Replaceable fair use File:Mchale_1971_tom_novelist.jpg
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/32px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Mchale_1971_tom_novelist.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 03:39, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Mchale 1980s tom novelist.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).
PLEASE NOTE:

I've put that article for proposed deletion. This is really far too detailed statistics to fall within the realm of almanacs (under which we have a lot of sports and political stats), and is ultimately simply not notable beyond a statement withi another another article describing the breadth of variety in manufactured products. Circéus (talk) 07:04, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi. I'm not sure it's the best terminology either, as I'm no expert in the subject, but an edit was needed. The issue is that, theoretically at least, a steam-powered car could be fuelled by gasoline -- there were certainly types that used kerosene, so it's not that strange an idea. Hence my edits, to be certain that you make the distinction between the car types that you are wanting to make clear. -- Cheers. EdJogg (talk) 14:04, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks Ed, I see what you are saying and have seen references to kerosene use in autos... Also, now I am seeing how this goes, I wasn't quite sure how to leave anyone a message and your talk page describes it quite well. Regards Nconwaymicelli (talk) 07:14, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
- Glad to be of help. :o)
- Incidentally, talk page threads are conventionally indented (as I have done here) so that it is easier to see who contributed what and in what order.
- I see you're a relatively new editor to WP. Although I can't promise to respond immediately, I'm quite happy to (try to) answer the odd question about WP editing now and then, if you can't find the information through the help system. Cheers. -- EdJogg (talk) 16:55, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Frederick W. Smith (physician)
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Frederick W. Smith (physician) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Dusti*poke* 03:15, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Congratulations for your DYK! Fascinating article; your recent articles have added greatly to my understanding of the history of Syracuse.
I have added a link to your article in Innovation and Business in Upstate New York.
May I suggest new projects that could use your abilities? A number of New York State inventors still lack Wikipedia articles of their own; chief among them is L. C. Smith. There is also David Maydole of Norwich, who perfected the hammer. In the North Country, William Henry Miner of Chazy and Frederick W. Eames of Watertown made important contributions to the development of railroad equipment. Carl Frink of Clayton made many innovations of the snowplow. And in Western New York, John D. Larkin of the Larkin Soap Company was an innovator in mail-order marketing and a patron of architecture, commissioning Frank Lloyd Wright to design his company's building and then his own house.
Cheers, Don Don Argus jr (talk) 09:13, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks Don for the kind words! I've been feeling like a hermit out here, not many Syracusans around? Yes, I will keep plugging along and when I run out of Syracuse, New York State will certainly be be next on my list, you can count on that.. Actually, both L. C. Smith and his brother, Hurlburt are both on my list to do (and soon). Nconwaymicelli (talk) 18:29, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

The article Avis Stearns Van Wagenen has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Known only due to her connection to E.C. Stearns & Company (and specifically to her brother and father). Only usable references are mere genealogy trees, nothing talks about her in detail. Notability is not inherited.
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. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Ravendrop (talk) 07:00, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Help?
Hello my name is Leilani and I'm a student at Syracuse U. For our class final we have to take an article on Wikipedia and make it better, essentially, but it has to tie into our class subject which is transnational NGOs. Basically for class we can work on policies and organizations' pages. I was hoping, because I see you have made a ton of contributions to the Onondaga Lake page, that I could greatly expand a section (or even creat a page in and of itself) of the pollution issues, history of pollution, steps to improve pollution and organizations and politicians working to do this, policies enacted, etc. I think this section dedicated solely to the ins and outs of pollution to Onondaga Lake has the potential to be an article all on its own. Lsmroczk32 (talk) 21:04, 30 March 2011 (UTC)Lsmroczk32
- Hi Leilani, that sounds wonderful. I added all the history and was hoping someone would add some new data. I grew up in Syracuse but don't live there any longer so don't know much about new events. If you need any help with editing questions, just ask! Nconwaymicelli (talk) 19:03, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
Moyer Automobiles
Dear Nconwaymicelli,
I'm not very adept at using this forum or at being a contributor. Need lots of extra time to figure it all out.
I finally got back on and saw your comments from last November/December, 2010. I am restoring a 1913 Moyer Model D Touring Car which I found at a farm auction in 1992. Have done much research since then and have some artifacts, history of extant Moyer Autos, etc. I am very good friends with Moyer descendants in NY who is also restoring a Moyer Touring Car. I am formerly from the Syracuse area and also now live in AZ. Would love to contact you by e-mail and discuss Moyer history! Please contact me at: sasgjs@gmail.com

Syracuse, Binghampton & New York Railroad
I have done the translation of this company in french, but before to put it on wikipedia french, i would like to have one precision; it seems that the SB&NY was created in 1854, but you write later that the Syracuse & Binghampton merged with the Syracuse & Southern to create the SB&NY in 1857. So, i don't know the right year of creation of this company. Could you help me ? Thank you very much Marsou 83 (talk) 16:42, 8 October 2011 (UTC) (see wikipedia french Utilisateur:Marsou 83)
- Hello Marsou, The "Syracuse and Binghamton Railroad" was chartered in 1851 but didn't open for business until October 1854. In 1856, the company merged with the "Syracuse and Southern Railroad" and in 1857, they changed their name to "Syracuse, Binghamton and New York Railroad." So looks like the company was chartered in 1851 and was reorganized under a new name in 1857. Hope this helps. Regards Nconwaymicelli (talk) 07:14, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Imprimis, nice comma splice. What's this about "glossy print"? No, no, no--let's talk notability for a history section in the entry for a small college, an institution whose history has little to do with the obscure tidbit that you keep posting there (over and over again).

A request from the Syracuse Post-Standard newspaper
Hello Nconwaymicelli,
I am a reporter at the Post-Standard, and I'm researching a story about the "Syracuse, New York" entry on Wikipedia, and the gallant editors who monitor and revise it - and fend off vandals. I have been looking at some of the crazier attempts to change the Syracuse page -- folks trying to add their names to the "well known" people list, folks adding sophomoric humor and sometimes folks just ranting inappropriately (even if their rants might have a ring of truth.)
In the course of my research, I came across your user name extensively, and you are listed as the second most prolific editor on the Syracuse page. The top two are far and away above all others.
I would like to interview you along these lines. Why spend so much time manning the barricaides of the Syracuse, New York site? How many hours do you put in? How often do you check? Why do it?
As a newspaper person, I prefer to know the name of the person I am dealing with. So if you're willing to talk, I would hope you would be willing to do it with your name. But I do understand people's desires for confidentiality. I think the work you do is commendable. So if you don't want your name used, I would honor that request.
Can we talk?
My name is Hart Seely. I have been a reporter since 1979 at this paper. My phone number is 315-470-2247. My email is hseely@syracuse.com. I suspect email might be the best course of contact. I'll be hoping to hear from you.
Thank you,
Hart — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.49.41.58 (talk) 21:43, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Nconwaymicelli, my name is Matthew Roth and I'm the Global Communications Manager with the Wikimedia Foundation. I spoke with Hart and recommended he reach out to you through your talk page if he wanted to get in touch. I'm happy to discuss with you more if you have questions or want to talk about anything: mroth
wikimedia.org. I found Hart had done quite a bit of his homework and he appeared to have a real curiosity about how Syracuse, New York got to be the way it is and who spends time keeping it in good shape. Sometimes these types of stories turn out to be quite good, as reporters get the human interest angle behind the hard work of editors. A couple examples here and here. All best, Matthew (wmf) (talk) 23:44, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Copyright problem: History of Syracuse, New York
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as History of Syracuse, New York, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to contain material copied from https://web.archive.org/web/20020924225607/http://www.shadesofoakwood.com/pages/syrhist.html, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to be blocked from editing.

- If you have permission from the author to release the text under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), leave a message explaining the details at Talk:History of Syracuse, New York and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". Make sure you quote the exact page name, History of Syracuse, New York, in your email. See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
- If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted "under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), version 3.0", or that the material is released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:History of Syracuse, New York with a link to where we can find that note.

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:History of Syracuse, New York saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved.
Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:25, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry about this. Yes, I know you've never edited that article. But it was recently split off from Syracuse, New York, where you seem to have added copyright material on at least three different occasions (extended content containing the phrases "then a state assemblyman", "last sheet of ice", "selling their land"). That, as you know, is not acceptable. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:25, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
- I've had to blank Syracuse, New York also, for the same reasons, but am leaving you this note instead of an invasive template. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:07, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
Close paraphrasing
Hello. I'm afraid that content you added to Arthur C. Keller includes close paraphrasing of at least one of its sources. While facts are not copyrightable, creative elements of presentation – including both structure and language – are. For an example of close paraphrasing, consider the following:
Source | Article |
---|---|
Mr. Keller was a young engineer at the old Bell Laboratories in Greenwich Village in 1925 when he began to explore the basic relations among sound, hearing and the electrical devices of telephony. One practical application of these efforts was the attempt to add sound to silent pictures by playing synchronized records along with the film. As a result, stars like John Barrymore and Al Jolson could be heard speaking on-screen by 1927. | As a young engineer at the old Bell Laboratories in Greenwich Village in 1925, he began to explore the relations of sound, hearing and the electrical devices of telephony. One practical application of this endeavor was adding sound to silent pictures which was accomplished by playing synchronized records along with the film. As a result, motion pictures had speaking on-screen by 1927. |
I have added bolding to both sides to help demonstrate the issue.
There are other passages that similarly follow quite closely.
As a website that is widely read and reused, Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously to protect the interests of the holders of copyright as well as those of the Wikimedia Foundation and our reusers. Wikipedia's copyright policies require that the content we take from non-free sources, aside from brief and clearly marked quotations, be rewritten from scratch. If the material can be verified to be compatibly licensed or public domain or if permission is provided, we can use the original text with proper attribution.
The essay Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing contains some suggestions for rewriting that may help avoid these issues. The article Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches, while about plagiarism rather than copyright concerns, also contains some suggestions for reusing material from sources that may be helpful, beginning under "Avoiding plagiarism".
Please let me know at my talk page if you have questions about this. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:46, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
- I'm afraid that Alexander T. Brown has similar issues. I've left a note on the talk page of the article with an example. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:08, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
- It looks like Ukrainians in Syracuse, New York has the same kind of issues. I think this one requires rewriting for us to continue to publish it, and I have blanked it for listing at the copyright problems board. Please see the notice you were left above or the template currently on the article's face for instructions on how to repair the issue, if you choose. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:43, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
Contributor copyright investigation
After having spent a little time looking through your contributions, I have opened a contributor copyright investigation to request a more systematic review of your contributions for copyright concerns. I believe and expressed my belief at the CCI page that your edits have been entirely in good faith; you seem to have been scrupulous about citing your sources. Unfortunately, the closeness of your paraphrasing is simply out of step with Wikipedia's approach, and some content will have to be removed or rewritten. In addition to our own essay Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing, I recommend this resource page from Purdue University: [1].
The specific CCI page to evaluate your contributions is at Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Nconwaymicelli. People who assist at that page generally will not provide you with specific notices (in line with those above) when they uncover issues, in order to avoid spamming your page with lengthy notices about a problem of which you have now been advised. If you wish to know if specific issues are found, please watch that page and check back. Because of the backlog in that work, the evaluation may be open for some time. Generally, the volunteers who assist with this may work on a specific evaluation in spurts, and it may sit dormant for long periods between. If you would like to help, the best approach generally proves to be assisting in rewriting from scratch problematic text. If you rewrite content on articles that have not already been evaluated in that page, please indicate that you have done so by placing a note beneath the listing, indented one level. This will save time and help the review move more quickly.
If you have any questions about how to paraphrase content consistent with our understands or about this process, please feel free to let me know - either at my talk page or by responding here, with my username linked. This will help make sure I don't overlook your response. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:35, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

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. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Copyright problem Salt industry in Syracuse, New York
Hello, I notice that in the article cited, you've closely paraphrased two independent sources: [2] and [3]. By my analysis, it appears that in dozens of sentences or passages, you've altered, added or deleted a few words to disguise the passage from the original source. This is a wilful and knowledgeable attempt to circumvent our policy on copyrighted material. I'm going to blank the article, because I believe it is irreparably compromised.
In order to avoid to actions such as being blocked from editing, I suggest you read the following articles carefully: WP:Copyright Violations and WP:Close paraphrasing.

Speedy deletion nomination of Industry in Syracuse, New York
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/48px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Industry in Syracuse, New York requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://madeinatlantis.com/new_york/syracuse.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. 💵Money💵emoji💵💸 22:15, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
