Hi. Just FYI, the [phttp://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Joyce_DeWitt&curid=350869&diff=508550047&oldid=503176525 hoto you removed] was not from the same set as the one in the Infobox. Nightscream ( talk) 15:16, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
Dear Leah, a couple of years ago we were in correspondence when you added several much-needed photos to an article I had created for The Holmes Brothers. I'm happy to see that you are still involved in such endeavors. Meanwhile I have fallen into the role of monitoring the article for The Wildhearts, which is a really old article that once had a whole bunch of photos from throughout the band's lengthy history. Well the non-free police slowly went to work over the years, and just today the very last photo in this article bit the dust. If you think anything can be done on behalf of this now very un-visual article, please correspond. Sincerely, -- DOOMSDAYER520 ( Talk| Contribs) 18:53, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

There's no bot, as far as I know, and I'm certainly no expert, but I'll try to help out. As far as I know, the rules are to use last or surnames of people and the first significant word for titles--discarding articles like a, an and the. Numbers may be either listed separately at the beginning, or stuck in the list as if they were spelled out. There's some kind of convention about Asian names where the surname may be listed first, but I generally depend on somebody else to sort that out for me. My first suggestion would be to set the list up in sections by letter, especially if it will be growing. Would you mind if I work on it directly? Pkeets ( talk) 16:34, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
Leah, I've been working on the John Fullbright article and can't believe that I don't have a picture of him in my personal collection. There's nothing in Commons either. I would appreciate any assistance you can provide, but understand that you may not have the time or inclination. Thank you for all your efforts here! :-) Kmzundel ( talk) 19:09, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Leah. I have undone the redirect, revived the article, and updated and sourced it. So Ruby Stewart now exists on its own. Anything you can do to add to it in terms of content or images will be welcome by all. Wasted Time R ( talk) 02:05, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi Leah - long established that we use British English for Cat Stevens, since he is British. Looks off to me too, but we need to be consistent and it's the only sensible way to make the cut. Tvoz/ talk 17:06, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I saw that you removed external links from Laura Nyro with the edit summary, "Moved all unused sources from External links, where they do NOT belong, to the talk page, where they DO belong." From my reading of WP:External links, I do not see any guidance that states external links must be used as sources; in fact, it is clear to me from the guidance and examples in WP:EL that external links do not have to be used as sources in the subject article. Therefore, I plan to revert your edit to Laura Nyro and restore those external links. If you think any of the individual links do not meet the criteria specified in WP:EL, or meet the criteria of links to be avoided, feel free to delete those individual external links. Thanks -- hulmem ( talk) 22:05, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I'm fairly new to Wikipedia and mainly sniff around looking for typos to correct. I have a question that's quite out of my league, and I thought I should ask you since my question involves a photograph that you uploaded to Wikimedia Commons (and which currently appears on the Jack Rose Wikipedia page). On 2/14/10, you uploaded a photo of Jack Rose playing at the Luminaire in 2007. The problem with the photo is that it is a mirror image of what it should be. The photo shows Jack playing guitar left-handed, but Jack was a right-handed guitarist. I know that the original photo was taken by Simon Fernandez, and that it was used in an article in Plan B Magazine. I believe the mirror image was used for the article because of formatting purposes. (You can see what I mean if you look at the article at http://simonfernandezphotography.com/In-Print.) I would like to correct the photo of the left-handed playing Jack Rose and then upload it to Wikimedia Commons. Am I permitted to do that? Do I need Fernandez's permission first? I really don't understand all the ins and outs of copyright, fair use, etc. I just want to turn Jack back into a right-handed guitarist again. Please advise.

Hi Leah, to have an LGBT category, a person needs to be self-declared as L, G, B, or T. As far as I can tell, Crosby is none of those, so, no, he should not have one of those categories. However, would he be of interest to WikiProject LGBT Studies? Absolutely, the talk page of the article should be tagged for the project. Ladyof Shalott 17:48, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I don't know how to remove the watermarks. I play around with IrfanView, but I am a newb. Wikipedia:Graphics Lab is the place to go for help. They can do it. It would be nice if they wrote up a tutorial page on how to remove watermarks and other stuff from images. -- Timeshifter ( talk) 21:27, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi Leah. Yes, Lofgren and the Big Man could use some additional photos. Real gold would be Lofgren during his career peak back in the mid-1970 - the article really needs to have more text about that period. As for the Magic Tour article getting that 2008 ticket, yes that could be done - do you know what other tour articles include ticket photos? Would need to see whether the images were used under "fair use" or not. Wasted Time R ( talk) 13:34, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Daydo.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion.

Hi Leah,,
I just logged in for the first time in ages and saw you had tried to contact me in the past . Sory it's taken so long to respond! I've been trying to update some references on my Shrug page as my website changed last year to http://www.michael-morrison.co.uk/shrug/a-brief-history/ and any links on the Wiki are redundant. Can you help so I don't screw it up? Thanks, Michael — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snopake74 ( talk • contribs) 13:18, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Hey Leah, the short answer is that only an admin can make the final decision to delete an article (because only admins have the tool to do the deletion), but that anyone can nominate an article for deletion. The full answer is more complex, because there are three basic ways to nominate an article for deletion: speedy deletion, proposed deletion (aka prod), and WP:AfD. Speedy deletions are supposed to be done rapidly, and must meet very strict criteria. Prods are done anytimean article does not meet the speedy criteria, but you believe the deletion to be uncontroversial. (Anyone, including the article creator, can challenge a prod for any reason, and that forever invalidates future prods.) Finally, AfD is used for all other deletions - when there needs to be a community discussion to decide if deletion should be the outcome. (In AfDs, the closing admin must determine the policy-based consensus of those who participated in the discussion.) So there's deletion policy in a nutshell. See Wikipedia:Deletion policy and the other links I gave for more info. I believe you could justify a {db-a7} for lack of assertion of importance for Indivised, but with an article that's been around that long, (and touched by a number of hands) it might be safer to go ahead and list it at AfD. If you use Twinkle, it can make all the different types of deletion nominations easier. Let me know if you have follow-up questions! Ladyof Shalott 01:46, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi! Hope you're well :) Lone wolf, I like that! No big projects at the moment, but I noticed a few musician articles that don't have any photos at all, even in the infobox. Guys like Bob Weston (guitarist), Bob Brunning, Nigel Watson, and a few minor Thin Lizzy guys like Mark Nauseef, Dave Flett, Francesco DiCosmo, and maybe a better one of Snowy White? I don't know how easy they'd be to find though. The first two are deceased, so fair use might be a bit easier for them. If anyone can, you can... but don't worry if it's not possible :) Cheers!

This is probably the best solution: Have Mandy send an email to [email protected] from an email address listed on her website. In the email, provide a link to the account on Wikimedia Commons and her website, and say that the account is owned by Mandy, and so has authorisation to release her photographs. Ask the OTRS volunteer (I can do it for you, or another volunteer may get there before me) to undelete the images- provided they are her images, the OTRS volunteer can then undelete the images with an OTRS permission template. If you like, she could also include a link to this discussion so that any other OTRS volunteer understands what it is that I am suggesting is a reasonable course of action.
