License tagging for Image:Flavitop.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Flavitop.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 21:05, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Flavia.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Flavia.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Jusjih 19:30, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I'm STATicVapor. I noticed that you made a change to an article, SummerSlam (2014), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history 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. STATic message me! 23:37, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Although imaginably it wasn't vandalism. Well, you're welcome to explain it here. -- Hoary (talk) 22:12, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Joe Arpaio, you may be blocked from editing. --TMCk (talk) 19:45, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Wade Davis (baseball). Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again.

February 2017

Hello, I'm Trut-h-urts man. Your recent edit to the page Chris Carter (right-handed hitter) appears to have added premature information about a reported sports transaction, so it has been removed for now. The transaction is based on anonymous sources and/or awaiting an official announcement. If you believe the transaction has been completed, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Trut-h-urts man (T • C) 20:43, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Carmelo

For situations like Carmelo Anthony's, we generally wait for an official announcememnt per WP:SPORTSTRANS. Feel free to cite a reliable source when the deal is officially completed. Thanks.—Bagumba (talk) 17:36, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

Please stop updating this article until the deal is official. Thanks Rikster2 (talk) 19:16, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

Blocked

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Why am I blocked? I don't even know what I did to get blocked. This is ridiculous.}}.

Enigma^msg 14:16, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Your recent edits are bad and that's after you've been warned repeatedly here at your talk page. Making an edit you knew was inappropriate at the Hall article and edit--warring at Carmelo Anthony contrary to policy. Enigma^msg 19:45, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

I mentioned a factual statement mentioned in a news article on Hall's page, that I cited as such. How that was "inappropriate" is beyond me. I don't know what "edit warring" is. I was updating a news story, again citing from sources like ESPN.

You've been editing here a long time. How exactly was this edit appropriate? Todd Gleason is a reader of an Internet column who sent Bill Simmons an e-mail. That means it should be on Hall's Wikipedia page? Either you're playing dumb or there's a violation of WP:COMPETENT here. As for "updating", as you've been repeatedly told, we don't update until there's a WP:RS confirming it. Wikipedia is not here to report rumors. Enigma^msg 02:46, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

Infoboxes

Hello, please do not change the layout of college football infoboxes (or any infobox for that matter) as you did in this edit. Cluttering it up like that makes is harder for users (especially new users) to read and edit the infobox. Thanks, Corky ^{Buzz by the Hornet's Nest} 20:43, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
