File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Jay-silverheels-01.png
Thanks for uploading File:Jay-silverheels-01.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on

Referring to your note on my talk page and my reply there. I have now found references to its use to describe a device used by safe-breakers BUT it seems that the manufacturers of safes soon developed the technology to counteract it and the latest pertinent use I can find is 1867. The only current place it's used is in a crossword-solving list and this is a definite fail should I try to get it into Wiktionary that hates items that have just been lazily copied from dictionary to dictionary and/or from list to list without evidence of current use. Of course if we can find it in a book still in publication from the early 19th century (such as Dickens or Jane Austen) then it could be included as a obsolete term but failing that it's not worth the effort.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to List of birds of Yellowstone National Park may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Hello, I'm Doniago. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Catch Me If You Can seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 16:57, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
