Hi Gobonobo - I notice you added a very nice infobox to American Craft Council. Since you have given latitude and longitude, I wonder if it would also be appropriate to add the address that is associated with them. I do not know it.--Foobarnix (talk) 23:27, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing. gobonobo ^{+ c} 23:30, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm writing to let you know that the logo which had been placed on Thefederalist.com apparently belongs to a different web site. See http://web.archive.org/web/19981111191626/http://www.federalist.com/ -- Federalist.com was using that in 1998, whereas Thefederalist.com did not begin until 2013 (and uses a different logo -- see http://thefederalist.com/). Hence, it may no longer even be appropriate to keep File:Thefederalist.gif in Wikipedia as it would no longer be used in an article and thus no longer be subject to fair use criteria. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:10, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Metropolitan90. I think I've got the right one now at File:Federalist logo.png. gobonobo ^{+ c} 00:09, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi- I thought that my adding the issue of the yellow barrels to Mike Dukakis's page helped, though the fact is the epitome of trivial, flesh him out as a unique & sometime quirky political figure. I'm sure I could dig up a citation if that is the issue. Anyway, new at this, apologies if not using talk page correctly.Innisfree4thee (talk) 17:52, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Innisfree4thee. I undid your edit where you added a claim that Dukakis was remembered for "a quixotic quest to eliminate the use off yellow barrels as highway markers" because it was unsourced. Minor incidents from people's careers such as that one are usually not added to articles, as they provide undue weight (see WP:UNDUE/WP:BLP). gobonobo ^{+ c} 00:40, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Ms Magazine Spring Summer 2012 cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 18:23, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
