Thank you for uploading File:Clovehitch.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:10, 3 January 2011 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 19:10, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Heron, we've not 'met' before but I see you were on Aesop and Aesop's Fables today performing some very canny edits which deserve complimenting. WP needs more like you with an eye for detail and the gift of succinct redrafting. I see you've already been given a barnstar; consider this as a quick sleeve-brush to keep it shining!

Thanks for uploading or contributing to
File:OED2-CD-1.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under
non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to
the file description page, and edit it to include a
non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free 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 the file is already gone, you can still make a
request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the
Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Hello. Sorry to appear "out of the blue" but I'm trying to find a neutral outsider to take a view on what's happening with The Third Man. At the moment there's something of an aching disagreement between a number of editors (of whom I would now include myself) and an apparently well-esconced though relatively new arrival over the article - specifically its "Plot". I have been impressed by what I have seen of your sensitive editing of the "Plot" of Brief Encounter and thought you might be able to help.
I am, I guess, the latest arrival in the editing process of the "Plot" section of The Third Man article, which has become, IMHO, starved to the point of losing some of its essential features. First, I tried to amend the final sentence thus: [ [1]]. This was reverted without explanation; when I asked for one on the talk page, pointing out that "Holly has made some sacrifice to stay behind after the funeral, which makes [Anna's] snubbing of him the more cutting", I was told "It's a summary, not a blow by blow account of what has happened in each scene". I thought it over for over a day, then came and reread the "Plot" and attempted to at least clarify those points of the plot which seemed unnecessarily befogged by the cutting process, thus [ [2]]. This was almost totally reverted, save for some trifling points of punctuation and a word or two [ [3]].
Several past editors, who have similarly attempted to make the plot reflect the character of the film rather than an unhelpful and jejune summary of no use to either newcomer or aficionado, have evidently been driven away by an obdurate policy to make The Third Man appear a mere action film: sadly this includes HarringtonSmith, who I've never had the pleasure to work with but whose work I have discovered through looking at The Third Man - evidently he had considerable responsibility in giving it what quality it has.
Would you mind having a look at what is happening with this article, and the "Plot" section in particular, and letting me know if there's some sensible way of improving this situation; or if you think I am going about things the wrong way, do let me know. Sorry for having gone on at some length about this. I would be most grateful if you are able to offer any advice or assistance. Alfietucker ( talk) 00:06, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
