January 2010 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Akon discography, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. 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 re-adding the guest appearances section to the article. the majority of the section is already present elsewhere in the article and the other bits are completely unsourced so there is no proof that they actually are true. thanks Mister sparky (talk) 08:10, 12 January 2010 (UTC)Reply


File copyright problem with File:TQ Sexy Photo Shoot.jpg edit

 

Thank you for uploading File:TQ Sexy Photo Shoot.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 file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ww2censor (talk) 18:10, 13 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. One or more of the external links you added in this edit to the page Akon discography do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. You may wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. Gage (talk) 08:03, 14 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from attacking other contributors, as you did with this edit to User talk:GageSkidmore. Continued personal attacks may lead to being blocked for disruption. Comment on content, not on the contributor. Thank you. Gage (talk) 08:15, 14 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Reference reference guide edit

Hey, I saw your interaction over at Gage's page. I thought I'd throw you some links on the reference syntax. I'm not sure exactly what the dispute is, but this is the general page for reference info. Generally, the <ref>Citation goes here</ref> tag is sufficient. There's a tag on the toolbar for it. If you've got more complex citation issues then take a look at the first link, it has all the details. Shadowjams (talk) 08:44, 14 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use File:Mareko_interview.JPG edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Mareko_interview.JPG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 09:58, 16 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
