Not enough cats on Wikipedia
Hi Jerry. I saw your note on Talk:Elizabeth Zimmermann and wanted to offer some advice. As you rightly anticipated, the article you added is a prime candidate for deletion. If you want to work on a draft without fear of deletion, one way to do this is on a subpage of your user page, e.g. User:Jerryg/Elizabeth Zimmermann. When you are done, you could normally do a page move to Elizabeth Zimmermann, but not in this case since you've already created an article there (you'll have to ask an admin to delete the current article first). Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Mike Dillon 16:22, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi again. I put the article into a minimal wiki style and added an external link to a tribute article about Elizabeth, so it shouldn't get deleted now. Have fun expanding the article and remember to provide references! Mike Dillon 17:06, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi Jerry. To avoid infringing on copyright, generally all you need to do is write original text and cite your sources. Since all you should be taking from Schoolhouse Press is facts about Elizabeth and the business, you should be fine as long as you cite them as a source and don't copy their text directly. Wikipedia:Copyrights has more information, but here's a nice excerpt:
Hope that helps. Mike Dillon 15:17, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
I ask you to stop calling User:Waya sahoni Jeff. His identity is not relevant to the discussions, Jeff Merkey was never banned, and we can leave Waya's motivations out of it, however transparent. Continuing calling him Jeff is tantamount to baiting and could be construed as WP:PA. Let's solve any disputes over the article as close to Wiki guidelines and policies as we can. -- MJ( ☎| @| C) 07:13, 5 March 2006 (UTC).
See WP:ARBCOM for the details. Waya sahoni 04:10, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
You need to avoid posting about other editors public figured without facts and posting these types of allegations. This material certainly was not relevant to the article in question. Asgaya Gigagei 06:54, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Please stop posting allegations and personal attacks against other users.

Thanks for uploading Image:EZwedding.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 Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia'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 Wikipedia are
open content,
public domain, and
fair use. Find the appropriate template in
Wikipedia: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, or ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. A dmrb♉ltz ( T | C | k) 05:38, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Way cool. Southern Pacific 4449 needs a good side shot or two (one of which could be used in the infobox instead of the head-on shot that should really be farther down in the text, probably in the "1981 to the present" section that mentions Railfair '91 where I took the photo; that's just the only suitable photo I had that I had taken myself). I don't know about uploading such a large video here, and due to its size, I would hesitate putting it into the External links section (don't want to blow your bandwidth quota); I haven't watched it yet, but I will take a closer look at home tonight. We've gotten the article up to Good article status, it'd be great if we could get it Featured. I look forward to reading the two new articles. Slambo (Speak) 14:49, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
Great start on SP&S 700. I've made a couple minor updates to the text and added a couple categories (but commented them out so the draft isn't listed there yet). I've probably got some additional reference material in my personal library; I'll see what I can find this weekend when I'm not working on our model railroad (I'm currently building a 7-lap helix).

You weren't adding anything to the discussion. You were trolling. There is nothing wrong with removing trolling. If you want to discuss specific issues with the page's content, go right ahead. If you want to whine, find another site to do it on. -- InShaneee 16:46, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:EZwedding.JPG. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [email protected].
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ~ Rob13 Talk 22:06, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
