Birmingham disambiguation

Hello I've noticed you've made a lot of edits to the Birmingham, Alabama article, so I assume you come from that part of the world. There has recently been a discussion on the Talk:Birmingham page about whether there should be a direct link to Birmingham, AL at the top of the Birmingham page or whether there should just be a link to a disambig page. I wondered If you had any opinions on the matter? G-Man 5 July 2005 18:18 (UTC)

Image:106 KMEL.gif

Hi, you uploaded Image:106 KMEL.gif, I listed it on WP:IFD because it has been obsoleted by Image:106 KMEL.png. Zcrayfish 14:58, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

About List of Urban-Formatted Radio Stations across the United States

You blanked out the page on your last edit. I'm assuming it was a mistake. Anyways i've revrted the page to your last version before the blanking. --Gaurav Arora 14:43, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

The Birmingham News

I have a copy of their 100th Anniversary book which has a history. Unfortunately I'm going to be pretty busy for the next few weeks. I might get a decent stub in place. If you don't find a capsule history online, the newspaper might be able to email or fax one to you as a starting place, or, failing that, the Birmingham Public Library would have anything you need.

Cut-and-paste moves

Hi, you used a cut-and-paste move to move Callsign to Call Letters. Please don't do cut-and-paste moves, as it separates the article from its history, which we need to keep for Misplaced Pages:Copyright reasons. I will fix this one - have you done any others? In this case, since you didn't move the Talk: page, we now have two separate talk pages going: Talk:Callsign and Talk:Call Letters, and I'm not quite sure how to fix that. Please use WP:RM for help with moves if the "Move this page" link/tab doesn't work. Thanks! Noel (talk) 02:30, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

PS: I don't usually check other User_talk: pages (so that I don't have to monitor a whole long list of User_Talk: pages - one for each person with whom I am having a "conversation"), so please leave any messages for me on my talk page (above); if you leave a message for me here I probably will not see it. I know not everyone uses this style (they would rather keep all the text of a thread in one place), but I simply can't monitor all the User_talk: pages I leave messages on. Thanks!

TV Station "brands"

The Misplaced Pages Manual of Style says that bolding in an article's introduction is for any redirects to that article. If you are going to bold the station's brand in the introduction, you need to also create a redirect from the brand to the station article. My personal opinion is that people will probably not be searching for the article by the station's brand, so the redirect is unnecessary and you should just have the station's brand within quote marks. I will, however, leave that as your choice to either create the redirects or eliminate the bolding for the station brands that you have been adding to television station articles.

Infobox radio

Just a quick note to say that I have replied to your message on Template talk:Infobox radio. --Marknew 21:16, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

A quick note to highlight the fact that I have tried to address the points you made today on Template talk:Infobox radio. --Marknew 15:59, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Memphis skyline from the air.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Memphis skyline from the air.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Misplaced Pages (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, ie in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{gfdl}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairuse}}.) See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. --Kaldari 19:32, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Edit summary

Hello. Please remember to always provide an edit summary. Thanks and happy editing. Alphax  02:14, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Copyrighted material

I've noticed that your history additions to WDAS-FM and WPPZ-FM read way too much like the material from this site. As a result, I've removed the history sections. You can resore them as long as they are worded in a way which doesn't infringe on the site's copyright. ErikNY 21:39, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

KTVX

You have received this message because you have edited a Salt Lake City media article in the past. We have recently had an edit war regarding the wording and inclusion of a paragraph on the KTVX article. In hopes of resolving this I have put together an informal survey. If you are interested, please stop by Talk:KTVX and add a vote. Thanks, A 09:05, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

WFOX-FM new logo

Go to the official web page, which is still http://www.971jamz.com. I went there just a while ago and found the new River logo. Can you upload it and put it in to the WFOX (FM) article?? Georgia guy 19:26, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Image:WMATArailmap.pdf has been listed for deletion

List of shopping malls in the United States

Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 0% for major edits and 44% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 9 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 01:31, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Arlington Antebellum House.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Arlington Antebellum House.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Misplaced Pages (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Dethomas 22:37, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Section titles

• I notice you've been reverting the AWB bot's changes to section headings. Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (headings)#Capitalisation indicates that when creating headings, one should "Capitalise the first letter of the first word and any proper nouns in headings, but leave the rest lower case." It seems that if you differ with the stated style guidelines it would be more productive to contribute to the discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:Manual of Style (headings) than to just follow the bot around reverting. --Dystopos 01:50, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:GreenvilleSC skyline night.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:GreenvilleSC skyline night.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Misplaced Pages because of copyright law (see Misplaced Pages's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Misplaced Pages are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Stan 03:12, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Map

I'm interested in making a image similar to Image:Birmingham in Jefferson County Map.png. How did you make the picture of Lee County with the city boundries delineated, or where did you find it? --Ttownfeen 05:44, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Flag of Birmingham, Alabama

I re-drew the Flag of Birmingham and uploaded it at Image:Flag of Birmingham, Alabama.png. Some caveats about the design are listed in the image description. I also created an article about the flag. After that I replaced the .jpg version that you uploaded in the various places it was linked and listed it on Misplaced Pages:Images and media for deletion/2006 May 18. --Dystopos 04:36, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
