Southwest Colorado map
I'd like to know where you got the map of southwest Colorado that you added to the southwestern Colorado page. Image:SW_Colorado-counties-map.PNG I need an authoritative source for which counties are considered southwest Colorado. Wikipedia isn't authoritative enough, but maybe the place you got the map from would be. Please email me at chittenden_l at fortlewis dot edu. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lchittenden (talk • contribs) 16:36, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Utah map images
Can you provide sources for the images Image:UTAH SR-95.png, Image:UTAH SR-276.png and Image:UTAH SR-274.png? Zach (Sound Off) 04:42, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

PD-UTGov
All images marked with Template:PD-UTGov have been marked for speedy deletion, and the template is under debate for deletion at WP:TFD. The template indicated a license which did not permit commercial use, and images which cannot be used commercially are not allowed to be uploaded after May, 2005. Please reference the third pillar (Five pillars, and thanks for contributing. --Mm35173 20:10, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Re: Images from UDOT
They were all tagged with the (now-deleted) Template:PD-UTGov which states that the relevant State authority only licenses them very restrictively. Specifically, as this TfD debate says, they are only available with "no modification allowed, [for] personal or informational use only". All of those restrictions make it not possible to retain the images, but particularly the personal use only one: the GFDL licenses all content to anyone for any reason, including commercial purposes while the license for these images does not allow commercial use. Jimbo Wales has said that we are to remove any such images on sight. You were notified of the impending deletion of both the template and the images on the page you request: User talk:WikiDon/Imagearchive, although rather recently.

If you can find GFDL compatible images to replace them, that'd be fine. -Splash talk 00:38, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * No. You misunderstand. The Wikimedia Foundation does not and has not ever charged for the use of any of its content. It is given away completely for free to anyone who wants it. See answers.com for example, which mirrors the English Wikipedia along with many many other sites that do so — without having to pay the Foundation or Jimbo anything at all. But, the terms of the GFDL do allow commercial use. So those who take our content could decide to use it to make money and such use, which is allowed, would be incompatible with the terms of non-commercial use only licenses. That's all. -Splash talk 01:08, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Image:UTAH SR-24.PNG
What is the source of this image? --SPUI (talk) 10:24, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Did you read the statement? It says "if the documents are not modified in any respect", which is decidedly non-free. --SPUI (talk) 10:45, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Please read derivative work. --SPUI (talk) 11:01, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Hey congratulations on the release, I admire your tenacity. I don't know how the image should be tagged, you probably can't release it into the GFDL since there are still restrictions on its use. Should probably wait until the letter gets to Wiki and see what the people who really know this stuff say. Looking at the spelling and grammar in the release I think the state of Utah (in which I live) needs to upgrade its personnel a little. Bob Palin 20:56, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I see they got deleted again, to tell you the truth that's what I expected to happen but it was worth a try. Maps are difficult, we are going to have to draw our own! Bob Palin 03:21, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Non-free images
'''Why did you delete Image:UTAH SR-12.PNG and Image:UTAH SR-24.PNG? These are MAPS not photos, maps need to be modified to fit the specific area talked about. I ask Jimbo if I got a letter for copyright release, we could use it.''' What is the deal? I didn't think that I had it tagged right and ask for help with the right tag???? So if we have a letter of release we still can't use it? WikiDon 03:46, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid we can only use them if they're released under the GFDL or a similar free licence. Images only wikipedia is allowed to use are speedy deletion candidates, as they severely hamper the free redistributability of the encyclopaedia we're making. --fvw *  03:51, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

 * PS Just mark it GFDL and call it good? WikiDon 03:46, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * That sounds like a very bad idea unless the copyright owner expressly licenced them under that licence. --fvw *  03:53, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

The State of Utah is giving "me" the right to modify the image, I then create the new image that I want, and to that image "I" give it the GFDL tag for free distribution. WikiDon
 * It doesn't work that way. You're creating a derived work from their copyrighted material, so the redistribution and copying of the end result is limited both by how you and how the state of utah allow it, i.e. it's more restricted or at the very least just as restricted. --fvw *  03:59, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

So what can I do? WikiDon
 * You can either ask them to licence it under the GFDL or creative commons (once you explain what and why you'd be surprised how many people say yes), find a different source for a similar map that will licence it under an acceptable licence, or you can make your own (you won't be able to make a map anywhere near as nice unless you're an experienced cartographer, but maybe you can make something that will get the gist of the matter across). If none of that works, the article is just going to have to survive without a map for a while. --fvw *  04:32, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Where do I find the text for "GFDL" or "creative commons" that would be appropriate to send them? WikiDon

 * It's linked off the GFDL article, but Boilerplate request for permission might be the best place to get you started. Good luck! --fvw *  04:45, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

ACD photos
You've got some cute ACD photos on your user page & talk pg for ACD, but either missing license tags or one has a tag that doesn't seem to exist. Any chance you could add the appropriate GFDL or whatever? Thanks. Helps me to keep the wp dog photo list up to date. Elf | Talk 05:02, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

 * WP isn't allowing anyone to upload (easily, anyway) photos with that kind of tag (for use on WP but nowhere else) any more. However, for use on one's user page, I'm guessing that such a tag would be commonly used. For the moment, I'd put maybe but add a clear statement that the image is for use only on your user page and that might be OK.  I'm going to ask this question at Wikipedia_talk:Image_copyright_tags.  Elf | Talk 21:39, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Images for user pages only
I *think* you were the one who asked me about a month ago about copyrighted photos that maybe you'd want to have on your user page but not release for general use (or at least that I interpreted that way). There now appears to be a copyright tag for that; see this new tag. Elf | Talk 22:38, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Carlingford Lough.PNG
Thanks for uploading Image:Carlingford Lough.PNG. 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, ie 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 to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use .)  See 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 going to "Your contributions" from your user page 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. Thanks so much.

Image copyright problem with Image:DnkImg005.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:DnkImg005.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. (er, and sorry this template is so patronizing)  —  The KMan  talk  10:48, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Belfast-Lough.PNG
WikiDon,

I edited the image of Ireland ( the Island) to include the capitals and I outlined Belfast Lough. But when uploading, I am not sure which copyright notation to use. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

 * Hi, WikiDon, your image of Belfast Lough has been altered. Your original was more suitable for the article on the Belfast Blitz.  So I restored your image as Belfast-Lough-2.png.  Thanks for the image, Regards ClemMcGann 21:19, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

JhnDyDam2.jpg
The image, Image:JhnDyDam2.jpg is pretty nice. A US army corps of engineers photo is public domain, but could you provide a source for the image? I found a source that helps prove it was a corps picture, but not one of the same resolution as you provided. If you possibly remember where you got the image from, could you put it on the image description page (preferably in place of the lousy URL I put)

Nominating the redundant OU logo
Hi, I just want to inform you that I nominated your Image:OUlogo.PNG image upload for deletion because I updated your Image:OU-Logo.PNG which makes the non dash one meaning less besides having a lower resolution. :-) --J. Nguyen 05:31, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Rota.PNG
Thanks for uploading Image:Rota.PNG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:44, 6 December 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —  pd_THOR  undefined | 17:44, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:CNH.PNG
Thanks for uploading Image:CNH.PNG. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 07:02, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:OSU.PNG
Thank you for uploading Image:OSU.PNG. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 14:24, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Duplicate images uploaded
Thanks for uploading Image:Strait of Tartary.PNG. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Tartar Strait.PNG.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Allopathic medicine

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was keep. --Ngb?!? 22:42, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Allopathic medicine
Inappropriate tone and content of the article and vandalism of the discussion page.

The appropriate content for the page "allopathic medicine" is already covered by the page "medicine." If anything, this page should say "see medicine." As an encylopedia article, it should discuss the topic of allopathic or mainstream medicine. I don't think there should be an article discussing just the roots of the word. That is appropriate to a dictionary entry - not an encyclopedia.

The article currently consists of a criticism of homeopathy - which should go to the homeopathy page or another page. In the discussion page, several people made reference to the common usage of the term allopathic, including how it was used in the dictionary and by the National Institutes of Health. Several of the references and comments that were brought up in the discussion page were deleted from the page. This vandalism made it difficult to have a civil discussion about the content. .

 * Keep. Hi, Com-Cast guy! You tried - and failed - to make this same case on the talk page of the article months ago: the last time the talk page has been edited is July 2005. A few notes: [1] you've put the deletion page in the wrong place (it belongs in Articles for Deletion, not "Miscellaneous deletion", and it shouldn't have a colon in its title). [2] discussion is not vandalism. [3] vandalism is not a reason for deletion. [4] as pointed out to you many times in your many incarnations, "allopathic medicine" is not the same thing as "medicine". - Nunh-huh 06:21, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. I agree with Nunh-hunh. This article explains exactly what the term means and where it comes from. It contains little discussion of homeopathy. The only motives for trying to delete it that I can imagine are dishonest and proselytizing ones. The article should stay. alteripse 10:17, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with homeopathy. The terminology is purely a product of the homeopathic doctrine, no more and no less. JFW | T@lk  22:59, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I share your view of the term, but think we should have an article that explains exactly where it came from so people understand it should not be used as a synonym for scientific or conventional medicine. I would vote for keeping it distinct from the homeopathy article. alteripse 23:12, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep I too think that this should be kept separate from homeopathy as the term is in common use among adherents of many different forms of alternative medicine despite it's being 'coined' by Hahnemann. Doc 15:21, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree with Mel Rader. Allopathic medicine is commonly used to mean conventional medicine - and this article is way out of line.

 * Keep. Although I agree with JFW's statement, the Homeopathy article is currently overloaded. Edwardian 19:08, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Jonathan Pallant
I have placed a tag on the article Jonathan Pallant, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. I did this because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person but it does not indicate how or why that person is notable. If the person really is notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly to indicate why, and also put a note on Talk:Jonathan Pallant. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. You might also want to read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles.

Proposed deletion of Patrick Hamilton's Prophecy
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Patrick Hamilton's Prophecy, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process  because of the following concern:
 * We already have a Patrick Hamilton (martyr) article. This appears to have been created as WP:SPAM or WP:HOAX to promote the YouTube video of "zombies" attacking the town.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Ant cricket

The Myrmecophilidae or ant-loving crickets are rarely encountered relatives of mole crickets. They are very small, wingless, and flattened, resembling small cockroach nymphs. The few genera contain fewer than 100 species. Ant crickets are yellow, brown, or nearly black in color. They do not produce sound, and lack both wings and tympanal organs ("ears") on the front tibia.

Species of the subfamily Bothriophylacinae live in caves and the burrows of desert vertebrates rather than ant nests. The three extant ant cricket genera (subfamily Myrmecophilinae) are obligate kleptoparasites of ants. They obtain food by soliciting trophallaxis in their host ants or by scraping off waxes from the bodies of ants.

Henry Hotze

Henry Hotze (September 2, 1833 – April 19, 1887) was a Swiss American propagandist for the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. He acted as a Confederate agent in Great Britain, attempting to build support for the Southern cause there. Hotze attempted to use liberal arguments of self-determination in favor of national independence, echoing the failed European revolutions of 1848. He also promised that the Confederacy would be a low-tariff nation in contrast to the high-tariff United States, and he emphasized the consequences of cotton shortages for the industrial workers in Britain, as caused by the Union blockade of Southern ports.

Early life and career
He was the son of Rudolph Hotze, a captain in the French Royal Service, and Sophie Esslinger. He was educated in a Jesuit setting and emigrated to the United States in his youth. He became a naturalized citizen in 1855, and lived in Mobile, Alabama, where he made important connections through his social skills and intelligence. He had strong racial opinions. In 1856 Hotze was hired by Josiah C. Nott to translate Joseph Arthur Comte de Gobineau's An Essay on the Inequality of the Human Races entitled The Moral and Intellectual Diversity of Races.

In 1858, he went to the southern commercial convention as a delegate for Mobile. He was a secretary for the U.S. legation in Brussels in 1858 and 1859, and when he returned, worked as an associate editor of the Mobile Register, owned by John Forsyth.

He joined the Mobile Cadets when the Civil War began. On May 30, 1861, he became a clerk in Richmond to the adjutant general. Secretary of War L. P. Walker ordered Hotze to go to London to assist in providing funds for Confederate agents in Europe, and help with the acquisition of munitions and supplies for the conflict. He went through the North and Canada before his departure, and collected some intelligence on the Union's mobilization efforts.

Agent in Europe

He arrived in London on October 5 and came to the determination that the Confederacy needed a strong diplomatic and propaganda effort in Europe. He returned to Richmond and made his argument to the Confederate leadership. On November 14, he was created an agent with the core task of influencing British public opinion toward supporting the Confederacy. Hotze was given $750 by the Confederate government to influence the British press with pro-Confederate propaganda. Until the end of the war, he made substantial and vigorous activities to this end.

Hotze realized that propaganda effort had to be about more than cotton alone. He appealed to anti-American sentiment in the United Kingdom, British naval rights, and the rights of smaller nations. He paid English journalists to support the cause and wrote his own pieces in the Morning Post, the London Standard, the Herald, and the financial weekly paper Money and Market Review.

His first piece in the British press was published on February 23,1862, in the influential Morning Post, the newspaper loyal to then British Prime Minister Lord Palmerston.

In May 1862, he created a weekly journal, The Index, which was perhaps the best Confederate propaganda activity in Europe. It had a circulation of around 2,000 and was distributed primarily in Britain but was also read in France, Ireland, and even sent back to the Union itself. Hotze's realism and subtlety in his propaganda differed with other Confederate agents in Europe like Edwin De Leon, James Williams, Felix Senac, John Slidell, and Paul Pecquet du Bellet. With a total of sixteen pages, The Index appeared every week on Thursdays. The newspaper cost six pence and thirty shillings for an annual subscription. By the month of July 1864, though sales had been increasing very slowly since 1862, sales revenue of The Index finally became sufficient to amortize the total running costs of the paper. The offices of The Index were located on London's Fleet Street, two doors down from The London American, the official pro-Union propaganda journal.

Contributors to The Index included British authors, as well as Americans living in London such as Albert Taylor Bledsoe and John Reuben Thompson.

According to Serge Noirsain of the Confederate Historical Association of Belgium, "Hotze called upon the assistance of professional journalists on the European continent. Filippo Manetta was a long-standing Italian friend of a member of the Confederate diplomatic mission in London, who had lived for a while in Virginia. Using the same methods as Hotze in England, Manetta managed to successfully infiltrate the Italian media, in particular the Turin press. This complicity produced a profitable exchange of information between The Index and the best newspapers on the European market. When sources were available, Hotze developed topics that influenced or helped the Confederate envoys in their official missions. As a result, his columns in The Index and their echoes in other well-known newspapers helped consolidate the logic behind the policies of the South".

Hotze participated in a number of other important activities to support the south. He assisted in writing Lord Campbell's speech against the Union blockade given in the House of Lords on March 10, 1862. He also had an important dinner with William Ewart Gladstone (according to Gladstone's papers, July 31, 1862), where he stressed that the Union and Confederacy could negotiate their boundaries in a mediation effort. As 1862 moved on and after the battle of Antietam and the Emancipation Proclamation, Hotze became more frustrated over the course of public opinion in Great Britain.

In London, Hotze took under his wing the famous Confederate spy Belle Boyd who had fled to England. Boyd had landed in Liverpool and made her way to London to meet Hotze, upon the recommendation of the Confederacy's Secretary of State. Boyd soon after married Union naval officer Samuel Wylde Hardinge in London on August 24, 1864. Though a shock to many, in light of the Civil War raging back home, the ceremony was nonetheless attended by influential Confederates such as Hotze, Caleb Huse, John Walker Fearn, John L. O'Sullivan (who had coined the phrase "Manifest Destiny") and James Williams. Both O'Sullivan and Williams had previously been US Ambassadors; O'Sullivan to Portugal and Williams to the Ottoman Empire.

Last efforts and post-war activities
After the death of Stonewall Jackson prompted some sympathy for the south, Hotze attempted to organize pro-Confederacy meetings in Manchester, Sheffield, Preston and elsewhere to support a House of Commons resolution, initiated by J. A. Roebuck, for recognition of the Confederacy. Its failure and withdrawal on July 13, 1863, seemed like the end of hope for diplomatic solutions to Hotze. When James M. Mason was withdrawn, Hotze was the only remaining agent for the Confederacy in Britain.

He continued to draw on negative sentiments related to Union actions against Confederate attempts to build ironclad ships in Britain and concerns over occasional Union actions against British shipping. He also worked to obtain signatures for petitions for peace and was able to influence French newspapers by affecting Havas Agency telegraphs.

According to Serge Noirsain, Hotze "took time to analyze the routing of information in France. He learned that it was the Havas Agency that spread the world news to the French press. By way of intrigues, he managed to make friends with Auguste Havas and convince him to exploit his exclusive information coming supposedly directly from the New World. Of course he took care not to reveal his true sources...In addition to France and Great Britain, Hotze was soon put in charge of Confederate propaganda in Ireland and in the German kingdoms. However, those nations had gradually passed under the control of Union agents who were provided with considerable funds. In spite of some local successes, Richmond advised Hotze not to focus on those areas because of the enormous amount of energy that this operation would require."

In the long run Hotze's strong feelings about slavery made him averse to work with Jefferson Davis, whose final offer to accept emancipation in exchange for European recognition he flatly rejected.

After the war, he refused to return to the United States and remained in Europe working as a journalist, mostly Paris. He returned to London during the Franco-Prussian War and is known to have visited Istanbul for a newspaper assignment.

Shortly after the war, Hotze joined the rifle manufacturing company Martini, Tanner & Co. as senior partner. The company was later renamed Martini, Hotze, & Co. The company operated from the rue de Lisbonne in Paris.

Hotze died of a stomach cancer in Zug, Switzerland on April 19, 1887, at the age of 53.

Marriage to Ruby Angela Senac
Henry Hotze married Ruby Senac in 1867 at the American Legation in Paris. A religious ceremony was held on December 7, 1867, at the Church of Saint Augustine in Paris by Rev. Crabod, 1st Vicar.

Ruby Senac, born in Mobile on January 4, 1844, was the daughter of Felix Senac and Marie Louise Hollinger. She had come to England with her parents in 1863 and had appeared at Court, being presented to Queen Victoria. Ruby had been educated in the United States and had attended Georgetown Visitation Academy in Washington until 1858. Her father Felix Senac, born in Pensacola on July 28, 1815, to Pierre Senac and Agnes Senac, had been the Confederacy's purchasing agent and paymaster in New Orleans and then Europe. Felix Senac, who had married Marie Louise Hollinger on April 16, 1843, began his military career in Florida in June 1834 before being dismissed as purser on August 15, 1856. Senac had been stationed on Key West's Fort Taylor as Chief Clerk in the 1850s, responsible for the construction and budget of the newly built Fort Taylor.

Felix Senac enlisted in the Confederate navy on July 22, 1861, and died on January 27, 1866, in Wiesbaden, Germany. His widow and daughter returned to Paris and it was there that Ruby first met Hotze. The Senacs were related to Angela Sylvania Moreno, the wife of Stephen Mallory, Secretary of the Navy of the Confederacy. The Senac family and Moreno family were related through Fernando Moreno (1771–1830), who had married Florentina Senac in 1788 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Felix Senac was also the maternal uncle of Confederate Second Lieutenant John Lawrence Rapier.

The Hotze couple and Ruby's mother lived in the St Mary Abbotts area of Kensington in 1871, and were still living in Kensington as late as 1881. Following Hotze's death in 1887, Ruby survived her husband by several decades. She continued to live in England and then moved to Washington, D.C., with her mother Marie Louise who died on October 2, 1898. Ruby was employed in the Census Office on July 1, 1890, and then became a clerk in the Signal Corps. She was transferred to the Weather Bureau in 1891. She died on January 3, 1929, in Washington, D.C., at the age of 84. She is buried at Mount Olivet Cemetery.
