As a followup on this: because the postcard was published before 1923, no copyright (even Creative Commons) can be claimed for that image (see explanation at commons:Commons:Licensing#Material_in_the_public_domain ). I fixed the tag to be a Public Domain 1923 tag at File:Waco Cotton Palace.jpg. The Wikimedia community interprets reproduction of 2d images in the United States under the following justification:commons:Commons:When_to_use_the_PD-Art_tag. I realize that Baylor likely has a different policy on the digitization, and I wouldn't recommend wading into that set of problems, if you don't have to. These lack of claims to copyright, does not mean that we shouldn't provide robust metadata that attributes Baylor's effort in digitizing: just Copyright is the wront legal machanism to do so.

On 31 May 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Cameron Park (Waco), which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Cameron Park in Waco, Texas, will open a new limestone pavilion this summer? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Cameron Park (Waco). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

The article George Washington Truett you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:George Washington Truett for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. LavaBaron (talk) 03:01, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi, just letting you know that there is a discussion occurring on Talk:Debate about moving article content related solely, or mostly dealing with, competitive debating into a new article to allow Debate to be more about the form of discussion instead of styles of competitive debating.

Hi Ducknish,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
