User talk:Macondude

Hi, Macondude!

I'm glad you're helping work on Wikipedia. However, I've noticed a lot of your edits aren't really in line with what we're trying to do here. Specifically, a lot of your edits on the Macon, Georgia article fail to cite sources, are often unverifiable or non-notable, and sometimes just don't make sense. Please review the rules for editing here and make sure you understand them before you make changes. (Also, just as a helpful note, it would be better if you could make all your changes in one edit instead of 6 or 7 separate edits -- it saves space on the server and more importantly, it helps other editors see what exactly you changed. Use the Show Preview button to see how your changes look without having to save a new copy.)

Again, I appreciate your contributions, but only in line with what Wikipedia's requirements are. Thanks!

Hey "dude",

I'd be glad to try to put your pictures up, as long as they're related to the topic, beneficial to Wikipedia, and fall within Wikipedia's image use policy -- so I would need to know the images' copyright status (hopefully, public domain or something similar) so I could tag them appropriately. I will definitely take a look if you can give me a link and information about copyright (or lack thereof). Let me know!

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

Haven't been able to find them yet, other than a too-small seal on the city website. Any ideas? --SuperNova |T|C| 05:15, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking earlier that maybe we could contact the city and ask them to email the two graphics we're looking for. I'm sure they must have them somewhere -- the seal, at least, is on everything, and the flag is on the police logo. (I looked on the police website but the flag is too small to do anything with it.) Could you try contacting the mayor's office or something? --SuperNova |T|C| 05:42, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, just popped in to say I believe in giving credit where it's due and you're due a lot. Great work on the Macon article. It looks great! Tons of good info and the pictures work well, especially some of the new map/location ones. Glad to see you got the uploading thing working, and I'm sorry I didn't help you out with that before... But more importantly, keep up the good work on improving that article! --SuperNova |T|C| 10:30, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My comments on the downtown improvements can go under "doing great!" Suddenly I'm up to my eyeballs in alligators, so I HOPE I will be able to notice new improvements! But maybe not in the near future. Thanks for all your contributions! Student7 18:50, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Glad you found a list, but a lot of these people just aren't famous. I think only people notable enough to have a Wikipedia article should be listed under notable people. What do you think? --SuperNova |T|C| 20:12, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looked in Georgia article as you suggested, for population rank of Macon. I guess I'm dense. I searched on "Macon" and all I found was weather and some monuments. In what section should I be looking? Thanks. Student7 18:47, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading Image:Skyline macon night.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. -- STBotI (talk) 20:30, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Skylinemaconnight.JPG. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Skyline macon night.JPG. The copy called Image:Skyline macon night.JPG has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. -- Staeckerbot (talk) 20:44, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An image that you uploaded, Image:Centerplex.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. BigrTex 03:58, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:F_&_C_building.jpg. 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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:47, 17 August 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:47, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Top-ficklogo.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

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 permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image 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 uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MBisanz ^talk 07:16, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Downtown Macon 1.JPG, which you've sourced to Mark Strozier. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

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 permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} 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.

Thank you for uploading File:Picmayor.jpg. 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 page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Hey, Macondude! I just wanted to say I'm glad I'm not alone! I live just a few miles outside of Macon, and love creating articles about their high- rises. As you might have already noticed, I created the following pages relating to Macon, and places within it's mertopolitan area:

• List of tallest buildings in Macon, Georgia
• Ramada Plaza (Macon, Georgia)
• Crawford County Jail
• (I expanded this article, but did not create it) Crawford County Courthouse
• St. Joseph's Catholic Church
• BB&T Building
• First Presbyterian Church

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
