Nice addition to Port Chicago disaster, where they heard a strange noise right before the explosion. Somehow, I completely missed that crucial point in my reading of that page. Good on ya! Binksternet (talk) 15:39, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Denny McLain, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jim Perry (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Hello. I've reverted your addition of a rationale for use at Hubert van Es of the image File:Saigon-hubert-van-es.jpg, and removed the image from that article. It isn't necessary to display the image on the author's article in this case when the image is prominently featured elsewhere (see Fall of Saigon).

File source problem with File:Eddie Slovik.jpg

[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:Eddie Slovik.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.
