Immigration article

I have redirected your article on illegal immigration to Illegal immigration to the United States, as there is already a robust article there on the topic. Feel free to focus your editing efforts there. Thanks! FCYTravis 22:31, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

General Kelley's article

Hey, thanks for creating the redirects and the attempted article for General Kelley. I did some digging and found that we already have an article on him (weird spelling) at Paul X. Kelley, so I just redirected them there. Cheers!--Kchase T 08:02, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Edit summaries

When editing an article on Misplaced Pages there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. -- JHunterJ 15:07, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Ford2005CarLineUP.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ford2005CarLineUP.jpg. Misplaced Pages gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Misplaced Pages, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. 23:06, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Nusbaum

Please do not create articles that have external links only. Academic Challenger 00:25, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Tsvi C. Nussbaum

Did you even look at the 2nd link under External Links in that article? I suggest you read section 1.2, as it clearly shows that it is unlikely that Tsvi Nussbaum is the boy in the photo. I have no past bias in this case, as I knew nothing about Tvsi Nussbaum until yesterday. In the future, resolve disputes on the talk page, not by reverting. — BRIAN0918 • 2006-09-29 11:32Z

Yellowstone National Park

I appreciate your efforts to cleanup the article, but it is already too crowded with images. I will remove a few that can be found in the commons link at the references.--MONGO 09:02, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Camperstrike...I'm sure you think you're doing the best thing for the Yellowstone article, but I am the one who has been removing images that aren't helpfull and causing the crowding whereby you're reducing them to the point where they are not even visible...that doesn't help at all. I know you just want to help and I encourage you to do so, but you'll have to be more standard with your contributions if you expect them to stick around. I would also like to remind you to use timestamp signatures whenever you make a comment on a talkpage, and to use edit summarys by typing a quick not about your editing in the summary window that always appears below the editing window. Thanks.--MONGO 19:28, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Image tagging for Image:Rusty Humphries Small.jpg

Image:Rusty Humphries Small.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Rusty Humphries Small.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Chowbok ☠ 02:53, 16 November 2006 (UTC)


Forgive me if I make a mistake in this area, I am still learning how wiki works. That photograph is the one rusty distributes to all the radio stations for advertising, promotional, and publicity use.

Yellowstone again

HI...mind using only this account to make edits, instead of an IP as well? I have asked for the Yellowstone article to be protected from editiing and then you'll be forced to duscuss changes on the article talk page. Thanks.--MONGO 09:55, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Camperstrike, I just reverted your revert, the edit summary "Reverted destructive edits" you used was not really adequate as there was nothing destructive there.
What screen resolution are you useing? I have mine set at 800x600 (lowest available) and have no problem with the images set at the 250+/- range. Only in one or two spots is there a bit of text squeeze which can be solved by slight repositioning.
Also please log in when you edit - I'm assuming that several of the anon. talk page comments are yours. We need to work together to improve the article, so please cease and discuss specific changes on the talk page to avoid any need for page protection. Thanks, Vsmith 11:36, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
