Template:Nothere

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Wellesley college seal.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Wellesley college seal.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 06:05, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

African journeys

Thanks for your answer here. In response to your question about travelling down the Congo, I can recommend Tim Butcher's Blood River: A Journey to Africa's Broken Heart. He is a British journalist, former Africa corespondent, who traced Stanley's cross-continent epic exploration. I found it a gripping read of a solitary and dangeous journey. The book was published in 2007, so I think the journey was 2005 or 2006 -- very recently post-war, in as much as the war has really finished. See reviews here. Good luck!

You are most welcome! I would love to hear more of your journey -- in general, in odd places such as Somaliland, and also about being Chinese(-looking) in Africa. If you would like to write more, I'd love to read it! (but don't feel obliged to share...). BrainyBabe (talk) 06:09, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
I've read it all. Interesting, esp re eing sahken down by the cops. THe Atlantic article one of your correspondents linked to inspired me to do some work on the Isaias Afewerki article, so that's a good use of my time. BrainyBabe (talk) 09:01, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Loves Art

First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject).

I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Misplaced Pages articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.

If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!

If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Loves Art#Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.

Thank you and I hope to see you there! howcheng {chat} 00:11, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Joyce maynard looking back cover.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Joyce maynard looking back cover.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, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Misplaced Pages's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:34, 6 September 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 16:34, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Sergeant york movie poster.gif

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Sergeant york movie poster.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

  • I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions. If you have a question, place a {{helpme}} template, along with your question, beneath this message.
  • I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
  • If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
  • To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Caligula's horse

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Caligula's horse requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Vrenator 11:44, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Belle Meade Country Club

Is it possible to see what the page looked like before it was deleted? I don't think this is an insignificant country club at all. Certainly not as much as some of those! . Thanks!Zigzig20s (talk) 11:11, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Questia Email

In order to approve your account, I need to send you an email. However, it seems that you do not currently have your e-mail activated. Could you please activate it so I can send you the code? Thanks! ChrisGualtieri (talk) 16:46, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
