Disambiguation link notification for October 31

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Decepticons, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Fallen. 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.

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Crosshairs.png

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Crosshairs.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely 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. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please 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.

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.

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 ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:36, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Rampage (ROTF)

The article Rampage (ROTF) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication why this is a notable character.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Transformers: Age of Extinction (toy line)

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 Transformers: Age of Extinction (toy line), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. TTN (talk) 13:44, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

Recreating articles previously deleted

Recently the article Transformers: Age of Extinction (toy line) was deleted at AfD. The rationale was that this list was too WP:INDISCRIMINATE for Wikipedia and there was no sourcing to show where this particular toy line warranted an entry and that it didn't automatically inherit notability from the film series or the other Transformers toy lines. In this situation you should not recreate the article without some sort of evidence that the toys would now pass notability guidelines for lists. You should talk to the administrator who closed that AfD, Joe Decker, as he could help provide insight about this and if you think that the AfD close was wrong, he's also the person you would talk to.

Please be careful as recreating articles deleted at AfD can be seen as disruptive and I notice that you've already received quite a few warnings as it is - doing something like this again would likely be the last thing needed in order to justify blocking you from editing, possibly permanently.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Inexplicably removing citations

Per cited material and Talk:Transformers: The Last Knight, your edits regarding Volleybot have been reverted. The character is credited as Volleybot and not Topspin. Please note Wikipedia is not a place for speculation or fan theories. In addition, please do not inexplicably remove cited material and blank content thereafter as this can constitute vandalism.2600:1012:B155:6D4A:407F:D207:CC8D:2F4 (talk) 20:53, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Obscure and non-notable characters.

I've noticed your edits to Transformers related material and wanted to inquire about you adding seemingly obscure and uncredited characters to lists. According to WP:NOTE Wikipedia isn't a place of arbitrary non-notable content. Can you explain why you feel the inclusion of these characters to the lists you are contributing to is notable? They seem better suited for a Transformers centric wiki and not a general online encyclopedia like Wikipedia.2600:1012:B155:6D4A:407F:D207:CC8D:2F4 (talk) 11:13, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

September 2017

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Ironhide. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks! Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 16:41, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Please do not use thumbnails inside of infoboxes as you did to Mirage (Transformers). Note that this is your second warning regarding this issue. Continuing to add thumbnails will be seen as disruptive editing. For more information please see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE. When adding an image, instead of doing:

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

You can simply supply the name of the image. So in this case just do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Speedy deletion nomination of Nemesis Prime

Hello Dinohawk,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Nemesis Prime for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons. For more details please see the notice on the article.
