hi dawson,
do you have any idea what subspecies this may be? thanks :) -- Sarefo 21:55, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Bakersfield High School.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. – Zedla ( talk) 05:14, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
Hello, this is a message from
an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
Sistrurus catetanus, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because
Sistrurus catetanus is a redirect page resulting from an implausible typo (
CSD R3).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
Sistrurus catetanus, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at
WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the
bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click

A tag has been placed on Image:Jeremy Wright.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.
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 [[ Talk:Image:Jeremy Wright.jpg|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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

Hi Dawson, Good to see you're still around. Thanks very much for your support regarding the Calabar Python article move. After receiving some criticism for the way I moved many of the python articles last year, I wanted to do things by the book this time with the Boidae section. It's less stressful, but it certainly requires more patience.
Wanting to do a thorough job, however, I ran into this page -- Sand boa -- the other day. Apparently, you created it yourself back in February 2006. To avoid repeating information found elsewhere, would you be opposed to the idea of splitting it up and merging its contents with Erycinae, Eryx and Gongylophis? I figure sand boa should then make an effective disambiguation page. Cheers, -- Jwinius ( talk) 11:04, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article AMÍ Cat, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{
dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

File:AMI Cat.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a

orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. 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 Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).

Hi! I'm serving as the wikipedian-in-residence at the Smithsonian Institution Archives until June! One of my goals as resident, is to work with Wikipedians and staff to improve content on Wikipedia about people who have collections held in the Archives - most of these are scientists who held roles within the Smithsonian and/or federal government. I thought you might like to participate since you are interested in the sciences! Sign up to participate here and dive into articles needing expansion and creation on our to-do list. Feel free to make a request for images or materials at the request page, and of course, if you share your successes at the outcomes page you will receive the SIA barnstar! Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to your participation! Sarah ( talk) 19:55, 16 April 2012 (UTC) |
Hi,
The slender glass lizard picture you contributed is actually not an ophisaurus I don't believe. The slender looks a lot like the eastern glass lizard. I think your picture is probably a Russian legless lizard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Millmoss27 ( talk • contribs) 14:20, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I've been working on a small game built around animal quizzes and I wanted to let you know I've used one of your pictures.
I found your picture here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Eunectes_murinus2.jpg
And I attributed the picture like this: LA Dawson with this link: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Dawson and also added a link to the license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/deed.en
I hope you're happy with it, please let me know if this is not the case. You can find the game here: http://apps.facebook.com/animalalbum
Regards, Garfunkel Jansen
P.S. Thanks for taking the picture and making it available. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Garfunkel Jansen ( talk • contribs) 22:17, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Bakersfield High School.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. – Zedla ( talk) 05:14, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
Hello, this is a message from
an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
Sistrurus catetanus, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because
Sistrurus catetanus is a redirect page resulting from an implausible typo (
CSD R3).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
Sistrurus catetanus, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at
WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the
bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click

A tag has been placed on Image:Jeremy Wright.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.
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 [[ Talk:Image:Jeremy Wright.jpg|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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

Hi Dawson, Good to see you're still around. Thanks very much for your support regarding the Calabar Python article move. After receiving some criticism for the way I moved many of the python articles last year, I wanted to do things by the book this time with the Boidae section. It's less stressful, but it certainly requires more patience.
Wanting to do a thorough job, however, I ran into this page -- Sand boa -- the other day. Apparently, you created it yourself back in February 2006. To avoid repeating information found elsewhere, would you be opposed to the idea of splitting it up and merging its contents with Erycinae, Eryx and Gongylophis? I figure sand boa should then make an effective disambiguation page. Cheers, -- Jwinius ( talk) 11:04, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article AMÍ Cat, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{
dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

File:AMI Cat.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a

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 Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).

Hello Dawson! Thank you for your contributions. I am a
bot notifying you on behalf of the
the unreferenced biographies team that 2 of the articles that you created are currently tagged as
Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The
biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure
verifiability, all biographies should be based on
reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current
876 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{
unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:
Thanks!-- DASHBot ( talk) 07:46, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi! I'm serving as the wikipedian-in-residence at the Smithsonian Institution Archives until June! One of my goals as resident, is to work with Wikipedians and staff to improve content on Wikipedia about people who have collections held in the Archives - most of these are scientists who held roles within the Smithsonian and/or federal government. I thought you might like to participate since you are interested in the sciences! Sign up to participate here and dive into articles needing expansion and creation on our to-do list. Feel free to make a request for images or materials at the request page, and of course, if you share your successes at the outcomes page you will receive the SIA barnstar! Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to your participation! Sarah ( talk) 19:55, 16 April 2012 (UTC) |
Hi,
The slender glass lizard picture you contributed is actually not an ophisaurus I don't believe. The slender looks a lot like the eastern glass lizard. I think your picture is probably a Russian legless lizard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Millmoss27 ( talk • contribs) 14:20, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I've been working on a small game built around animal quizzes and I wanted to let you know I've used one of your pictures.
I found your picture here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Eunectes_murinus2.jpg
And I attributed the picture like this: LA Dawson with this link: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Dawson and also added a link to the license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/deed.en
I hope you're happy with it, please let me know if this is not the case. You can find the game here: http://apps.facebook.com/animalalbum
Regards, Garfunkel Jansen
P.S. Thanks for taking the picture and making it available. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Garfunkel Jansen ( talk • contribs) 22:17, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
