Hello, I'm Theroadislong. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the page Mattie Blaylock, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Jesse James, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Theroadislong ( talk) 21:27, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Btphelps. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Bat Masterson, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. You've uploaded a number of images but have failed to establish the provenance or copyright of the images. Inadequate sources don't prove these images are valid nor that the image is pre-1923. Unfortunately the so-called Phillips Collection has not been vetted by authoritative third-party experts. Wikipedia cannot lend credence to images of dubious origins. — btphelps ( talk to me) ( what I've done) 18:15, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Osmond, to grant permission to use your photos on Wikipedia, you need to complete something called OTRS. This is explained here. In a nutshell, you need to grant permission using the guidelines here. If you don't complete this process, all of the photos will be deleted. Also, please note, that when you upload photos to WP, you are granting anyone permission to use them in any way they see fit. — btphelps ( talk to me) ( what I've done) 03:00, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi Osmond, to work around the possible COI, when you upload photos, you can make a list of them on your User page, and let me know. When I have time, I can add them to relevant articles. — btphelps ( talk to me) ( what I've done) 02:24, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
Hello BtPhelps, I appreciate your help. I will let you know when I add photos. The ones I have left are of very high profile people. I am waiting for final facial analysis before adding the photos. Just like the Jesse James and Wyatt Earp photo. people will dispute it and will be very angry if you say you have a photo of their Old West hero. I will be able to use the same forensics that are accepted in our court of law as evidence backing the images. OSMOND PHILLIPS ( talk) 01:56, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
Osmond, Happy Thanksgiving! I don't have access to the professionals who have supposedly reviewed all of the photos you are posting and pronounced them as genuine. But I have a serious issue with accepting that this image you uploaded (#1 below) is actually of Wyatt Earp. Of the many images of him that are well-established and have some kind of known provenance, the only faint resemblance between this new image and the other known images of him at various ages is his ears. They eyebrows, the hairline, the hair style, and hair part are all different. Furthermore, given the clothing style, I'd place this photo circa 1910, making Earp about 60 years old. The person in this image doesn't appear to be 60 years old, and when compared to known images of Earp at ages prior to and after the estimated date of your image, they don't compare very well:
I added three photos of Wyatt Earp comparisons as partial evidence that the Wyatt photos from the Phillips collection are actually of Wyatt.
I will be able to provide evidence from Photography and Facial Forensic professionals that the photo is of Wyatt Earp before the end of the year. It is circa 1885. I would prefer that you just take the photo down for now instead of deleting it from Wiki because it is hard to use the image again. I do not understand the process to re-instate photos. OSMOND PHILLIPS ( talk) 02:07, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
One of our articles on Wyatt Earp and a photograph has just been published on Historynet.com. A shorter version of the article has already been printed and will be out again in the February issue of Wild West magazine. The editor has already sent us copies. Search Wyatt Earp in Ellsworth to find it. The extended article with more photographs from the Phillips Collection pertaining to the event in Ellsworth in 1873 can be found at historyandmystery.net. Our facial analysis on the photo showed some consistencies in authenticated photos of Wyatt. We could not get higher results due to his ear not being clear enough. The editor and his panel of Earp historians could see the strong possibility of it being him and accepted the article. OSMOND PHILLIPS ( talk) 02:23, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
I think it's important to address the provenance of this issue because once the image is accepted and used on Wikipedia, it will acquire some legitimacy. There are other images of Earp not found on Wikipedia that also do not appear to match the image you recently uploaded. I have a serious issue with accepting at face value the unqualified determination that this image is of Wyatt Earp. The same could be same for many of the other images you've uploaded, though I am considerably less familiar with those western personas.
I'm not sure what the resolution is, but I guess in this instance I'd like to know who the "expert" is that came to the conclusion that image is of Wyatt Earp, what is that expert's background, and how that person came to that conclusion. — btphelps ( talk to me) ( what I've done) 04:31, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi OSMOND, if you completed the OTRS process, you need to let the editors know on the copyright discussion page.

OTRS process completed. OSMOND PHILLIPS ( talk) 03:26, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi OSMOND, a couple of housekeeping notes:
Your images as you know still lack credibility. Instead of fighting to prove the legitimacy of each image individually, which will consume a lot of time on an ongoing basis, you may consider how to prove the legitimacy of the collection first.

To add a category, open the image page. Go the very bottom of the page and click on the + sign after the word "Categories". Begin to type something descriptive, and you will see suggested categories begin to appear. For example, you can add geographical categories like "People from Kansas" or "Wild West".

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Billy the Kid. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 04:12, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for the information. Yes, I am a novice user. I have had this fight before with Jack DeMattos who got kicked off or suspended from Wiki for his major changes and removal of the same photographs.

I just learned what sock puppetry meant. Since you are defending it I had you confused with another user. I knew that DeMattos hated the photo and all the photos from the collection and I thought he had helper who was targeting the photos. I will slow down and read it again. Sorry for the comment. I don't understand all of the rules and terminology yet and probably never will entirely, but I do know photos. Thank you for believing in the photo of Tunstall.

US Banknote Contest | ||
---|---|---|
November-December 2019 | ||
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here |

I have had this fight before with Jack DeMattos who got kicked off or suspended from Wiki for his major changes and removal of the same photographs. I assume he has a new name or helper in user Winkelvi. OSMOND PHILLIPS ( talk) 04:22, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
I just learned what sock puppetry meant. Since you are defending it I had you confused with another user. I knew that DeMattos hated the photo and all the photos from the collection and I thought he had helper who was targeting the photos. I will slow down and read it again. Sorry for the comment. I don't understand all of the rules and terminology yet and probably never will entirely, but I do know photos. Thank you for believing in the photo of Tunstall.

This page should not be speedily deleted because... I put the resume of the Phillips Collection on my User page and talk page not knowing where the proper place to add it was. Evidence for the discussion on the John Tunstall photograph and the Phillips Collection. I will add the resume to the discussion page. I was concerned about its length. -- OSMOND PHILLIPS ( talk) 14:43, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at WP:ANI, you may be blocked from editing. Read the boomerang essay. By posting spam in full view of many administrators, you make a block likely. Robert McClenon ( talk) 16:10, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further notice the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Dat Guy Talk Contribs 17:15, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
What the hell, Robert McClenon and DatGuy? These two warnings look like level 3s, at least - which is overkill. This editor is a newbie who has no idea what he added at AN/I would be considered disruptive. Both of you are out of line with these overblown, bitey warnings. I know at least one of you knows better (or should). Please tone it down and back off. You're not helping, indeed, these warnings are what seem truly disruptive, in my opinion. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 06:39, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

US Banknote Contest | ||
---|---|---|
November-December 2019 | ||
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here |
