Please do not add commercial links (or links to your own private websites) to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. If you feel the link should be added to the article please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thanks. -- GraemeL (talk) 14:23, 27 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Regarding Battelle, John edit

Thanks for your addition of Battelle, John. However, this person already has an article at John Battelle. I have added your information to the talk page of that article for the use of future editors of that article. I was going to merge Battelle, John to this page anyway, because of the naming conventions we follow here. Feel free to edit John Battelle as you wish. Jpeob 12:18, 9 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Skyscape edit

I appreciate your creating the article on skyscapes, and I appreciate your clarification that skyscape is not synonymous with cloudscape, since a skyscape does not necessarily include clouds.

However, I think you over-generalized in writing that a skyscape usually doesn't include clouds, and that if it does, the clouds are kept to a minimum. This is simply untrue of the word "skyscape" as commonly used. If you do a Google image search for the word "skyscape", you will find that the vast majority of images which people call "skyscapes" are in fact cloudscapes; in fact, clouds typically dominate these images. Cloudless skyscapes are the exception, not the rule, among images which people call "skyscapes". MdArtLover (talk) 15:51, 26 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use File:Juli Lynne Charlot with replica of first Poodle Skirt.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Juli Lynne Charlot with replica of first Poodle Skirt.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

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 (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 14:48, 26 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for April 27 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Juli Lynne Charlot, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Stole and Michael O'Shea (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
