License tagging for File:Rosenheim 1860 A.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Rosenheim 1860 A.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) 14:12, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Invitation to wikiFeed

Hello Lkingscott,

I'm part of a team that is researching ways to help Wikipedia editors find interesting content to contribute to Wikipedia. More specifically, we are investigating whether content from news sources can be used to enhance Wikipedia editing. We have created a tool, called wikiFeed, that allows you to specify Twitter and/or RSS feeds from news sources that are interesting to you. wikiFeed then helps you make connections between those feeds and Wikipedia articles. We believe that using this tool may be a lot of fun, and may help you come up with some ideas on how to contribute to Wikipedia in ways that interest you. Please participate! To do so, complete this survey and follow this link to our website. Once you're there, click the "create an account" link to get started.

For more information about wikiFeed, visit our project page. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask via my talk page, or by email at wikifeedcc@gmail.com. We appreciate your time and hope you enjoy playing with wikiFeed!

Thanks! Jeremey Bentham (talk) 21:04, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Codename Lisa. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Ribbon (computing), 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. Thank you.

Disambiguation link notification for April 7

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Altomünster, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Weingarten and Altdorf. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

December 2017

Your recent editing history at Telegram (messaging service) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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. Codename Lisa (talk) 10:31, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation policy

Lkingscott, it appears you're not really aware of WP:Disambiguation policy. We don't add hatnotes to articles where there is no confusion about the subject. Telegram (album) and Telegram (messaging service) are not ambiguously titled, because they already have disambiguated titles with "album" and "messaging service" respectively. You quoted "A hatnote may be appropriate in an unambiguously named article when an ambiguous term redirects to it" on the Telegram (messaging service) article, but nothing redirects to that title on Wikipedia. What Google links to is irrelevant, because its search results still show "messaging service" in the title. As Codename Lisa directed you to in a summary, read WP:NAMB. Please revert the hatnotes you added to various telegram-related articles or another editor will do it for you. Thanks. Ss112 10:47, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Whoa. You are doing it on other articles too? Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

Anyway, I came here to say I created a discussion topic in Talk:Telegram (messaging service) to settle the dispute between you and Codename Lisa. She asked for my third opinion.

FleetCommand (Speak your mind!) 10:56, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

OK, sorry, I did read the Hatnoteand my understanding was that a hatnote was appropriate. The reversions were made anonymously, so I did not know with whom to discuss the matter. I will refrain from doing this further, but it infuriates me when I'm trying to find a particular article and I come to such articles as this with no disambiguation hatnote to quickly navigate to my intended destination. I therefore disagree with Wiki policy in this matter, but I will not continue to argue the matter.

As mentioned, when I search Google for Telegram, this article is the top hit. The article on telegram / trlegraph is way down the hit list. This often happens. Disambiguation hatnotes are really useful to get quickly to my desired article. Lkingscott (talk) 21:18, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Wizard Roadsters moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Wizard Roadsters, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. scope_creep^Talk 10:35, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Wizard Roadsters

Hello, Lkingscott. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Wizard Roadsters, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 11:02, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Wizard Roadsters

Hello, Lkingscott. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Wizard Roadsters".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 17:39, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

Recent edit reversion

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick(Talk) 11:48, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Can you be more specific on the copyright infringement? Lkingscott (talk) 15:07, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

You appear to have deleted what I had entered, so I cannot even revue the roll back.

The information is open source and a useful update, although maybe I cut and paste too much of the Guardian text without editing. Is that your issue? Lkingscott (talk) 15:14, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
