Wikipedia:WikiProject Cats

Thank you for having joined the project! I hope that you will feel free to improve any of the articles in the project, and possibly take part in some of the project's activities. Right now, we're trying to decide which of the various articles in the scope of the project are of the greatest importance, so that we know which ones to focus more of our attention on. The newly created page is at Wikipedia:WikiProject Cats/Assessment/Top-importance articles. Please feel free to make any nominations or express your opinions about any of the existing nominations there. If there's ever anything I can do to help you, please post a message on the talk page or send me one personally. Thanks again for joining the project! Badbilltucker 23:06, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Your edits to cat coat genetics

Hello, some of your edits to Cat coat genetics have me concerned, as they go against what I have been taught as a Selkirk Rex breeder: AFAIK, the Se gene is a complete dominant, and cats on the show ring are preferred with a full, but curly coat, contrary to what your edits seem to say. If you are sure about your edits, I would ask that you provide sources for these controversial changes, or else I will have to revert them.--Ramdrake 15:11, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I see what you mean, but you'd need a reliable source that states so (the Se gene is an incomplete dominant), otherwise your addition, I'm afraid is very much original research, and not allowed at Wikipedia.--Ramdrake 17:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Cat photo

How old is this cat? A friend of mine is also asking me where she can get one. It is definitely a cute cat.

Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Anémone. Our verifiability policy requires that all content be cited to a reliable source. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:10, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

IP Block Exemption

Hey, Quincunxcats. Just so you know, I've removed the IP Block Exemption flag I gave you some time ago, as the block that was affecting you then has expired, and you should not currently have any problems with editing while logged in. If you do find yourself unable to edit, please put up an unblock request and we can look into things again. Thanks! Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 07:00, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Skookumsh.JPG

Thanks for uploading File:Skookumsh.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 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 uploaded by following this link. 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. Lukasz Lukomski (talk) 23:36, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

October 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that biographical information about living persons must not be libelous. Whenever you add possibly controversial statements about a living person to an article or any other Wikipedia page, as you did to Ted Haggard, you must include proper sources. If you don't know how to cite a source, you may want to read Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners for instructions. Thank you. Uncle Dick (talk) 02:19, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Corin Redgrave, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Uncle Dick (talk) 02:30, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Notification of automated file description generation

Your upload of File:BlackLaPerm.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment.

Proposed deletion of File:Quincunxlapermlitter.JPG

The file File:Quincunxlapermlitter.JPG has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

buying the photo != buying the copyright, but it's also an orphaned file with no clear usability

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Jon Kolbert (talk) 15:37, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
