Orphaned non-free image (File:Gallery-noiseworks.jpg)

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Gallery-noiseworks.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 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. FileBot (talk) 21:10, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

November 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Jump (Flo Rida song), did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.  AcroX  14:18, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of previously published material to our articles as you apparently did to Disturbed. Please cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. F-22 Raptör^{Aces High♠} 18:08, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. You are even ignoring the notes in place. Sigh. Nymf _hideliho! 13:45, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Let me reiterate the above note, it is not okay to go around changing genres as you see fit. Please stop. Nymf _hideliho! 17:14, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Audio Secrecy

I didn't delete your article; what I deleted was the redirect left behind after another user, Acather96 (talk · contribs), moved it back into Articles for Creation with an edit summary saying that it should not have been moved out because it was still on "hold". I have asked Acather96 to let you know what its status is.

Looking at it (it's not lost, it's at WP:Articles for creation/Audio Secrecy ) I guess the reason is because it's about an unreleased album, and those are rarely accepted - see WP:NALBUMS:

"Separate articles should not be created until there is sufficient reliably sourced information about a future release... In a few special cases, an unreleased album may qualify for an advance article if there is sufficient verifiable and properly referenced information about it... However, this only applies to a very small number of exceptionally high-profile projects—generally, an album should not have an independent article until its title, track listing and release date have all been publicly confirmed by the artist or their record label."

If the article is not accepted, or if you put it into the main space and it is nominated for deletion because of WP:NALBUMS, you can ask for it to be userfied (put into a user subpage) or incubated (put into a sort of "holding pen" called the WP:Article Incubator) until the album is released. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 14:00, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi Richard,

I was the one who basically kick started the incident, so please direct all anger towards me :). To be honest, I am still slightly confused why you accepted your own submission at Afc while it was on hold- could you explain? Me thinks it was simply a way to bypass the new pages patrol. Please, while there is no policy to stop you, do not do this again. With regards to JohnCD, he was (as stated) only deleting the redirect that still linked to the page. Thanks, Acather96 (talk) 18:58, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Hey, i must of clicked that link thinking it meant my article was accept, im new to wikipedia and still need to look out for things like that. So where is the article now, has it been removed??? Richard.darren (talk) 04:36, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Feedback archived

Hi there.

A while ago, you requested feedback in WP:FEED. Because it has been a while, and you'd received at least some response there, I have now archived the replies in Wikipedia:Requests for feedback/Archive/27. Please do not edit that page though; if you require further feedback, add a new request on WP:FEED.

I am trying to clear the backlogs; it would help us a lot if you could look at the requests from other users on WP:FEED and add any comments to help them out. Anyone can respond there, so please do take a look, and comment on the articles from other people.

If you want help with anything at all, you could either;

• Leave a message on my own talk page; OR
• Use a {{helpme}} - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put {{helpme}}, and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~~~~ at the end; OR
• Talk to us live, with this or this.

The last of those is particularly useful - please try it; pop in now and say hello. Best,  Chzz  ►  02:38, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Notice

Do not add breaks to genres on music articles as you did to Avenged Sevenfold. And do not change other editors' discussion page comments as you did to Talk:Bullet for My Valentine. I hope that this will be the only time that you will have to be asked to follow the guidelines and rules of Wikipedia. • GunMetal Angel 17:01, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Hello and welcome! I edit Wikipedia too, under the username Calabe1992. Wikipedia is written by people like you and me, so thank you for taking the time to participate. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made to Template:Guns N' Roses with this edit, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions about editing, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Calabe1992 (talk) 17:46, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Soundwave (Australian music festival), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Slipknot (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.

Re: My Chemical Romance

Please refrain from changing genres, as you did to My Chemical Romance, without providing a source and without establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive. The hidden note clearly says that all those genres are supported by sources in the Musical Style section (and they are). MrMoustacheMM (talk) 23:53, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

June 2012

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to change genres without discussion or sources, as you did at Warning (Green Day album), you may be blocked from editing. Dan56 (talk) 05:43, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

I looked through the discussion page and it looked like it had been decided that genre didn't belong so I removed it. Thought it was alright to do that, since it wasn't I'm sorry. Richard.darren (talk) 09:53, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited In Waves, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Carl Brown (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.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at James Hetfield, you may be blocked from editing. --Bongwarrior (talk) 00:16, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
