File permission problem with File:CPWVa Party Symbol.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:CPWVa Party Symbol.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:54, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Articles on state parties

The redirects were because the articles didn't meet our criteria at WP:ORG. I've reestablished them (except one) and turned two articles into redirects for those reasons. As you are new I don't expect you to necessarily know about our guidelines, but this was explained in the edit summaries when the old articles were made redirects.

We insist on reliable sources, and Renew America does not qualify

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Southern Poverty Law Center, you may be blocked from editing. --Orange Mike | Talk 02:10, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

Neither does Chuck Baldwin, of course. --Orange Mike | Talk 03:17, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

Drop the attempt to state as fact Renew America's views on the SPLC please. It's becoming tendentious. You were even reverted at the SPLC's own article. Like it or not, we use it as a source. Dougweller (talk) 09:23, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

Another comment on sources

Have you read WP:VERIFY and WP:RS? We can't use our own articles as sources, and sources must specifically discuss the matter at hand. Thus the CP source you used here] isn't a source for "there are no connections between the two other than the name". Two reasons for that. First, it doesn't mention the old party. Secondly, in this specific case we'd need a source that meets WP:RS and is independent of the CP. At best we could say that the "CP states...." but not to assert it as fact.

Disambiguation link notification for December 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Constitution Party of Georgia, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Georgia Constitution and Georgia (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of Constitution Party of Hawaii

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Constitution Party of Hawaii requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. RadioFan (talk) 02:34, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Ad Orientem (talk) 17:28, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

February 2014

Hello, I'm Dougweller. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Constitution Party of Alabama that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia needs people like you and me to collaborate, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Clearly not WP:VANDALISM - you really should strike through your comment. Dougweller (talk) 15:44, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Possible COI

Hi. I wanted to give you a heads up that I have asked the WP:COI people to take a look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Constitution Party of Alabama and the related articles. Given that we disagree on the notability of the articles and that I am the nom for the AfD, I am going to recuse myself from the COI discussion. You can read my request for their review at WP:COIN. I also want to reassure you that I am not pursuing some vendetta against you or any political party (I don't even vote). When it comes to reviewing articles, I call it as I see it based exclusively on the applicable guidelines as I understand them. Nor do I claim infallibility. If facts change, or some I had not properly considered are brought to my attention I have no problem with changing my mind. I withdrew an AfD nom just yesterday when facts I had failed to consider were pointed out to me. Best regards -Ad Orientem (talk) 06:28, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would ask that you assume good faith while interacting with other editors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Your edit summary at several articles stating "There is/was clearly NO CONTROLLING AUTHORITY to any of it and it appeared to have a political agenda since neither any of the Libertarian or Green Party state pages were similarly attacked" is clearly lacking good faith and seems to be a personal attack on those nominating such articles for deletion. Dougweller (talk) 13:58, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

You are of course free to nominate any article for deletion that fails to meet our notability criteria. Dougweller (talk) 14:01, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Your removal of several AfD templates

• [1]
• [2]
• [3]
• [4]

Please do not remove these templates. I have restored them to the articles you removed them from. Removing these templates is vandalism; if continued, this will result in your being blocked from editing. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:52, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:CPWVa God Family Republic Logo.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:CPWVa God Family Republic Logo.jpg. 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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. James086^Talk 04:59, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Constitution Party & Arkansas

According to the ballot access source (http://ballot-access.org/2015/07/30/july-2015-ballot-access-news-print-edition/), the Constitution Party does not have ballot access in Arkansas yet. --Stabila711 (talk) 18:02, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Apologies. My mistake. I leave the removal of this comment up to you. --Stabila711 (talk) 18:20, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
