Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Batch1978.jpg. 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, 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, 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 Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:52, 19 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 16:52, 19 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free media (Image:RFarran.jpg)

edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:RFarran.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:28, 25 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hawks' Club

edit

Please justify your insertion of members whose notability we have no evidence for. If they are that notable, write an article on them so they are not redlinks. I have given my reasons on the Talk:Hawks' Club. Please do the same and give your reasons there. It is quite common to only list members, alumni etc. if they have an article. --Bduke (talk) 11:09, 26 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

You are continuing to ignore this point and are reverting the removal of redlinks to members of the Club. I am going to keep out of this argument as an administrator. If you continue to add this material without giving any justification, then you are likely to be blocked from editing wikipedia for disruption. When your edits are challenged, as these clearly have, you must give reasons both in an edit summary and on the talk page. --Bduke (talk) 23:43, 3 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
I see you are continuing to re-insert this material without giving a reason or discussing it on the talk page. This is your last warning. If you insert it again after it has been removed, I will block you from editing wikipedia. These edits of yours are disruptive. This time, take note. --Bduke (talk) 23:05, 4 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Reminder

edit

Please stop adding details about BCS to all sorts of articles; that is ruled out in our policies, specifically WP:UNDUE. "Famous and prestigious" is not a good idea either, under WP:PEACOCK. --Relata refero (disp.) 09:16, 28 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Bcscrests.JPG}

edit

Thank you for uploading Image:Bcscrests.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia: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. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 18:04, 3 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Blocked

edit
 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of a week in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for disruptive edits. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below.

.

You have been given plenty of warning which you chose to ignore. See the section above on the Hawks' Club. It is unacceptable to keep adding back material that several editors have indicated is not welcomed, particularly if, as you have done, no argument for the inclusion of the material is given either in an edit summary or on the talk page of the article. I am more than willing to remove your block if you enter into a fruitful discussion on the talk page of the articles you have been disrupting. If you do not do that and then at the end of your block carry on disrupting wikipedia, you will be blocked for a longer period or even indefinitely. It is up to you. --Bduke (talk) 23:23, 5 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

I see that you have returned after being blocked and continued with exactly the same disruptive editing without discussing matters in edit summaries on the talk page. I also noticed that you almost certainly made a disruptive edit, identical to the others, as a IP editor while you were banned. Please, please listen to us. Join in and discuss your edits on the talk page. Make a productive contribution to wikipedia. If you do not, you will be banned again and this time for an even longer period. --Bduke (talk) 22:07, 14 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

I see you are continuing to disrupt R. K. von Goldstein by adding material that is POV and that you continue to not explain your edits on the talk page or in an edit summary. This is your last warning. If you make another edit like that, you will be blocked again. --Bduke (talk) 01:49, 17 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

And you are still doing it. I have reverted material that is not appropriate for wikipedia. --Bduke (talk) 13:57, 26 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

You continue to ignore wikipedia policies and guidelines with your revert to R. K. von Goldstein. Terms like "elite" and "the highest honour of his alma mater" are unacceptable as they express a strong point of view and are contrary to the neutral point of view policy. You are also continue to make edits without explaining them in an edit summary. If you continue along this path, you will blocked indefinitely. This is my last word on this. Use edit summaries, follow policy and enter into dialog. That is the wiki way. --Bduke (talk) 01:22, 29 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

August 2008

edit

  Please do not remove information from articles, as you did to Bishop Cotton School (Shimla). Wikipedia is not censored, and content is not removed even if some believe it to be contentious. Please discuss this issue on the article's talk page to reach consensus rather than continuing to remove the disputed material. You also have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide the images that you may find offensive. Thank you. StaticGull  Talk  13:07, 16 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

edit

  If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article List of climbers, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
  4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 18:48, 13 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to List of climbers, did not appear to be constructive and has been removed. 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. Please stop adding non-notable people who have no Wikipedia article to this list. Now you are starting to vandalise the page, please stop. ww2censor (talk) 00:03, 26 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 6 months in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for persisting to add your POV re Cotton School.

File source problem with File:GELC.JPG

edit
 

Thank you for uploading File:GELC.JPG. 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, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
