== Vasco da Gama signature ==

Hello Connormah, I have a question/curiosity about Vasco da Gama's signature. After I added it to his article in Portuguese Wikipedia, another user asked me if I was positive it's not a fake, since it looks so different from his name. I told them I'd given the signature the benefit of the doubt, because you pointed out in the description the specific source, and I pledged to ask the uploader anyway, just to check. I then found out it was uploaded by you, an administrator who also specializes on contributing signatures... I'll take the liberty to ask you, anyway: do you remember reading anything in the book that expands on the signature's strange appearance? Thank you for your work.

Thanks for uploading File:2010 Ford World Women's Curling Championship Logo.svg. 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 "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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Asking a favor...

Hey Connormah:

I saw the good job you did with this file for the 111th US congress

File:111th US Congress House of Reps.svg

and I was wondering, if you had the time, could you create a similar file for the 112th Congress article?

And could you maybe update these files too?

Harold Sebring

Greetings, Connormah.

I saw that you added a birth date to the Harold Sebring article. I had looked for it, but could not find it, when I was rewriting the article last year. Could you share your source? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 14:28, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, sir! You have solved a little mystery for me. I normally re-run Google searches on my watch list articles every 6-12 months, but you found something I missed, and I thank you for that. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 15:04, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Glenda Hood

OK, I understand that you found Glenda Hood's birthday in some cataloging-in-publication data, but I'm having trouble seeing that as an adequate reference -- particularly since the article does not indicate that she ever wrote a book. Could you please supply more details -- so that another person could verify this? --Orlady (talk) 23:46, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Her birth date is also on [1] - I'll try and dig up the template to source the CIP data ref - I know there's one out there somewhere - it states where the birth date is from (in the CIP data) Connormah (talk) 23:48, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
