DYK for 2012 24 Hours of Daytona

On 15 February 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article 2012 24 Hours of Daytona, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Grand-Am regulars John Pew and Oswaldo Negri teamed with NASCAR driver A. J. Allmendinger and IndyCar driver Justin Wilson to win the 2012 24 Hours of Daytona endurance race? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/2012 24 Hours of Daytona.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

License tagging for File:Enzo potolicchio le mans 2012.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Enzo potolicchio le mans 2012.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 20:05, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Alex popow

The article Alex popow has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:GNG, no reliable sources

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --IShadowed 20:59, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Tim Pappas ALMS Profile.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Tim Pappas ALMS Profile.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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-enwikimedia.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-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} 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. Angus McLellan (Talk) 18:12, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Minor style issues

Howdy. There are a number of minor style mistakes that you have been making. It's not a big deal, and while it would be helpful if you would learn the style basics if you plan on contributing a lot, please don't let style get in the way of improving the content. Here are some things I've noticed:

date format - for Americans, normally use MDY format, e.g. July 4, 1776 (for non-Americans, it depends on country but it's mostly DMY)
don't abbreviate months of the year (except perhaps in tables or other space-limited contexts)
don't abbreviate states, neither Ore. or OR, it should always be Oregon (except in space-limited contexts)
in section headings, use sentence case (only first letter capitalized), e.g. "Minor style issues", not "Minor Style Issues" but capitalize anything that would be capitalized in a sentence, such as "Rolex Sports Car Series"

Disambiguation link notification for February 17

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

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.
