Oregon AFL-CIO

Thanks for writing an excellent article on the AFL-CIO. I cleaned it up a bit today and noticed it kind of reads like an advertisement for the union. If you are at all involved with the union, you might check out Wikipedia's policy on conflict of interest. But if you think you can tweak that introduction to make it more neutral-sounding (some might consider "right wing" as not reflecting a neutral point of view), that would be swell. Thanks and happy editing! Katr67 05:31, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Oregon afl-cio logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Oregon afl-cio logo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 19:12, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Image without license

Unspecified source for Image:Ilwu war protest 200px.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ilwu war protest 200px.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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. 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 specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:22, 20 July 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? --MifterBot ^{(Talk • Contribs • Owner)} 01:22, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

February 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Rite Aid appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe our core policies. Thank you. Ranma9617 (talk) 01:52, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

April 2009

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Francis J. Murnane a different title by copying its content and pasting it into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Once the proper named page is deleted (should be within an hour or so), then go back to the old title where the text has been restored and select "move" from the tabs at the top. In the proper spot add the correct name, make sure to check the "move associated talk page" (but wait and make sure the other talk page was deleted too), then add a summary, and then save. That will take care of it. If you have problems or need help, let me know. Aboutmovies (talk) 08:29, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes, always put them at the bottom. Though on the second one, indent one "tab" by starting with a ":" which you can see how that goes by clicking the edit button for this post of mine just to see the code. Aboutmovies (talk) 08:42, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Looks like its all done, someone else took care of the move. Aboutmovies (talk) 08:50, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Feel free to copy and paste into the page. The copy and pasting is a problem only when moving material from one part of Wikipedia to another part of Wikipedia. This has to do with licensing issues and attribution as well as keeping track of who wrote what in general. If you need the info from the old page, you can check with an admin and have them restore the deleted version into your userspace. Aboutmovies (talk) 11:20, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

However, I will note that copying and pasting material, which I assume you are working on in a text editing program, over edits that have improved the Wikipedia-style formatting make people like me rather grumpy when I have to go back and fix it again. It's better to retype the changes you wish to make rather than "stomping on" previous improvements with a copy and paste. Katr67 (talk) 17:49, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 09:21, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Calling your attention to talkpage discussions

I'm not sure if you are also 98.246.181.244 (talk · contribs) when not logged in, but I wanted to make sure you had seen all the posts about the Murnane article: Talk:Francis J. Murnane#Roundup of posts about this article. Thanks. Katr67 (talk) 18:04, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Afl ballot volunteers.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Afl ballot volunteers.jpg, which you've sourced to Oregon AFL-CIO staff. 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-enwikimedia.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 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-enwikimedia.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:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File 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. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 23:28, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
