File source problem with File:Gnop!.svg

Thank you for uploading File:Gnop!.svg. 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 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. 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 refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:43, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mike Shipley, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Scorpions (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

File permission problem with File:Seal of Montgomery County, Maryland.svg

Thanks for uploading File:Seal of Montgomery County, Maryland.svg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 21:07, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Alberta's 19nd Legislature

Hello, I've run into a bunch of your edits from a few years ago, [1], [2] and [3] for example. In those edits you added a reference to A Guide to Alberta's 19nd Legislature. Is it really 19nd, or should it be 19th? Let me know and I'd be happy to fix them. Thanks, SchreiberBike talk 21:56, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Protecting a userpage?

Hey, I thought I'd ask you to take a peek back at User:Deep Dhudiya. The user has been blocked from editing anything but his talk page, but he's been logging in with IPs to re-add the userspace material that got him blocked in the first place. I've protected the page to prevent any further attempts to re-add the information with IPs, but I don't know if this affects the talk page as well. I don't think it did and I don't think there would be any true loss if it was, as it's pretty clear he doesn't plan on doing any beneficial editing or show cause for him to do as such. In any case, I thought I'd drop you a line and let you know what I did and get you to take a look at it. If I did something wrong, feel free to undo it and let me know what the proper protocol/procedure is. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 03:40, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

I screwed up a few moves and can't fix it myself

Ultragamesau created a fake article as their userpage for a company with the same name as their username. You indefinitely blocked them with a username violation.

I tried to move the userpage to a subpage of the user to further avoid a WP:FAKEARTICLE situation but didn't put it together that I'd be moving their talk page as well. I tried to reverse my mistake and only made things worse. I can't fix the issue with out admin rights so I thought you might be able to help.

Here's what needs to happen, to save you some time.

Sorry for the mix up. OlYeller21Talktome 14:18, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

User:Gingeroscar

Hi Connormah, I saw the trout on another editor's talk. I expressed a concern about the treatment of this newbie here yesterday. Not convinced he is a vandal, rather a confused good faith editor with good intentions but no direct constructive feedback to mentor him through his confusion of having most of his efforts reverted. Granted only 3-4 of the articles he's worked on are in my watchlist and none of them templates. Just thought I'd add my observation. Cheers, Hwy43 (talk) 06:06, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

I'd agree with that assessment. I'm not really too much into the articles, but if some editor would be willing to post a note to their talk and such to guide them, that'd probably help out a lot. But all that seems to have been done is reverting and WP:BITEing, and that AIV report (where I stumbled upon this case)... – Connormah (talk) 06:30, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

INC Verification

Hello, you recently blocked this user for deleting this material. While I admit that he should have explained why he was removing it in his edit summary, I do not believe the block was justified because the material included unsourced statements like "In many peoples opinion this can be viewed as petty, cowardly and weak." The entire section was at best poorly sourced to the Ripoff report of all places! It was heavily biased too. Please read more carefully when people are deleting content before blocking them as vandals, even when they have been reverted by several other editors. Thanks! Reaper Eternal (talk) 18:44, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for catching this. I'll gracefully take a trout for this and admit that I erred. Thanks for the note again. – Connormah (talk) 18:54, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Hey, since you're a member of the OTRS team, can you check out Ticket#2013091310017122?

Lou Reed

Hi, Connormah. Is Rolling Stone a victim of the hoax, or is this a separate story and possible true? The RS story say Reed died today, but the hoax says he died Friday. ---- Rrburke (talk) 18:30, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

It looks to be true, unfortunately. Several others seem to have picked up on it including the National Post, Globe and Mail, Guardian, and Telegraph, to name a few. The hoax site doesn't look convincing. – Connormah (talk) 18:41, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
I agree about the hoax site: on the other hand, all of the other outlets seem to be relying solely on the Rolling Stone story. I'm not going to edit the article, but as Wikipedia is not the news, I don't think there would be much harm in removing the death information while waiting for the dust to settle. Might be better than helping spread a hoax. ---- Rrburke (talk) 18:45, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
The Guardian seems to have a quote from his agent: [4] – Connormah (talk) 18:46, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Birth dates

Hi Connormah. I think I know what guideline you mean now. And you're right -- footnotes don't appear in the lead for things cited in the article body. (Same with infoboxes.) We're allowed to footnote in the lead, though, for contentious material and for material not in the article body. Since WP:LEADs summarize the article, that usually means avoiding footnotes. Life and birth dates, however, aren't always worked into the article body, and so they're footnoted in the lead; also, with celebrities especially, birth dates can be contentious, so they're often cited.

That said, if we can find a way to work the birth date naturally into the article body, and where it's clear what's citing what, then by all means cite it there. (The death date is less of an issue, there's usually a death section, or at least a dedicated paragraph covering death.) --Tenebrae (talk) 20:30, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Infobox college coach

Connormah, I saw your edit on Shirley Wilson. A few things about Template:Infobox college coach:

  • Please see Template:Infobox college coach#Empty for the proper form of this template. You pulled in a legacy version with a number of stale fields.
  • The name field should display the subject common name, that is the article name minus any parenthetical disambiguation, e.g. "Shirley Wilson", not "S. S. (Red) Wilson".
  • Sports field should be populated with "Football", not "College football" as coaches often worked at multiple levels (high school, junior college, college, and pro).
  • Coaching, playing, and admin team histories should link to team articles, even if they are only redirects, not the school articles, i.e. Elon Phoenix football, not Elon University.

Larry Lujack

Hey,
Thanks for finding that source for the Larry Lujack page and rewording the recently added bit. I wasn't sure what to do since this person has died within the past 24 hours. After reading through the page, it looks like it needs to be reorganized a bit. I am willing to take a crack at it, but I am new to Wikipedia so I am not sure if it is appropriate to do so at this time. Does Wikipedia have a policy about editing pages of person's who have recently died? I remember seeing a banner (or something) about that, but can seem to find anything specific on Wikipedia about it. Should I just leave it alone and let somebody more experienced take care of it? Marchjuly (talk) 05:21, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi there. Thanks for the interest in the article! Nope, there are no "new" policies in place for articles of recently deceased people, except that WP:BLP should still be kept in mind, along with the usual other guidelines (NPOV, MOS, etc.). The recent death template is typically only used for articles with an extremely high edit count and traffic (think Michael Jackson). Have at it if you wish! – Connormah (talk) 05:29, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
Thanks. I think I'll wait a few days since none of what I feel needs to be done is anything uber time sensitive. Plus, I don't want to step on too many toes by changing it around so soon after this person has died. In fact, I wasn't watching your page, so thanks for posting on my talk page too.

Re:Sam Donaldson

It looks like he's going to need to wait a bit longer:

  • This one has no date on the back or release from ABC. The photo was taken in the 70s and ABC got their money's worth out of it because it was still being printed in 1984. :)
  • The one with the plane has no date or information to "tie" it back to ABC either.

Washington state legislators

Hi-I will probably work on the articles and it will be gradual. I find the United States territorial and state legislators are very interesting. In Wisconsin you have some man who is a dairy farmer and has been involved in local government. Then this individual is elected to the Wisconsin Legislature. This can be interesting. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 04:06, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Sid Snyder

Hi-I started an article on Sid Snyder. He was not on the list; however, he and Lorraine Wojahn died on the same weekend in October 2012. One interesting note about the Wisconsin Legislature; in the 1880s some constitutional changes were passed changing the terms, etc. of Wisconsin constitutional officers. One change was that the Wisconsin Legislature had meetings once every 2 years. This enabled people to get elected to the legislature including farmers who were also involved in local government. In 1968 Wisconsin passed a constitutional amendment that permitted the Wisconsin Legislature to meet yearly again. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 12:24, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Bryan Fairfax: Date of Birth query

Hi there. The first note under Biography just tells me he was born in 1930. I don't see any specific date mentioned anywhere. What am I missing? Cheers. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 02:22, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi! This (the cite after it says he was born in 1930) gives the date as 2-8-1930. Thanks! – Connormah (talk) 02:23, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
Thanks, Yes, I just saw that, finally. That seems to be taken from New Grove, a UK publication. Can we be sure the LC has changed it to US format, month-day-year? Otherwise it could mean 2 August 1930. I'd much rather a direct citation if we can get hold of one.
Also, there's now a doubt about his date of death - see Talk page. Cheers. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 02:34, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Hockey photos

Let me see what's out there in photos and also in gum cards. Topps and Bowman did (and still do) a lot of sports cards. Neither company renewed any of their older cards, so we might find something there too. We hope (talk) 14:49, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Wikimedia Commons has media related to Red Kelly.

But nothing yet for Henri Richard. When using the gum cards, they have to be before 1964 to be copyright not renewed.
