Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the 
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put
{{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.Edits to 97th Operations Group
[edit]I have undone your good faith edits to the 97th Operations Group article. The 97th Bombardment Group and the 97th Bombardment Wing are two different units. They each have a Wikipedia article under their current names. Both were active between 1947 and 1952 and have been again since 1991. Confusing groups and wings with the same number is a common error with folks lacking intimate knowledge of 60 year old organizational actions, so no real problem.
If you have a source for the deployments of the 97th to Germany and Guam in the immediate post war era, it would be a good idea to cite it. --Lineagegeek (talk) 22:31, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:B-50 (1950s-Biggs AFB).jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:B-50 (1950s-Biggs AFB).jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.
.jpg&action=edit&redlink=1){kind=link}
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. Eeekster (talk) 21:40, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

YES! YES!!
Dear, Eeekster,
I just sent this message a few minutes ago to the "Media Copyright Questions page" when I realized what I had done...
Subject: How to Delete an Upload?
Dear Sirs,
I was trying to learn how to upload a photo. I thought that I was going to be doing such on my "Sandbox" page. The next thing I know is that I actually uploaded the photo to Wikipedia itself!
As I am not sure of copyright issues just yet regarding the photo, I need to find out how to delete my upload, please.
Again, I was just trying to learn how to upload, and not actually do it. I did look and look on the uploaded image page to see how I could undo what I did, but alas.
I'm so sorry to bother you with this.
Please advise. Thanks in advance!
Rob
The name of my image in my personal files is "B-50 (1950s-Biggs AFB) File:B-50 (1950s-Biggs AFB).jpg
(I did indeed "sign my post.")
So, yes, Eeekster, please feel free to delete my inadvertent upload. Again, I'm so sorry to bother you.
Rob

Disambiguation link notification for December 16
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 305th Operations Group, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Glen Edwards. 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.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:14, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
DPL bot -- real or unreal?
[edit]Hi, BeatlesVox,
thanks for writing! Well, ...sincere or smart? ...tongue-in-cheek, perhaps [sorry, if I "sounded" smart!]. I received the same "Disambiguation link notification" from DPL bot and was about to answer and explain that I corrected my mistake already. So I visited DPL bot's talk page where I found your letter and several others all from this week. I checked "bot" then and found this: "An Internet bot, also known as web robot, WWW robot or simply bot, is a software application that runs automated tasks over the Internet. Typically, bots perform tasks that are both simple and structurally repetitive, at a much higher rate than would be possible for a human alone." So..., there we are, poor humans... (at least I did read your letter and I am still somewhat human)

[edit]Hi. Thanks for your message.
Yes, by "trivial" I meant "(very) easy". I guess that's jargon I got used to using at work And yes, by "registered" I meant having an account, though probably saying "auto-confirmed" would have been more accurate. As far as I can tell, uploading a picture is like creating or renaming an article or editing a semi-protected article. My way of ducking responsibility, since I'm editing from an unregistered (and even worse, dynamic) IP address. But I should think you'd be fine. Best of luck, and Merry Christmas to you too.
(BTW, just a reminder that if you do upload a flipped version, you should probably rearrange the page a bit, since WP:IMAGE discourages having the image subjects face off-page.) 2600:1006:B12C:7156:5AD:4287:E314:1B02 (talk) 06:28, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

[edit]You're welcome for the fix. The thumbnail is actually correct in the Wikipedia server. What you are seeing is the thumbnail stored in your computer's cache. If you reload the image file's host page it should display correctly (as it does on my machine). If not then clear your machine's cache and load the page again and it should load the new thumbnail.

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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:05, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
Season's Greetings
[edit]
To You and Yours!
