Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Madagascar Kestrel.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Polly (Parrot) 21:43, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalizing section headings

Hi Caitlin. Regarding your edit to Jennifer, please be aware that our Wikipedia:Manual of Style asks that we not capitalize section headings other than the first word, unless it is a proper noun. Thanks! Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 19:24, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It should be "Given name", not "Given Name" in the section heading, according to our style manual at Wikipedia. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 19:36, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to List of tomboys in fiction, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. --DAJF (talk) 00:01, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. Thank you. -- Mark Chovain 03:43, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of House hugger

I have nominated House hugger, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/House hugger. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Hemlock Martinis (talk) 19:09, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've undone your move. Please make yourself familiar with our naming guidelines. Disambiguation titles are used only when necessary. user:Everyme 22:40, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request to move article Oops!... I Did It Again incomplete

You recently filed a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves to move the page Oops!... I Did It Again to a different title - however your proposal is either incomplete or has been contested as being controversial. As a result, it has been moved to the incomplete and contested proposals section. Requests that remain incomplete after five days will be removed.

Please make sure you have completed all three of the following:

Added {{move|NewName}} at the top of the talk page of the page you want moved, replacing "NewName" with the new name for the article. This creates the required template for you there.
Added {{subst:RMtalk|NewName|reason for move}} to the bottom of the talk page of the page you want to be moved, to automatically create a discussion section there.
Added {{subst:RMlink|PageName|NewName|reason for move}} to the top of today's section here.

If you need any further guidance, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Requested moves or contact me on my talk page. - JPG-GR (talk) 23:46, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Album naming

I noticed on requested moves you requested a change of Oops!… I Did It Again on the basis that it needed (Britney Spears album) at the end. This isn't to criticise you, but not all articles need a disambiguator in parentheses at the end of the title. These disambiguators are only needed when there is another article with the same that is just as common as a search term. This album doesn't need a disambiguator because, in general, albums are a more common search term than their title track.

Edit Summaries

Please stop using "I Edited" as your only edit summary. You're making a lot of repeat mistakes in your editing, and searching through your contributions to revert them all is painful without any meaningful summaries. We know you edited, otherwise the page wouldn't be changing. We want to know what you changed without having to look at the exact change.

The mistake you were making today was changing possessive "its" to "it's". "It's" is a concatenation of "it is". If you're unsure of correct apostrophe usage, please leave them alone in articles. -- Mark Chovain 02:28, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I wanted to add to what Mark Chovain said above.

The purpose of edit summaries is to lett other editors see at a glance what you did when you edited the article, so they can decide if they want to take a look at your edits. (It's by a constant process of editors checking each other that we keep Wikipedia accurate and well-written.) Your edit summaries don't need to be extensive, something like "Added an external link" or "Re-wrote the lede paragraph" or "Fixed a reference" or "Made a lot of small changes" are all acceptable. As you get more accomplished, abbreviations and shorthand can also be used for things you do often – but whatever you choose to say, it does need to be more explanatory that "I edited", which tells us nothing that we don't already know.

Notability of Jessica Gaude

A tag has been placed on Jessica Gaude requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) ^{(talk / cont)} 05:32, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I want to note that your article has been deleted, for a number of reasons:

You didn't tell us why the person in the article was notable, which is essential for someone to have a Wikipedia article about them.

You didn't provide a reliable source for the information in the article. This is always important, but because the person you wrote about is still alive, it is even more important, because...

Wikipedia's policies about biographies of living persons are much more strict that they are about people who are not alive, in order to protect both the people being written about and Wikipedia.

I will also note that, although it wasn't a reason why the article was deleted, the writing in the article didn't really measure up to what is expected on Wikipedia. If you are new to Wikipedia, which I think is the case, you're probably better off helping to improve existing articles for a while until you get the feel of the place, before you try to create new articles from scratch. If you do start a new page, please pay close attention to how you present your information: spelling, grammar, logical order etc. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) ^{(talk / cont)} 19:39, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jennifer (given name)

Sorry, but that complaint about "breaking Wikipedia" does not wash. Links appear and disappear all the time, and that's the way it SHOULD work. Please visit Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Anthroponymy#Again_with_the_popularity_contests... to participate in creating a logic rationale that fits with Wikipedia policy for including these list. Until then, respectfully, I will continue to remove such lists. Please do not re-add them without some form of consensus. If you feel that that is not possible, please bring up the matter at Wikipedia:Third opinion. --Kickstart70-T-C 17:00, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.
