Bicycling & the Law: Your Rights As a Cyclist

A tag has been placed on Bicycling & the Law: Your Rights As a Cyclist, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Ybbor ^Talk 02:30, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I suspected that was the case, but after over 15 minutes passed without anything other than some category lists and citations, I went ahead and nominated it. Sorry. I'll be a bit more careful in the future. --Ybbor ^Talk 02:47, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks; it's just taking me a while to set up the pages, and to see how pages are set up, etc. Thus, the delay.Blue Order 02:50, 6 September 2007 (UTC)Blue Order[reply]

wikilinks

Thanks for your contributions, especially to Oregon articles. Just one small suggestion, you're wikilinking many terms that most editors would not bother with. For example, on Springwater Corridor, you added links to easement and greenway (landscape). The first is especially unusual in that the article is not about easements nor the legalities of such. The second is a helpful link because the article directly related to greenways, however it's also a fairly common word, so most readers wouldn't use the link. See WP:overlink for a sense of Wikipedia moderation regarding wikilinks. Note also, that you should never be linking (intentionally anyway) to a disambiguation page, as you did with this edit. Thanks! —EncMstr (talk) 22:04, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with File:Bob Mionske.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Bob Mionske.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by STBotI. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 19:42, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bicycle Law

Alright, I misunderstood that part. When editing the headers, I presumed the section "History" was meant to indicate the history of bicycle law preceding the "Right to the Road". Dr. Breznjev (talk) 19:41, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, it's probably difficult to figure the organization of the article out when the article is still under construction. Blue Order (talk) 00:29, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Blue Order! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 710 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Greg Elmore - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
David Freiberg - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

File permission problem with File:Bob Mionske.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Bob Mionske.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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-enwikimedia.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-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, 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, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. 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 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk 04:59, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
