Jaqueline Lovell
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Jaqueline Lovell article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed 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.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text—which means allowing other people to modify it—then you must include on the external site this statement (or something similar): "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, and under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License".
You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the Teahouse. You can also leave a message on my talk page. -- Chris 73 Talk 23:02, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Quincy 2 at Quincy CA excursion in 50s.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Quincy 2 at Quincy CA excursion in 50s.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|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 images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. chocolateboy 02:22, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Ted L. Nancy
Consider the follow quotes from [1].
Nut may use Seinfeld as its bait, but Jerry is no nut himself. Even though there have been three bestsellers by the mysteriously named author "Ted L. Nancy" that played on the question of Seinfeld's involvement, I can tell you without a doubt that Jerry is no Nancy. Indeed, this column has mentioned several times over the last couple of years that the author of the best-selling Letters from a Nut books is none other than the prospective TV show's executive producer, Barry Marder.
I thought it was pretty funny when I read the wire story. Either they're in on the joke and don't want to expose it, or they really think Seinfeld is the pseudonymous author Ted L. Nancy. I can assure you he is not. But Marder, who also is famous for getting a pastrami sandwich with Seinfeld on the afternoon before Jerry's wedding to Jessica Sklar, is — and he deserves to have his own hit now. I look forward to the show next winter.
To me that sounds like the author of column (Roger Friedman) is making the assertion that Ted L. Nancy is a pseudonym of Barry Marder. What is your interpretation?
As for naming the person in the article you can do that, but the URL is there for people to check the source if they want to, so it's not an anonymous person and unverifiable. Tnikkel 07:18, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
You took the words right out of my mouth. We must have been writing at about the same time, because I wrote on your "talk page" essentially the same thing you said! Thank you, Tnikkel. Thank you for understanding me finally! Yay! I feel better now.

- I'm glad that we've come to a resolution. In the future a better way of discussing issues would be to post your concerns to the talk page of the relevant article. It works much better then reverting pages and communicating in the edit summary like we had been doing. Tnikkel 07:28, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
Understood! ;)

Thanks for uploading Image:Gay way.ogg, but unfortunately entire songs cannot be claimed as fair use. Only short, low quality samples that illustrate their respective article can be used. U.S. copyright law states that song samples must be no longer than 30 seconds or 10% of the song, whichever is shorter. Wikipedia policy is to speedily delete copyright infringements if they were uploaded within the past 48 hours, but you are welcome to re-upload a new file that follows fair use guidelines. Thank you! ~MDD4696 05:44, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
