, but as I can tell you from painful personal experience, it's essential that you preview your work any time you use templates. (In fact, it's always a good idea to preview, for several reasons, each one of which will cause you problems eventually if you edit enough.) Your contributions represent knowledge of information sources that most editors do not have, and it's lost when your edits don't produce the result you intended. So please preview before saving. Thank you. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:56, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You need to provide citations when you change an article

[edit]

Please remember to provide citations for the changes you make to articles. If you are unable to do this I ask that you refrain from changing the article. Also when you make a change, make sure to change other statements in the article as well. For instance when you changed the list of largest wind farms in the 'Wind Power in the United States' article, you didn't change the 'as of' date. You also did not provide a reference for the change.

Reference or citations can be tricky, especially in longer articles where a single reference may be used multiple times. If you add a new reference source, put it in a new <ref></ref> block. Do not change existing reference, unless you need to correct it. Add the name="...." attribute when the reference is used more than once in an article, but don't use a name that's already being used in the article. If a reference is no longer relevant to a paragraph, you should delete it. (Note that there is a Bot that will clean things up in a day or so if you happen to remove a named reference that is also cited in other portions of the article, but this works only if you do not re-use the same name for a new reference.)

You also have a bad habit of listing all (or nearly all) of your changes as minor changes, when many of them are not. A minor change is typically correcting grammar, spelling, article formatting, or minor rephrasing of a sentence. When you add new information or change information, it is not a minor change. Do not mark it as such. --71.38.170.232 (talk) 22:55, 11 November 2011 (UTC) (aka aflafla1)[reply]

Deletions

[edit]

Hello, I'm Tedickey. I noticed that you recently removed some content without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. TEDickey (talk) 22:01, 21 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Frederick, Maryland, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Episcopal and Brethren (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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of films of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Urbana Corporate Center moved to draftspace

[edit]

An article you recently created, Urbana Corporate Center, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ... discospinster talk 20:13, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:Urbana Corporate Center

[edit]

Information icon Hello, TomBrodshaw. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Urbana Corporate Center, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 21:02, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Urbana Corporate Center

[edit]

Hello, TomBrodshaw. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Urbana Corporate Center".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
