Fair use rationale for File:Jean-Louis Freedom.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Jean-Louis Freedom.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will 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. J Milburn (talk) 19:10, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Multi sporting events calendars

Hey what is your opinion on the following issue: Should the word "ceremonies" be centralized on calendars, such as the 2008 summer paralympics calendar? I am having a dispute and would like to hear you opinion on here [1]. You created the calendar for the summer paralympics and left the word centralized can you expalin your reasoning there as well. I am for centralizing the word, because ceremonies are not a medal event, and therefore should be centralized and distinguished from medal events. Thank you.

Leroy Mendonca

Hello

Thank you for correcting your article on Leroy Mendonca. However someone else has put the mis-information back up. Can you help? I guess there is some confusion, perhaps because of the picture of Mrs Gibbons on the USNS Mendonca. In it you see my wife's mother at the helm. The Filipino woman is Kathy Mall my wifes cousin. Her father was Filipino not Leroy.

Of course my wife and I are older and do not understand how to use the system on wikipedia. Can you help? The new gentlemen believes he has the correct facts and states the facts are the facts. We don't wish to call the references, newspaper and congressmen to have the false statements corrected. So please help us.

Thank you

Template:Contradict section

I notice you recently changed {{Contradict section}} to a redirect, saying that it's redundant. While that's not quite true since it's actually equivalent to typing {{Contradict|section}} rather than just {{Contradict}}, when I went to look at what transcluded it in case anything important was affected, I found a grand total of one transclusion, which I just fixed. What I'm wondering is if you think we should just send {{Contradict section}} to RfD. The edit history is trivial, and it's probably better to encourage people towards using {{Contradict|section}}, which is really no more effort than typing {{Contradict section}}. Thoughts? – RobinHood70 ^talk 19:10, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

User:jwillbur/TemplateList

FYI, I've reverted your template list to an older version because with your last edit to the page caused a large number of the templates to be transcluded, and the page added to a lot of maintenance categories.--Jac16888 ^Talk 01:42, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, I have fixed it. — jwillbur 01:44, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Medal of Honor recipients

Thanks for your continued work on the Medal of Honor recipients. I was going to build a list of all the recipients that need images and see if I can get some from various sources. Before I created one though I thought I would ask you if you already had one I could use since you have added a lot of images. --Kumioko (talk) 14:21, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
