Green Scare

Hi Dumpster. Good work on the Green Scare article, however, ther are problems with the Operation Backfire section. You use a blog as a source for a lot of additions. This is not considered a reliable source on Wikipedia unless the information is about the writer of the blog him or herself. In this case it isn't. There are obvious litigious reasons for this. Moreover, I'm not sure quite what you mean with some of the text you added, i'm going to change it, but please have a look incase i have misinterepreted. If you have other sources that can back up what you said, please feel free to re-instate with those. Rockpocket 19:52, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Warcry.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Warcry.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

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

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 16:12, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Nancy Cunard

It's great that you want to improve Nancy Cunard's article, but please don't copy phrases and sentences written by others, as you did with the New York Times book review. It looks like most, if not all, of the text you added is a copyright violation. —Cel ithemis 11:30, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Changing a few things here and there doesn't help -- you still have phrases and whole sentences from the Times. If you want to add this material you need to reword it *completely* in your own words. —Cel ithemis 12:02, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've again added the new information, but re-wrote it so it should be okay now. Dumpster 12:03, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Anarchists category

Please stop removing anarchists from the "anarchists" category. I don't know if the reason why you are doing this is because they have already been put in the anarchist section by nationality, but in that case you are questioning the "anarchists" section itself, for a lot of reasons. Some people find it useful to have a category with all the anarchists in one place, and since we already have that category, even if there is an anarchist that hasn't got an unknown nationality, he is still an anarchist to be found in that category. Please remember that not all people browse the category pages from "articles to categories". These pages are also used from "categories to articles".Maziotis 16:36, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ok I'll undo what I did & then some then. I like having all the anarchists in one place especially because since when did anarchists think nationalistic divisions should divide them. Dumpster 16:42, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use Image:Sherman Austin comic.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Sherman Austin comic.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skomorokh ^incite 15:48, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Hearts

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Strong Hearts, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
