Welcome

Hello Tedland and welcome to Wikipedia!

Thanks for the contribution to the Carol Highsmith article.

A couple of requests:

please don't mark edits that are that long as "minor" even if they are mainly footnotes, and
please don't use "op cit" in a footnote - we just spell it the whole footnote or refer to a "named reference"

No problem though, please keep on contributing!

Ibid

What Smallbones says about "op cit" also applies to "ibid" and "loc cit". Please see this. -- Hoary (talk) 23:32, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Commercially motivated sources

You sourced one assertion about Highsmith to this page selling her photos. Such a source isn't adequate, other of course than for humdrum claims such as that the company sells her work. Please see this. -- Hoary (talk) 23:32, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

Not one of your edits so far has been accompanied by an edit summary. Please provide an edit summary with each edit: see this. -- Hoary (talk) 23:32, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Carol M. Highsmith

Tedland, I notice that every one of your edits so far has been to the article on Carol M. Highsmith, whose collaborator and husband is Ted Landphair. Is the resemblance between his name and yours merely a coincidence? -- Hoary (talk) 23:32, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Removing warning flags

In this edit -- which, like all your others, lacks an edit summary -- you remove a "Citation needed" flag.

Imaginably a "Citation needed" flag is simply inappropriate. In that case, argue this point in the article's talk page. When you've got agreement, then remove it.

Otherwise, a "Citation needed" flag is only removed when it's replaced by a citation. -- Hoary (talk) 00:11, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, when I wrote "this edit" above, I intended to link to it: "this edit" (23:55).

I warned you about this above, at 00:11, and seconds later reverted this part of your edit.

As part of this edit (01:25), you again removed the warning flag. I've therefore brought up the matter here on an administrators' noticeboard. Although it's primarily intended for action by administrators, anyone may comment there and you may wish to do so. -- Hoary (talk) 02:02, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
