Ca' d'Oro

Great picture, its improved the article a lot. Thanks Giano 12:57, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Cottage

As I said in my email do exactly what you like to cottage, it could do with expanding, since I wrote the emial I have thought that the new extension would be useful too, as that is what is happening to "cottages" all over England, so the photo would serve to illustrate that perfectly; also the fact that what was once a small village cottage is now a substantial family house in Essex could also illustrate the social changes of the 'cottage'. The article could take two parts the first the traditional "humble home of labourers" ie the picture of the terrace of cottages, and secondly the cottage being taken over by the more affluent 21st century family. Remember with Wikipedia - be bold in your edits, but with some tact too. Good luck. If you are not keen to write something, or not sure how to do it, let me know and we can do it together.

PS: You could start "being bold" by removing the slang section at the bottom of the page!

Unspecified source for Image:CadOro,_Venice,_Italy.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:CadOro,_Venice,_Italy.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, then 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, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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. 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 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 23:45, 15 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Kelly ^hi! 23:45, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:ScavoSpar.png)

Thanks for uploading File:ScavoSpar.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:02, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NowCommons: File:Myvatn.jpg

File:Myvatn.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Myvatn lake.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:Myvatn lake.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 19:36, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.
