User:Sam Spade - - Please stop adding nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Tom Harrison Talk 00:03, 10 January 2006 (UTC) - - Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Super Bowl XL, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --W.marsh 00:24, 6 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Deal or No Deal

edit

Hi, it's not nice (and it's against wiki rules) to add spoiler info before a show has aired. Please don't do it again. Thanks, Lambertman 14:09, 23 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Health Wiki Research

edit

A colleague and I are conducting a study on health wikis. We are looking at how wikis co-construct health information and create communities. We noticed that you are a frequent contributor to Wikipedia on health topics.

Please consider taking our survey here.

This research will help wikipedia and other wikis understand how health information is co-created and used.

We are from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Our university research committee approved the project.

Apologies

edit

The edits I believed were vadalism were made to the D-Yikes! talk page. I've removed my warning, which was given in error. I wasn't paying close enough attention. I'm sorry. Wysdom 19:11, 15 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:CenterLineHSJROTCSSI_MI.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, this is in fact not the case[1][2]. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial. See our non-free content guidelines for more more information.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. Carlosguitar 04:23, 8 November 2007 (UTC)Reply


Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Mascot.gif

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Mascot.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 20:16, 5 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm ReformedArsenal. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Martin Luther because it didn't appear constructive. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!
