You stated in an email that you sent that I have emailed you. I have not sent you any email and would have no reason to. The welcome message above is for all Wikipedians and has good information for new users contained in it. The request to stop removing content refers to your removal of content form the Talk:Garden City, New York page which is considered vandalism. That also includes the image messages that you have removed from this page. Removing messages and tags will not prevent deletion. The messages about images are to tell you that images have to the source they came from and copyright information. If that information is not provided they must be deleted. So the messages inform you of that so that you can provide the information to keep them from being deleted. Again I have not sent you any emails. Thanks.--Dakota ~ ° 09:03, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Images
editAberdude, I've rolled back some of your reverts of image pages, because you're required to produce the source of the image e.g. a link to the website you took it from, or a citation if it's from an offline publication. We're not allowed to upload images willy nilly. Also, you'll need to say what the terms of use are e.g. whether it's in the public domain, or whether you're claiming fair use. Wikipedia:Images and Wikipedia:Image use policy should get you started on where to look for the rules. Cheers, SlimVirgin (talk) 22:31, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
