GA reassessment of Peace Dollar

I have conducted a reassessment of the above article as part of the GA Sweeps process. I have found some concerns with the referencing which you can see at Talk:Peace Dollar/GA1. I have placed the article on hold whilst these are fixed. You are being informed as you rank highly on the list of editors for this article. Thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:56, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
I put another link to the 1921 D/S OMM Morgan Dollar, as it is not covered in VAMS. My link goes directly to the question about this 1921 D/S OMM dollar. Randall O

Stamp collecting

I think you were a bit harsh with the Learn About Stamps link. The website linked is actually pretty good, very relevant to the article and not commercial. I have to say that I think most readers of that article would find that link useful. Their method may have been a bit crass but on that particular page it is a good link. If I put it back, will you remove it again? (I am not connected with them). Thanks. Maidonian (talk) 16:41, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

If you want to condone spamming go right ahead, but I think it's ridiculous. The article was perfectly fine without it and it will continue to get along without it. I want no parts of allowing it. I can't believe you'll condone this type of behavior by allowing it, but remove perhaps the most important stamp organization in the US with no reason. Makes no sense. Bobby ^{I'm Here, Are You There?} 17:05, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Its only spam if it's junk. It's not junk. It doesn't matter that they are anon, or that the other edits were not as relevant, this particular edit was good. Also, this is the English language Wikipedia, not the American Wikipedia and APS have a whole article which is linked elsewhere in the Stamp Collecting article. Thanks. Maidonian (talk) 17:11, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

"Its only spam if it's junk." I hope you're not serious. If I come to your forum and post a link in every category to this site, is it spam? You bet your ass it is. Quality has nothing to do with it. Do what you want. I don't care. I fight this shit all day long guess one encouraged spammer won't make a difference. Bobby ^{I'm Here, Are You There?} 17:25, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

File source problem with File:1921 alabama centennial 2x2 closeup.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:1921 alabama centennial 2x2 closeup.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 website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:28, 1 May 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7.

banknotesinfo.com

I noticed your comment at User talk:Hu12. Unfortunately Hu12 is not currently active (see message at top of talk page), so I had a very quick look at the issue. While never anywhere near the capability of Hu12, I have done a fair bit of spam removal and I hope you don't mind if I offer some thoughts. You are correct that an SPA who comes here to add links to their favorite website is spamming, but some realism is required because some promotions are somewhat helpful to Wikipedia, while others are obviously junk. There are quite a lot of editors who would look very benignly on the banknotesinfo links because there is no obvious commercial promotion (when viewing the page with scripting off, I see no promos or ads or suggestions to buy anything), and the images are useful. My suggestion would be to raise borderline cases like this at a suitable noticeboard: WP:ELN for dubious links, or WP:COIN for conflict of interest (please, not both at the same time). May I also suggest that a better edit summary for this would be "unsourced" (see WP:VAN). Johnuniq (talk) 01:43, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

I've seen rampages like this way too many times. They pummel the site with "benign" links, then a month later when the dust settles the site is loaded up with adsense and amazon links. The guy has added like 30 links in a few hours and has done nothing else. I will continue to revert them. The edit you point out must have been a mistake on my part, I wouldn't have deliberately used that edit summary for that edit. Bobby ^{I'm Here, Are You There?} 01:56, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Liberty Cap Half Cent Link

Bobby, I know this is sort of advertising, but the page I am linking to has some really good information that would help a lot of people. After placing the links last night, a few people visited our site and browsed for over a half hour each, that is a good resource right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wickland (talk • contribs) 19:05, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

I would suggest that before doing any more editing you read the links posted in the warnings on your talk page to understand why your edits are being reverted. Bobby ^{I'm Here, Are You There?} 19:12, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Ok, this sounds fair enough. Please feel free to use this site as a reference in the future whenever you want! :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wickland (talk • contribs) 19:15, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

This image

I'm working to get Buffalo nickel to FA. Your image is good, but it needs you to add a creative commons license of your choosing. Since a coin is a three dimensional object, it needs a license both for the coin itself (it has that) and for the photo (it needs that). Many thanks.--Wehwalt (talk) 21:38, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Done. :-) Bobby ^{I'm Here, Are You There?} 21:56, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Panama-Pacific Exposition half dollar

Hi, Bobby. First of all, I'd like to thank you for all your numismatic-related contributions to Wikipedia. I'm pretty new here, but I've noticed that Wikipedia really needs a lot of numismatic information to get it up to par with some of the other topics that are covered here. Anyway, the reason for my posting here is to ask you for a small favor. I'm going to begin working on expanding coverage of classic United States commemorative coins. Since they're the lowest denomination, I'm beginning with the half dollars. The Columbian Exposition already has an article, but the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition half dollar does not. Could you please supply me with a photo of that issue, if you have one? I ask because you've added a lot of great commemorative coin images. Thank you for your time, and have a nice rest of the weekend!-RHM22 (talk) 22:03, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Weeeeeellllll.... give me a day. I have a very nice one marked as my own but I think it may be mislabeled. I have to make sure first. Bobby ^{I'm Here, Are You There?} 02:06, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Sure, take your time. I probably won't start the article for a few days anyway.-RHM22 (talk) 03:05, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Bobby, you are very welcome to get involved in our drive to improve the coin articles. Personally, I'm probably going to try to tweak Peace dollar and get it moving towards FA, now that Buffalo nickel is in the review process. I see you were involved in that article--Wehwalt (talk) 04:13, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Bobby. Just a quick note, but I've started the article on one of my user pages. Obviously it's not a regular article yet, but please feel free to edit it any way you see fit. As you can see, the article is just started, so it probably won't be finished for a couple of months as I gather information.-RHM22 (talk) 20:45, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Flowing Hair dollar

Hi Bobby. This a longshot, but would you happen to have any free use images of a Flowing Hair dollar? I overhauled the article, but now I need good images before I can do anything with it. Thanks!-RHM22 (talk) 16:14, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Well, sort of. I'll explain, then you tell me how we can handle it here. I have blanket permission to use ANY Brandon Kelly image anywhere I like as long as he gets a link. If you don't know who Brandon Kelly is.... shame on you. :-) He may be the best coin photographer on the planet. So how do we handle that? Do I upload it with a credit to him? http://www.coincommunity.info/coin/0100/1795-flowing-hair-dollar-3-leaves-NGC-AU50-ARC.jpg ... I have a bunch more of his locally too. :-) Bobby ^{I'm Here, Are You There?} 23:43, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Well, that is a little tricky. As you probably know, GA and FA standards are very stringent when it comes to images. In order for them to be used, special OTRS permission would probably have to obtained if Mr. Kelly didn't upload the images himself. I must confess, I don't know who he is! Does he own the Coin Community site or just the image? It doesn't matter if he owns the coin or not, because it's a work of the U.S. government. The only thing that matters is that he owns the photo itself. I'm uncertain that he would give the OTRS permission, because it explicitly states that if you give permission, anyone can use your images at any time for any reason, even commercially. If you think he would be ok with that, I could e-mail him the OTRS stuff. By the way, did you see the article? How do you like it? I'm attempting to upgrade all the dollar coin articles to GA or FA status. So far, I've completed Morgan dollar (current GA and FAC), Sacagawea dollar (GAN) and the Flowing Hair dollar article.-RHM22 (talk) 02:15, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Kennedy half dollar

Hi Bobby. Wehwalt and I have nominated Kennedy half dollar for FA, and one of the reviewers inquired about your heavily accented hair photo. He wanted to know if you have another photo of a 1964 proof half dollar without the accented hair for comparison. If you'd like, you can view his comments at FAC for Kennedy half dollar. Thanks!-RHM22 (talk) 19:35, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

I think what he really hopes for is a parallel shot, that is the same portion of the half without the accent.--Wehwalt (talk) 20:46, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Well, I can edit it to crop out the extra material if necessary.-RHM22 (talk) 20:55, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

I'm 7 1/2 hours out of town right now picking up an addition to our family, a 4 month old Havana Brown kitten. :-) The wife says that she believes she has some normal 64 proof photos on her computer though. Will be home Thursday. Bobby ^{I'm Here, Are You There?} 00:02, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Many thanks and congrats!--Wehwalt (talk) 01:12, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Sorry guys, no luck. :-( Bobby ^{I'm Here, Are You There?} 17:31, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

No problem! I have a '64 proof around somewhere, but it's still in the pliofilm, so I don't think the scan would be very good. Not to "pile on" the requests, but would you happen to have a photo or scan of a U.S. trade dollar? I overhauled the article, but the image that's already there is no good because someone just took it from a website.-RHM22 (talk) 20:43, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi Bobby. I was just wondering if you had a photo of a "small eagle" reverse Draped Bust dollar? That's going to be my next article. I noticed you added the photo of the "heraldic" type dollar that is currently being used. By the way, Kennedy half dollar was promoted to FA!-RHM22 (talk) 20:00, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Yes, thanks for your help on that. When you get a chance, you have I think three images in Peace dollar. They need templates from you saying you took them, just anticipating the FAC!--Wehwalt (talk) 10:56, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

I saw 2 and fixed them, seems the mint mark closeup is no longer there. Will look for the small eagle today. Bobby ^{I'm Here, Are You There?} 14:49, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Could you do that one anyway, I think I'll put it back, it would be useful next to mintage figures.--Wehwalt (talk) 17:01, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Done. Bobby ^{I'm Here, Are You There?} 17:20, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Restored. Many thanks.--Wehwalt (talk) 17:37, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I was the one that removed your mintmark image when I removed part of the collecting section. It goes nicely in the mintage figures section!-RHM22 (talk) 18:16, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Can you do the same on the Franklin half dollar images? Also, do you have anything else on that one? A Bugs Bunny 1955, or detail showing mintmark? Sorry to keep you busy but RHM22 and I are determined to bring coin coverage on the wiki up to where it should be!--Wehwalt (talk) 21:17, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Yup. I'm sure we can all agree that when there are more featured articles about Family Guy episodes than coins, something needs to be done to improve the articles!-RHM22 (talk) 03:06, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Not to bother you, but I wanted to let you know of something I discovered. You've uploaded the photos to the Draped Bust dollar article, but they have a PD tag attached. I know you usually use the CC-BY-SA license for your images, so I wanted to make sure that someone didn't apply the PD tag by mistake. If so, you should replace it immediately, because anyone can use the image for any purpose without giving you credit if you leave it as is. Just thought you might want to know about that.-RHM22 (talk) 17:10, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Got a Bugs Bunny on the way, should have pics next week. Bobby ^{I'm Here, Are You There?} 13:47, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Excellent, thank you. Also Jefferson nickel is more or less done, if you could check images. Trying to build up some articles in reserve so FAC won't feel neglected anytime soon ...--Wehwalt (talk) 14:10, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Great! I'll add that when I get some time. How are you on Mercury dimes? I'm presently working on that in my sandbox.--Wehwalt (talk) 21:38, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

I have some Mercury dimes I could scan if needed, though they certainly are not as nice as Bobby's coins.-RHM22 (talk) 22:16, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

None of the Mercury dimes imaged at Commons is properly licensed or likely to be. Just from commercial website and a dubious sourcing to the Mint. I'd be grateful if someone would upload a set.--Wehwalt (talk) 00:11, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

That's a lovely coin! Is it a proof?-RHM22 (talk) 18:24, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Sigh. Images like that make you want to give up modern conveniences like the internet and go live in the era of classic coins. Thanks.--Wehwalt (talk) 18:41, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

You're the man! Do you have an image of the reverse of a war nickel? There is only one on commons and the license is no good.--Wehwalt (talk) 00:13, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Fresh from last week, [3] [4] Bobby ^{I'm Here, Are You There?} 01:00, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

After years of just seeing ugly blackish war nickels pulled from circulation, that is a beautiful sight to behold.--Wehwalt (talk) 17:20, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Bobby, could you by any chance do images of the Mercury dime 1942/41, and perhaps a comparison of the 1945 micro S versus one of the larger S's (that also obviates the need for a mintmark location image)? Many thanks for whatever you happen to be able to do, I've given you an unrealistic wish list!--Wehwalt (talk) 16:44, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Heading out of town for a few days but will look into it when I get back. Bobby ^{I'm Here, Are You There?} 16:59, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Could you also please add licensing information to the infobox images at Seated Liberty dollar? I finished my overhaul of the article some time ago, and I would like to nominate it for FAC soon. Thanks!-RHM22 (talk) 22:09, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

American Gold Eagles

Bobby131313 -- Is there any particular reason why you keep reverting my additions (re: minting info) to the Gold Eagle page? --MickF.

Yes, as clearly stated in the edit summary, it is not a valid reference. It's clearly blog thrown up to attract Adsense and afflliate clicks. On a side note, you're copying from it word for word which is copyright violation. That info is clearly available from the original source [5] so use that as a reference if you wish to add the info. If you want to improve Wikipedia, that is clearly the best option. Bobby ^{I'm Here, Are You There?} 14:29, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Actually, I had altered the text slightly so it was not exactly word for word, since I added a few points about how the Philadelphia and West Point mint marks were different; however, point understood, as a blog it may not be enough to substantiate the information.

At any rate, I was first of all trying to clarify this line under VALUE: "These coins are produced at the West Point Mint in West Point, New York and carry the mint's mark ("W") beneath the date." Using the phrase "these coins" is ambiguous because the preceding text talks "generally" about the bullion coins AND the proof coins.

ONLY the proof coins have the mint marks, not the bullion coins, (except for a small number of 1999 bullion errors), so the words "These coins" are unclear.

Furthermore, the Fractional gold coins were not always produced at West Point; from 1987-1991 they were minted at Philadelphia with a "P". That's why I was trying to alter to "The American Gold Eagle Proof One Ounce coins have been produced at West Point" so it would not mislead that all gold coins were. ---MickF 2 June 2011

Some of what was said above is technically incorrect. Since (I believe) 2006, the so-called "burnished" gold eagles, which are not proofs, have been minted at West Point.-RHM22 (talk) 22:07, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

The point being that the blanket statement "These coins are produced at the West Point Mint in West Point, New York and carry the mint's mark "W" beneath the date" is inaccurate, since it is unclear if it's referring to all Gold Eagles or only some. Currently, the statement makes it seem all-inclusive, in my opinion, which is incorrect/misleading. --- Mickf78 (talk) --- MickF, 3 June 2011

1942 Mercury Dime image attributions

Hi Bobby. File:1942-Mercury-Dime-Obverse.jpg and File:1942-Mercury-Dime-Reverse.jpg are listed as your "own work(s)". I found the statement written as an attribution in the CC-license template a bit confusing, however. I think it would be best to move the sentence about who took the photograph away from the Attribution field like so and so. I hope you would not mind my boldness and apologize in advance if it does.

Image tagging for File:Seated Liberty Quarter with Arrows and Rays.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Seated Liberty Quarter with Arrows and Rays.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

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

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This bot's kidding right? Bobby ^{I'm Here, Are You There?} 17:10, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Unbelievable. I guess not one human eye looked at that image before a stupid freaking bot deleted it. Every single piece of information is said wasn't there, was there plain as day. I'll be deleting all my images tomorrow and closing up shop here. Bobby ^{I'm Here, Are You There?} 04:00, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Problem Solved! Now please don't flee.

I convinced an admin, Ironholds to undelete the image, on account of the fact that the information was in fact available. I then stuck everything in templates, and when I'm done with this message, I'm going to go have a word with Fastily, the admin that deleted the image.

Please don't go, and please don't stop contribution all those images. This was a breakdown in the system. It happens from time to time, it sucks when it does, but it's not personal. Importantly, everything has been repaired.

If you ever have a problem with images again, drop me a message at my talk page and I will personally make sure it gets sorted out. I'm also watchlisting your page so that if there's another issue, I might pick up on it and fix it before you even come online and notice the message.

Request on licenses for your uploads

Hi Bobby. I see you have a ton of uploads, but only some of them have a license regarding any copyright which you own for scanning them. The Wikimedia Foundation's position is that coins are 3D objects, so anybody who scans them needs to explicitly license them (see commons:Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag#Photograph of an old coin found on the Internet). May I please confirm that all the images which you've uploaded to Wikipedia and Commons are available under cc-by-sa-3.0? If so, I'd like to tag all of your images, which don't already have a license for the scanner, as

{{cc-by-sa-3.0|Photo taken by user bobby131313 and may be used freely with following credit. Image courtesy of [http://www.coincommunity.com/CCF-Numismatics/ CCF Numismatics]}}

. Also, I'm assuming that means you own the website coincommunity, right?

Thanks for your help. I'd appreciate a response at any time, otherwise I will eventually nominate your images for deletion as lacking copyright! I don't want to do that, and you shouldn't have any further problems with them after this. Magog the Ogre (talk) 12:24, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

You might want to email him as well. I wish he'd come back.--Wehwalt (talk) 13:09, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

2019 US Banknote Contest

	US Banknote Contest
	November-December 2019
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here

Custom signature fix needed

Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error, specifically formatting tags that are in the wrong order.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
3. Remove anything in the Signature: text box.
4. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
2. Change the signature as show below, or make other edits to make the signature appear how you want it to appear.
3. Click Save to update to your newly fixed signature.

Current signature:
'''<font color="green">[[User:Bobby131313|Bobby]]</font>''' <sup>I'm [[User talk:Bobby131313|Here]], Are You [[Lost|There]]?</sup>

Fixed signature:
'''[[User:Bobby131313|<span style="color:green;">Bobby</span>]]''' <sup>I'm [[User talk:Bobby131313|Here]], Are You [[Lost|There]]?</sup>

More information is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures or respond here. Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:07, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
