Thanks for uploading File:Heilmann origin of birds.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. Armbrust Talk Contribs 19:59, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

This is to notify you that a request to clarify the terms of Remedy 5.1 of the Race and Intelligence arbitration case has been made and a motion which may affect you has been filed here. For the Arbitration Committee, Roger Davies talk 03:59, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
By vote at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification, a majority of the Arbitration Committee has voted to amend the above case:
That the following replace the terms in Remedy 5.1:
- Editors reminded and discretionary sanctions (amended)
- 5.2) Both experienced and new editors contributing to articles relating to the area of conflict (namely, the intersection of race/ethnicity and human abilities and behaviour, broadly construed) are reminded that this is a highly contentious subject and are cautioned that to avoid disruption they must adhere strictly to fundamental Wikipedia policies, including but not limited to: maintaining a neutral point of view; avoiding undue weight; carefully citing disputed statements to reliable sources; and avoiding edit-warring and incivility.
- To enforce the foregoing, Standard discretionary sanctions are authorized for any editor making any edit relating to the area of conflict anywhere on Wikipedia.
- Sanctions may not be imposed for edits made prior to the passing of this motion but warnings may be given and should be logged appropriately.
- All sanctions imposed under the original remedy shall continue in full force.
On behalf of the Arbitration Committee, Salvio Let's talk about it! 11:46, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi,

Hey, thanks for working on a new image! My thinking on the subject of arm feathers in large dromies isn't that they shouldn't be pennaceous (they certainly should), but that they'd more likely IMO lack the closed, zip-up vanes found in basal forms. Not that it would be impossible for them to have had closed-vaned feathers, but I'm just having trouble thinking of a reason for their retention. Modern ratites all have very large pennaceous feathers for both, display, aerodynamics when running, and shade/cooling. However none have retained the closed-vaned feathers of their ancestors, despite apparently having lost flight multiple times. My off the cuff educated guess is that this is due to the high maintenance cost of vaned feathers, extra preening to keep them zipped and free of parasites, etc. While dromies have extra tools in their arsenals (namely teeth, obviously they couldn't preen their remiges with their wing claws), based on living birds it doesn't seem like closed-vaned feathers are necessary for display--the degraded vanes of ostriches do just fine. I'd say give them whatever kind of feathers you like if you have a different reasoning (retention for the iridescent color-producing effects maybe?), but personally I'd choose ratite-style as I did with my image of Achillobator. Since Deinonychus is much, much smaller I think a lot more leeway can be given there (though it is still in Rhea-Emu territory weight wise). EDIT Oh, and I think kiwi-like body feathers are a safe bet, though Microraptor and Anchiornis and even Archaeopteryx do seem to have pennaceous contour feathers over some parts of the body (hips and legs in Archie, not specified in my Micro and Anchie descriptions).

I understand, you worked hard to create that Utahraptor restoration just for that article, so I won't ruin your hard work. In my opinion, which you dont have to heed, you should have made the color a lot less bland. Why'd you make it muddy brown when it could have been any other color? In the small thumbnail pic in the article it just looks like a silhouette. Also, putting feathers all the way down to the end of its snout makes it look cute, contrary to the ferocious predator it likely was. Otherwise, good job. I could never create a drawing like that, so maybe I shouldn't be talking. Cadiomals ( talk) 23:00, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Specimens of Archaeopteryx requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
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 verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. 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, 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 Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
