Nice Article. Suggestions....if you want them. Infobox. Sub Titles and picture? Victuallers 14:26, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

suggestions

This is my first article, Judge Hughes, so I am still learning the tricks of the trade.

And, alas, I have no picture.

DYK

On 26 September, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Robert William Hughes, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Notability of Joshua Fry Bullitt, Jr.

A tag has been placed on Joshua Fry Bullitt, Jr. 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 page (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.

Image copyright problem with Image:William Alexander Anderson.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:William Alexander Anderson.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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 19:14, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work!

I keep running across articles you've worked on or started - excellent work! I spend a fair amount of time around Virginia related articles, so I'm always happy to see quality new content coming in. Feel free to drop me a line if you ever need help or advice.--Kubigula (talk) 05:24, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for November 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Glen Morgan Williams, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page George Allen (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.

Orphaned non-free image File:Judge Floyd Roberts.jpeg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Judge Floyd Roberts.jpeg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:22, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Big Stone Gap

I'm on my way to Big Stone Gap for a CLE tomorrow. I'd love to meet you, either if you're attending, or perhaps afterward, before I head toward the Cumberland Gap. FYI, we both edited the article about Judge Floyd Roberts last year, and while I haven't fiddled with the infobox for Rufus Ayers yet, I did expand the articles about Campbell and Bascom Slemp (I hope not poorly since I've never been in those counties). Anyhow, I'm on my way to Hungry Mother State Park, perhaps to experience the CCC vibe, if a necessary stop at the LVA doesn't take too long.Jweaver28 (talk) 17:56, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free rationale for File:Judge Floyd Roberts.jpeg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Judge Floyd Roberts.jpeg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free 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 tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 20:28, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
