April 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page University of Illinois Observatory has been reverted.
Your edit here to University of Illinois Observatory was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.facebook.com/U.of.Illinois.Observatory) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 00:48, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Astronomical Observatory (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)

Regarding the material you've been trying to add to this article, I have little doubt that know or believe it to be true, but we need to have a source which confirms the actual statements which you're attempting to add, Thus, you want to add the name "Bart Bok" to "Harvard's Star Counting Circuit", but I see nothing in the Bart Bok article to confirm this, so it's going to need tobe sourced. Then, you want to add the names of two people as students of Robert Baker, but what you provided is a paper by them about Perseus -- does that paper say that they were Baker's students? Then there's the question of why Baker's students should be in an article about a specific observatory -- did they use the observatory in their published work? All these questions need to be answered, and supported with citations -- that's how Wikipedia works. BMK (talk) 02:48, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't email me, keep this discussion on-Wiki. If you'd like, I can copy your text here. BMK (talk) 20:54, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free rationale for File:JoelStebbins.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:JoelStebbins.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 20:50, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
