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 Misplaced Pages 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.

File permission problem with File:Fort Howes.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Fort Howes.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

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-en@wikimedia.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 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-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Misplaced Pages: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 on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Misplaced Pages's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

ATTENTION: This is an automated, BOT-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate your file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 31

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Battle of Killdeer Mountain, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Santee. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:52, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 7

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Elijah Gates, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Battle of Corinth. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Copyright violation

I have removed your lengthy copyright violation from 1st Regiment Iowa Volunteer Cavalry. You have already been blocked once for copyright violations, please make sure that we don't have to block you again. If you are aware that you have introduced copyrighted text in other articles (or copied text out of copyright without indicating that you were simply copy-pasting, which is plagiarism and also unacceptable) then please make sure that it is removed or made compliant with our policies.

File source problem with File:1st missouri cavalry flag.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:1st missouri cavalry flag.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 Misplaced Pages. 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. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:13, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

August 2016

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Misplaced Pages, as you did to Battle of Powder River (1865), without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. ~ Junior5a (Talk) Cont 04:06, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

September 2016

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Misplaced Pages has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Misplaced Pages:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Image tagging for File:Kathryn Sellers.jpg

Speedy deletion nomination of Henry E. Noyes

Hello Powder River 1876,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Henry E. Noyes for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

In the future, please add attribution when copying from public domain sources: simply add the template {{PD-notice}} after your citation. I have done so for the above article. Please do this in the future so that our readers will be aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. Thanks, — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:21, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Henry E. Noyes, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Fort D. A. Russell and Fort McDowell (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:17, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Blocked

You have been blocked in the past for copyright violations, and afterwards you have been warned when you once again added copyvios. Your latest article, Alexander Moore (soldier), once again contained lots of text taken completely from another site. You have now been blocked indefinitely. Fram (talk) 14:36, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

This blocked user is asking that their block be reviewed on the Unblock Ticket Request System:

Unjust Deletion

This account has been blocked unjustly. In the 275 pages I have created or edited I have always cited my sources and had them thoroughly written. I am a young researcher, and much of my work has come from original research on little-known historical topics and individuals. The page Alexander Moore (soldier) was deleted unjustly and left without a record. I have worked very hard to help others learn and receive no reward for my contributions. I would please ask that my account be restored. It is simply unjust to let one administrator delete the account of an individual who has contributed to this community for five years and asked nothing in return. I have only the best intentions in mind. Thank you, Powder River 1876 (talk) 03:43, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
