File copyright problem with File:Glencoe 004.jpg
![File Copyright problem](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/64px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
Thank you for uploading File:Glencoe 004.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Polly (Parrot) 20:30, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

F.O.C. Darley
Thanks for finding a source on F. O. C. Darley's birth date. Any idea why his grave info would be incorrect? His headstone is carved with "1821" as his birth year. Could the book source you added be the wrong one? --Midnightdreary (talk) 13:55, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
- Its a great question. Printed word or carved in stone? I'm more inclined to go with the printed word since it included the actual birth month and year. Do you agree?Ksk2875 Talk 20:03, 19 Aug 2011 (UTC)
Edit warring
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f1/Stop_hand_nuvola.svg/30px-Stop_hand_nuvola.svg.png)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.
In particular, the three-revert rule states that:
- Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. OhNoitsJamie Talk 19:51, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Request reason:
I added information to Richard Nixon's page that was very relevant to his unprecedented resignation and the only time in history an air force jet changed its call sign during mid-flight. I have not nor would not add anything inappropriate to this site.
Decline reason:
You are not blocked for the content of your edits; you have been blocked for edit warring. --jpgordon::==( o ) 03:40, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
License tagging for File:Politics at an Oyster House.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Politics at an Oyster House.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) 04:06, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
License tagging for File:Politics at an Oyster House.jpg
Thanks for your message. The artist died in 1855 and therefore in the public domain since the artist died more than 100 years ago. What else should I do to accurately properly indicate this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ksk2875 (talk • contribs) 01:32, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
- User:Ww2censor has made the changes needed, by adding the {{PD-old}} tag to the image. --Carnildo (talk) 22:10, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
Image tagging for File:Peach Blossom Vase.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Peach Blossom Vase.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.
To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Non-free rationale for File:2011 Chistmas Stamp Raphael.jpg
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/64px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:2011 Chistmas Stamp Raphael.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 00:15, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Ksk2875, I have deleted the article you created at Saul Tepper. The majority of the work was directly copied from here, word for word. Looking at previous warnings on this page, there appears to a pattern of this type of activity.

Files missing description details
are missing a description and/or other details on their image description pages. If possible, please add this information. This will help other editors make better use of the images, and they will be more informative to readers.
If the information is not provided, the images may eventually be proposed for deletion, a situation which is not desirable, and which can easily be avoided.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. --John (talk) 12:04, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Discussion regarding the titles of the Faberge egg articles
There is a discussion taking place on the talk page of the article Red Cross with Triptych egg (discussion located here) regarding how we should title that article and the other articles on the various Faberge eggs. Since you appear to have been involved in the creation and/or significant writing of at least one of these articles, you may have some thoughts to share on the topic.

Alice Walton
Hi! Seeing that you have made constructive edits to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in the past, I wonder if you would be interested at reviewing this edit request for the Art section of Alice Walton, the art collector and museum's chairwoman. I will not direct edit the page because I have a Wikipedia:Conflict of interest, which I disclosed on my user page and declared on Talk:Alice Walton. I created a proposed update that tidies up the existing content and includes appropriate sourcing. I appreciate any help from the community to review and update the section if they agree.
