section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright

infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, 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 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Unspecified source for Image:Amoshumiston.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Amoshumiston.jpg. 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, then 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, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{

Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

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 uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on

Thanks for providing some good citations in the Gettysburg Address article. Look to see how I changed your reference to Lincoln's collected works in the Political significance section into to a proper Harvard-style citation. An HTML link to a picture of a page of a book doesn't really substitute for a proper scholarly citation, and the citation templatesupports including the link anyway. Thanks again for helping to take care of {{fact}} tags. --Kbh3^rdtalk 23:14, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A file you uploaded, File:Gmdocherty.jpg has been deleted as a copyright violation. The original artist who painted the portrait is the copyright-holder, and only he can legally release his work to the Public Domain. As you have previously uploaded this same painting as File:Georgedocherty.jpg and File:Dochertygeorge.jpg only to have it deleted twice, continued attempts to upload this image in violation of our copyright policies will result in your being blocked from editing without further warning.  JGHowes  ^talk 04:03, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to

talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 18:41, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Battle of Columbus (1865), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Selma and Confederacy (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.

Your upload of File:Confederatessetfire.JPG or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata.

Hello Hilltoppers,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Flexible seating classrooms for deletion, because it appears to duplicate an existing Wikipedia article, Classroom, Flipped Classroom, School organizational models, Classroom management etc.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Thank you for uploading File:Pemberton's Eagle and Drug House, Birthplace of Coca-Cola.jpeg. However, there is a concern that the use of the image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. Details of this problem, and which specific criteria that the image may not meet, can be obtained by going to the image description page. If you feel that this image does meet those criteria, please place a note on the image description or talk page explaining why. Do not remove the {{di-fails NFCC}} tag itself.

An administrator will review this file within a few days, and having considered the opinions placed on the image page, may delete it in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion or remove the tag entirely. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jonteemil (talk) 17:30, 13 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
