A tag has been placed on Truman Gibson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Blanchardb - Me• MyEars• MyMouth- timed 22:44, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:GibsonTruman.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.
Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI ( talk) 00:27, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading File:Louis-schmeling-1938.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. Additionally, if you continue uploading bad images, you may be blocked from uploading. STBotI ( talk) 20:08, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
Please use edit summaries. It is very time consuming for others if you don't. Cheers, Kingturtle ( talk) 15:45, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for your contributions to
Wikipedia. Please don't forget to provide an

Thanks for uploading File:Clancy.JPG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. -- ImageTaggingBot ( talk) 19:06, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
Do not strike through a discussant's comment. Strikethrough means the reviewer believes the point has been resolved, not the nominator.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 22:15, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi. It's generally accepted that editors should only have one active FAC at a time; do you mind if I remove Joe Louis until Jackie Robinson is done with? Steve T • C 20:31, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi Bill. I would be happy to help copyedit Jackie Robinson. I also wanted to let you know that I have removed your nomination of Joe Louis for now, as the Template:FAC-instructions indicate that "Users should not add a second FA nomination until the first has gained support and reviewers' concerns have been substantially addressed." The intent there is to most effectively utilize our resources—not only is it difficult for a nominator to keep up with reviewers at multiple FACs, but we also have a limited number of reviewers and a long list of articles to review. I hope you understand.
The weather here is too gorgeous for much daytime editing, but I'll try to start working on Jackie tonight. Maralia ( talk) 20:35, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
I am sorry to say that it is not looking so good for the FAC. I would encourage you to continue your efforts. Robinson is getting lots of feedback, which means you will have things to improve. You may even want to go to WP:PR if the FAC fails. You are fortunate to be working on an athlete of top international importance that can get people to volunteer their time to consider. I have a FAC for Rob Pelinka and can not get a witness.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 07:12, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
If that's all that's keeping the article from FA status, why not get rid of the non-free images? They should serve the article, not the other way around. I would certainly prefer to see the article promoted than to see a photo I uploaded stay in it. -- Amble ( talk) 18:56, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi BillTunell/Archive 1,
I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in
United States legal articles to take a look at
WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".
Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.
What you can do now:

Thanks for uploading File:Jackie robinson signature.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. 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 Wikipedia (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 "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. FileBot ( talk) 22:56, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
Are you going to go again? I'm interested in helping. I came here without knowing about whatever non-free issues there are. I was the one who took it to GA. Anyways, what's the latest? - Peregrine Fisher ( talk) ( contribs) 07:48, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
BillTunell. Thank you for the major upgrade in the Texas A&M Userbox {{ user aggie}}. While I personally am not going to give you problems over it, image policy/ fair use policy on wikipedia is pretty brutal. are you sure we are allowed to put up a trademarked image in college userboxes?
