Recent edits to Russian Orthodox Church

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Russian Orthodox Church, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

Replaceable fair use File:Pope Francis administers the sacrament of confession to a penitent.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Pope Francis administers the sacrament of confession to a penitent.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 22:11, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Orthodox man, praying.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Orthodox man, praying.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. --B-bot (talk) 02:59, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Donald Trump wins.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Donald Trump wins.jpg. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Alex Bakharev (talk) 02:36, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Ayn Rand. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Alex Bakharev (talk) 02:38, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

Ayn Rand

I tried to revert the edits you made to Ayn Rand but someone beat me to it. There were numerous problems with the edit. It was definitely not NPOV for one. It was not in keeping with the flow of the introduction for another. In part also your criticisms of Ayn Rand are present in wikipedia for example in the introduction already was present: "Literary critics received Rand's fiction with mixed reviews,[6] and academia generally ignored or rejected her philosophy". But a sourced strong criticism that would support what you wrote may be lacking. Objectivism (Ayn_Rand)#Intellectual impact also has some interesting criticisms. Anyway, wanted to give you a heads up that your edit was reverted. --User:Dwarf Kirlston - talk 02:42, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Donald Trump wins.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Donald Trump wins.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted content borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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 "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.

Hello, I'm Donner60. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Laci Green, but you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 00:24, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Actually, what was the point of you edit anyway? You call yourself a philosopher and you just parrot talk radio mumbo-jumbo? There is lots of useful editing that can be done, why not give it a try? Carptrash (talk) 00:29, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Laci Green. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Drewmutt (talk) 00:40, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Please stop attacking other contributors, as you did with this edit to User:Drewmutt. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Sunmist (talk) 00:44, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at User:Sunmist. Sunmist (talk) 00:46, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
