Looks good to me! - Eb.hoop (talk) 09:03, 24 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Precious edit

scientists

Thank you for quality articles such as Josiah Willard Gibbs, an "eminent scientist", based on scientific background, for beginning your "career" here with expanding, quotes and anecdotes, for a minimal user page that made me smile, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Sims edit

Offprints as we know them did not exist in the nineteenth century. Someone affluent like Sims could have his writings reprinted, at his own expense, to give out. It would be really extraordinary if a medical journal contained the list of his honors that is on the title page. (I hope you don’t make me have to find the journal to document this.) Whoever published them, it is a lust he made himself. deisenbe (talk) 00:05, 29 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

The original article wasn't hard to find: [1]. You're right that there the byline is just "J. Marion Sims, M.D. New York". I therefore accept your argument that the list of titles was provided by Sims himself. - Eb.hoop (talk) 00:24, 29 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable non-free use File:Tristancanc.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Tristancanc.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Vanjagenije (talk) 23:59, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
