Conyers, Davis and the first MI district[edit]
Davis did not represent the first district. While he was in office, his district was known as the eleventh district. The boundaries were redrawn in 1993. While the areas that Davis represented in the UP and northern MI may have been similar to the current boundaries of the first district, I think it is incorrect and misleading to say that he represented the first district. older ≠ wiser 17:08, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Michigan's 11th congressional district[edit]
Nice start on this. I'm not sure about the district images from the National Atlas. Not sure if you got this far, but they are from here. I think you need to preview the map, then right-click on the image and dave it to your hard disk. Then upload that image to Wikipedia. Yep, that's the ticket, I just uploaded the map for the 11th district. older ≠ wiser 02:13, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Bart Stupak[edit]
It looks like you figured out how to resize the image. If you use the tag {{PD-USGov-Congress}}, please be certain that any images you use it on is from a website of US Federal government. If the source is not a federal website, then you need to obtain explicit permission to use the photograph from the source (and perhaps use a different license tag).

Hi, and thanks for the message on my talk page. The {{wikify}} template is just a note to tell people that the page doesn't properly conform to Wikipedia's Manual of Style, mainly because of the way it's structured. You don't have to do anything to fix it, because someone else will - eventually - but if you'd like to go for it anyway, there are some simple things you can do to clean it up a little:
- Make sure that there are no paragraphs shorter than two sentences or so. Short paragraphs make articles hard to read, and often contain no content that can't be included elsewhere.
- Organise your article into sections, introduced by a succinct leading paragraph. Some possible examples could be "Early life," "Politics" or "Controversy," if there's been any.
- Introduce references into your article. All you really need to do is to provide a couple of links to other websites in-line with your text, to back up any assertions you may have made in the article.
- Provide a brief "See also" section, with relevant links to other Wikipedia articles.
Those are just off the top of my head - if those changes are made, it'd be fine to remove the Wikify tag. Bear in mind, placing any tag like that is not a reflection on the person who created the page, but just a note to other people that it could be improved in one way or another.
Hope this helps, and happy editing! RandyWang (chat me up/fix me up) 02:42, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Please use appropriate image license tags[edit]
Hi, I've noticed that you've uploaded a number of images and tagged them as either GFDL or as public domain. Please do not do so unless you are certain that that is the correct license. For example,
- Image:District map.jpg is not a work of the U.S. Congress
- The source you provided for Image:JRockimage.jpg, The Hill is copyrighted. You cannot take an image from that site and claim it is GFDL
- Same for Image:StromThurmond2001.jpg and Image:Levin Amdsrvscmttee.jpg.
older ≠ wiser 15:04, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- You need to be able to demonstrate that the copyright owner has explicitly agreed to release the image under the terms of the GFDL. As for the Michigan drawing, it would probably need to be recreated, even though there likely would not be much chance of any objection to our use of the image. The state maintains copyright on it's works, which makes it ineligible for use in Wikipedia (with the possible exception of claiming fair use -- although that also has come under close scrutiny lately). older ≠ wiser 15:19, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- You can put the email on the image page. For example, see Image:Barciaheadshot.jpg. I've not looked at the nominees' statements closely yet, so no pick yet. older ≠ wiser 15:31, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Negauneeironst.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Negauneeironst.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}. If you have not already done so, please also include the source of the image. In many cases this will be the website where you found it.
Please specify the copyright information and source on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 18:02, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Repmccoterliv.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Repmccoterliv.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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. 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 specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 06:42, 10 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Bkell (talk) 06:42, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Altmire15.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Altmire15.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, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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. 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 specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:37, 21 February 2007 (UTC).

Also, here's the stock message about making sure to sign your comments:
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! —Remember the dot (talk) 19:13, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- Also, you should note that simply requesting permission for use on Wikipedia is not acceptable; you must ask if the images in question have usage restrictions, i.e. commercial-use or derivatives. I also emailed the Michigan House of Representatives, and they said that these images cannot be used for commercial purposes and that derivative work is strictly prohibited, which means that they can't be used on Wikipedia.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Barrettdist105.jpg)[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Barrettdist105.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Source and colors of UPAncbymunicipality.png[edit]
File:UPAncbymunicipality.png was recently removed from Upper Peninsula of Michigan because of concerns raised on the talk page. What is the source of the demographic information, and could you make the African American and French Canadian colors more distinct from each other? I can't distinguish them on the map. Galatee (talk) 18:52, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
- Hi, I was coming to ask the same thing. AFAIK, there is no place in the Upper Peninsula where African Americans are in the majority... —Ed (talk • majestic titan) 02:48, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
The article Steve Tobocman has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Although this person appears to meet WP:POLITICIAN, no in-depth coverage of them exists and as such they currently fail WP:GNG
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

File permission problem with File:Koivisto.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Koivisto.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 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-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 Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia: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 the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 05:25, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Better source request for File:Schumer9thdist.jpg[edit]
Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:
You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain, search engine, pinboard, aggregator, or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 08:32, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
