License tagging for Image:MG 0045.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:MG 0045.JPG. 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:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

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. 03:08, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Autobiography

Hello Doug, I see that you have created an autobiography, Doug Pruden. Please note that Wikipedia strongly discourages the creation of one's own biography. Whilst it is not forbidden, it is very difficult to write about oneself from a Neutral Point of View. Please take this into consideration, and also have a look at the notes on autobiographies at WP:AUTO. -- DancingMan 03:09, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Can you also please change "is 44 years of age" to the date of birth so there would be no need to fix it every year. Thanks! mixer 02:41, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

I reorganized the whole article and added a few titles (like training) that I hope you will write about. Thanks againg! mixer 03:00, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Don't sign articles

Press up

This article had material about you removed by an editor due to lack of references. I looked at the Guiness site and can't find your record, just one by Doyle. Do you have a good citation (an online link that works, or a reference to the year and page number of the print edition) to Guiness for your own record or records, so that they can be re-added to the article? Thanks Edison (talk) 21:54, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Autobiographical concerns

Hi Doug Pruden, concerns about writing your autobiography on Wikipedia were expressed here years ago. I've removed your most recent edits, and explained why in the edit summaries. I've also requested further assistance here [1]. Please refrain from editing articles in which you have a conflict of interest, per WP:COI. As well, any content that's added without a WP:RELIABLE source will be deleted. Thanks, 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 22:05, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Also, feel free to post on the article talk pages addressing any changes you'd like to see or suggest. We will gladly work with you to incorporate these contributions, so long as they abide by Wikipedia guidelines and policy. Meatsgains (talk) 17:57, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
