Thanks for uploading File:Waco Cotton Palace.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 22:05, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
As a followup on this: because the postcard was published before 1923, no copyright (even Creative Commons) can be claimed for that image (see explanation at commons:Commons:Licensing#Material_in_the_public_domain ). I fixed the tag to be a Public Domain 1923 tag at File:Waco Cotton Palace.jpg. The Wikimedia community interprets reproduction of 2d images in the United States under the following justification:commons:Commons:When_to_use_the_PD-Art_tag. I realize that Baylor likely has a different policy on the digitization, and I wouldn't recommend wading into that set of problems, if you don't have to. These lack of claims to copyright, does not mean that we shouldn't provide robust metadata that attributes Baylor's effort in digitizing: just Copyright is the wront legal machanism to do so.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article George Washington Truett you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of LavaBaron -- LavaBaron (talk) 03:01, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi, just letting you know that there is a discussion occurring on Talk:Debate about moving article content related solely, or mostly dealing with, competitive debating into a new article to allow Debate to be more about the form of discussion instead of styles of competitive debating. Thanks, Dr Crazy 102 (talk) 09:55, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
