HP information: stop, please.

edit

Please stop adding HP scaling and disclaimer info as you have done three times so far. Please look at the edit summaries of editors who have reverted it, and participate in a discussion at the article talk page. This is borderline edit warring, and if you continue to do this you may be blocked for violating WP:3RR. tedder (talk) 19:47, 22 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Apologies - :-) Mozilla wigged and when I hit Save, it didn't display on the page - so..... yadda yadda, it did it till it displayed (apparently 3 times). I'll look at the edit page next time. Merry Christmas - Marc

File permission problem with File:Yamaha yzf750r Team Kinkos AMA Supersport Jason Pridmore.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Yamaha yzf750r Team Kinkos AMA Supersport Jason Pridmore.jpg, which you've sourced to http://www.factorypro.com/images/bikes/bike_Yam,yzf750r,Pridmore,Salvisberg,TeamKinkos.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en wikimedia.org.

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:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 19:27, 3 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:52, 23 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
