Biographies of women
editHi there, Jaireeodell, and thank you for creating several biographies of women. If you intend to continue along these lines, you might find it useful to become a member of WikiProject Women in Red where we are trying to improve coverage of women on Wikipedia. You can sign up under "New registrations" on Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/New members. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 07:22, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Ipigott. Sure, I'll join. I guess I figured they had a lot of help. I've been participating in Women in Religion ... which is sort of an an off-shoot of Women in Red. Thanks for the nudge. -- Jaireeodell (talk) 13:39, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. Good to welcome you aboard. We have a close relationship with Women in Religion and I have personally tried to help the project along since its rather tentative beginnings. It's good to see you intend to continue creating biographies in connection with religion, arts and education -- three key sectors of interest. We have a strong focus on education throughout the year. I realize you are a highly experienced contributor but if you have not already done so, you might find it useful to look through our Primer. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance.--Ipigott (talk) 13:59, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

You appear to have uploaded this file while leaving a speedy deletion tag on it. I understand that you uploaded this under a fair use claim, and the corresponding article is in the Draft namespace. Because of WP:NFCC#9, we can't keep fair use content that is only used in the draftspace.
Would you like me to delete the file now based on your speedy deletion template, or would you like me to give you 7 days to get the article into the mainspace before the file gets deleted by a bot? — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 01:44, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Red-tailed hawk Thanks for the note. This is the first time that I have tried to use an image with the fair use tag. Next time I will create the article first. The speedy delete template was added because I selected Creative Commons Attribution NonCommercial (or its, confusing, near equivalent) from the dropdown menu. The journal, the subject of the article, uses CC BY NC for a license. Next time I won't select that. I just moved the draft to mainspace at Journal of Anime and Manga Studies. I think it's ok to delete the speedy deletion template. -- Jaireeodell (talk) 01:49, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- Sounds good; I've removed the tag. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 01:53, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:JAMSLogo.png
edit
Thanks for uploading File:JAMSLogo.png. 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 section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:30, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:2003 Indianapolis City-County Council election
edit
Hello, Jaireeodell. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "2003 Indianapolis City-County Council election".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 01:54, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
