Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Glen Glass, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Riverdale, Maryland (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Good Afternoon!

My name is Merissa [username: Merimoocoww], and I am currently experimenting with editing Wiki pages because of a graduate class I am taking at American University. I am a new participant in the Maryland WikiProject and I have experience editing other articles related to Maryland including Montgomery County’s page, White Ferry and the article on Fulton, Maryland. Please let me know if there is anything I can do

Kathy Szeliga

Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Kathy Szeliga. The community has decided that all new biographies of living persons must contain a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article as per our verifiability policy. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:10, 13 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Notification of automated file description generation

edit

Your upload of File:Bradyanderson.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

  Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Baltimore City College may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "<>"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

  • Board of School Commissioners on a small narrow by-way of what was then called Courtland Street (now on the east side of [[St. Paul Street (Baltimore)|Saint Paul Street/Place]]. "The High School"

New Page for Baltimore City College Boys Basketball

Thanks so much! The content became much more of a weekend project than I expected. Happy to do the leg work though! I fully intended to create a main page for the subject this week. Thanks for doing that! Amerikasmuse (talk) 22:23, 10 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Torrey C. Brown.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Torrey C. Brown.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 23:19, 1 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Nomination of Ambre Anderson for deletion

edit
 

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Ambre Anderson is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ambre Anderson until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. CutOffTies (talk) 19:49, 9 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Ambre Anderson article in your userpage

edit

Per WP:FAKEARTICLE, can you please state if this under development? If not it is content that has been deleted from the mainspace and should not be kept in your userpage. Thanks --CutOffTies (talk) 23:19, 27 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hello again, I take it you received my earlier message since you put the draft template on the page. However, given that you haven't replied to me nor updated the page in any way, I still don't see how this is not a WP:FAKEARTICLE and eligible for deletion. Do you have a response? Thank you --CutOffTies (talk) 04:56, 3 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Question on File:Larry E. Haines (2008).jpg

edit

Hi Marylandstater... I hope you are well. Would you by any chance have a larger version or the metadata for File:Larry E. Haines (2008).jpg, that you uploaded in 2009? I know it's a while ago, but the same image was deleted from Commons as an alleged copyright violation, and before I move it over, I'd be grateful for any clarification you could provide. Cheers, Storkk (talk) 16:10, 11 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
