License tagging for Image:Experimental Station DuPont.png edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Experimental Station DuPont.png. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 15:06, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Copyright status of Thomas M. Connelly edit

  Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Thomas M. Connelly. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites (http://www2.dupont.com/Our_Company/en_US/executives/connelly.html in this case) or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

  • If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
  • If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Thomas M. Connelly with a link to where we can find that note;
  • If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:Thomas M. Connelly with a link to the details.

Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a {{hangon}} tag on the article page and leave a note at Talk:Thomas M. Connelly saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action.

It is also important that all Wikipedia articles have an encyclopedic tone and follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

File permission problem with File:DuPont Experimental Station.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:DuPont Experimental Station.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ukexpat (talk) 20:39, 15 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

William Dale Phillips edit

Nice work on the article, just a comment about the references. The article has 17 refs for one thing his contribution to NMR and zero references for any of the other stuff in the article. That's rather imbalanced - those 17 refs should probably be reduced to the top 3 or 4 and references found for the rest of the article. Happy to help if you want. – ukexpat (talk) 17:21, 20 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

I just removed the link to the placeholder image as use of placeholders is now discouraged. – ukexpat (talk) 21:07, 21 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Copyright problem: William Dale Phillips edit

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as William Dale Phillips, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a copy from http://www.nap.edu/html/biomems/wphillips.pdf, and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to be blocked from editing.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:William Dale Phillips saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! VernoWhitney (talk) 02:42, 28 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Earl Muetterties edit

Hello. I'm currently 'Wikifying' the Earl Muetterties page. I was wondering about this detail. "In 1995, NMR spectroscopy was in its nascent stages." I think the date must be incorrect. Could you check that with your source? Thanks.--Nihola (talk) 00:52, 4 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

That was purely a typo. Littelinfo (talk) 16:14, 26 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

DuPont Historic Corridor edit

I've taken note of the DuPont Historic Corridor article. It looks good so far. I'm just wondering who named it this? State of Delaware? DuPont Corp? Including this would certainly help the article. Smallbones (talk) 02:15, 26 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

I will look for a citation on the name. It has been mentioned at the Delaware Historical Society. Pictures of more of the sites will follow shortly as soon as the gray sky disappears. Littelinfo (talk) 16:14, 26 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

How is it chosen who reviews what? The two you are looking at are rather different, but not as different as my Gymnosporangium juniperi-virginianae contribution. I am most proud of DuPont Central Research, but one of my favorite parts - discussing what it was like as a function of decade - was deleted for lack of references. It was the result of a discussion I had with some old timers - some now dead - that showed how times had changed in a research organization as well as society in general. It was all true and documented in Dupont's files but way beyong the research I would be willing to do. Maybe when I retire. Littelinfo (talk) 16:25, 26 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:Bush at DuPont.jpg edit

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en wikimedia.org.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Longwood Gardens, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Victoria.
