Fair use rationale for File:P I T stage.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:P I T stage.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NanohaA'sYuriTalk, My master 23:34, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I have reverted your edits to King-Size Homer because I think the information you added is too detailed. According to WP:PLOTS, plot summaries should only be between 300 and 500 words. You can read more about writing plot summaries here. TheLeftorium 10:55, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (File:MKSM6.JPG)
Thanks for uploading File:MKSM6.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 06:30, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi N4L. I came across the template you created, {{Michigan counties}}, and I was thinking about adjusting it to be similar to templates such as {{Minnesota County Labelled Map}}, {{Missouri County Labelled Map}}, etc. I believe that format is easier to read. Also, the template is currently not functionally scalable - I would fix this as well (see doc for explanation of this). Comments/questions? Jujutacular T · C 10:47, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
- When I created the template for Michigan counties, I didn't really think to check other states to see if they had maps that I could follow, and I'll admit, the one I created didn't look too well or fit into the article. I went through and made a new one, {{Michigan County Labelled Map}}, to coincide with the rest of the templates for the other states. If there's anything else I need to do for this new template, let me know. —Notorious4life (talk) 16:41, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
- Also, I added a insert of the United States map into the free space in the template to better illustrate the location of Michigan in the United States (just in case someone stumbled upon this article and didn't know for sure where the state of Michigan is located). If that doesn't fit well, then I can just remove it, but I thought it was a nice touch for the extra space (which most states don't have that extra space on their maps). —Notorious4life (talk) 16:44, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
- That's looks excellent! Thank you! I just added ALT text, other than that it looks great. I recently promoted List of counties in Missouri to FL quality, and I thought I would work on List of counties in Michigan in the coming weeks. It already looks pretty good, so it probably won't be quite as much work. If you have any thoughts or would like to help, feel free. Thanks again. Jujutacular T · C 18:19, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
Detroit River Light
A major problem with the NRHP database is its attribution of communities to places: they're frequently not in the communities where they're listed. You shouldn't always trust that a place is in the community in which it's listed, especially if it's listed in a place in another county. Please check the coordinates and see if they place it in the correct location, and if not, please make sure that the coordinates are correct, and fix them if they're not; once you know what the proper coords are, if you discover that they place the lighthouse in the wrong county, please move it to the appropriate county list. I appreciate the changing of "City or Town" to townships where appropriate; I've made the same sort of change to all but 12 of Ohio's counties and all but 20 of Pennsylvania's, and I plan to do the rest when possible. Thanks for the help; and would you be willing to try to correct the localities for other counties in Michigan? Nyttend (talk) 02:30, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the respect, whether or not it's deserved :-) Do you own a copy of DeLorme's Michigan Atlas and Gazetteer? Frustratingly, it doesn't show township boundaries, but there's a ton that it does show, and you'll likely find it useful if you want to do this kind of work with other counties. You can find precise township boundaries here, and you can get them by putting in the township name in the search form here. As far as the light: go here and navigate to the mouth of the river; as long as you can find where the light is, you shouldn't have trouble discerning in which county it's located.

Today's edits at the Monroe County NRHP list
First off — removing the house photo was an error; sorry about that. I'll put it back as soon as I finish writing this message. Secondly, try putting the bridge's reference number (82005048) into this webpage (run by WikiProject NRHP member Elkman), which gives you the exact NRHP database: you'll see that it gives you the listing code of "DO", which means that it was determined eligible but was not listed due to an objection by the owner. Sites like this are a reason, by the way, that we at the NRHP project have learned not to trust nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com — there's no indication at their Monroe County list that the bridge isn't listed.
As far as the district — I removed it because it didn't show the district itself, not because it wasn't a good photo of the bay. Sadly, we simply can't get good pictures to illustrate many archaeological sites; among other things, that very problem is going to keep me from producing a fully-illustrated list of Union County, Ohio sites, and it may keep me from producing a fully-illustrated list of Champaign County, Ohio sites. Nyttend (talk) 22:37, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
- By the way, good job on finding the multiple property submission form that you mentioned in your note to me. MPS forms are generally good resources if you're writing about a property, but a property's inclusion in an MPS doesn't necessarily mean that it's listed, even if the rest of the properties are. For example, the Cross-Tipped Churches multiple property submission included many Catholic churches and church-related buildings in Ohio (complete list here), but it also included a single church in Indiana that ended up not being listed until two years after the Ohio churches. If you ever want to find an MPS form, see here. Nyttend (talk) 22:43, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
- Welcome to the project! You'll likely find the Elkman generator (to which we frequently refer simply as "Elkman") a very useful tool for many other purposes than proving that sites aren't on the Register :-) And thanks much for the compliments on the photos :-) I'm sure that I've been seen by passersby in the same way, especially when — like yesterday when I was in Zanesville, Ohio — I'm taking pictures of parking lots that are located where destroyed Register-listed buildings were located. You may want to talk with Andrew Jameson — although he's not a member of WP:NRHP, he's contributed immensely to the Detroit and Wayne County lists. Nyttend (talk) 23:44, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
- Now that I understand that the bay photo did show the district, I'm going to restore it; sorry for misunderstanding. Nyttend (talk) 15:37, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
