September 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Kelly Clarkson discography, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. You need to use reference citations which lead to sources actually supporting the claims; you can't just borrow any nearby ref without following it and checking whether it includes the necessary details. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 18:54, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Loud (Rihanna album). Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon! 16:55, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Loud (Rihanna album). Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. You've been warned once already about this, and you've done it again. Raining Men is the third official single from Loud. Do not change again, otherwise you could be blocked. Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon! 20:53, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Stop!

Stop messing about with the singles chronology of Loud. I saw you removed Raining Men (even though it is the third single as it got radio release) and then you added it back in again. I've warned you before about removing it, and you still are not understanding to leave it alone. Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon! 01:33, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Cut Off Time

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Cut Off Time, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Dance Bailalo. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 18:15, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Melanie, welcome to Wikipedia. It looks like the Cut Off Time article you created is an exact copy of Dance Bailalo. I thought maybe you were using that because the songs have a lot of similar info and you're planning on editing it. I would suggest though to start out creating an article in your sandbox first and get it in good shape before making it an article. The article right now could get deleted because it is a duplicate. If you don't know how to use the sandbox let me know and I can help. Happy editing! AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 18:48, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Cut Off Time, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Push Push (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Removing Speedy at Party O'Clock

Welcome to Wikipedia, thank you for taking the time to create a page here. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you created yourself. Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the deletion tag you removed from Party O'Clock. Please do not continue to remove the deletion tag, instead, if you disagree with the deletion, you can follow these steps:

1. Go to the page by clicking this link. Once there, select the button that says Click here to contest this speedy deletion.
2. This will take you to the talk page, where you can make your case by explaining why the page does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion.

Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do. For further help about the deletion, you could contact the user who first placed the tag or a highly active user who is willingly to help with deletion. This message was left by a bot, so please do not contact the bot about the deletion. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 21:11, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Katdelunadropitlow.JPG

A tag has been placed on File:Katdelunadropitlow.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Fair use image size

Per WP:NFCC, fair use images should use a low resolution. I have seen you uploading high resolution versions of images already available in lower resolutions. Please stop doing that. --Stefan2 (talk) 23:32, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Stop uploading higher resolution copies of images that are sufficient. If this continues, it will be considered vandalism and you may be blocked. Dan56 (talk) 22:08, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate images to Wikipedia, as you did to File:Ciara-The-Evolution.jpg. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Dan56 (talk) 20:09, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you add an inappropriate image, as you did at File:Goodies cover.jpg, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Dan56 (talk) 18:26, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

I'm Out (Shannon Bex song) notability

I see you recently added a page on I'm Out (Shannon Bex song). Note that as per WP:MUSIC "A single requires its own notability, and that notability is not inherited and requires independent evidence. That a single is an officially released recording by a notable musician or ensemble is not by itself reason for a standalone article." This means having significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

I don't see any indication in this article that this single is independently notable. Please add content to the article indicating the single's notability, preferably citations of reliable sources that discuss the subject. Otherwise someone may suggest deleting the article. DES ^(talk) 21:08, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of I'm Out (Shannon Bex song)

The article I'm Out (Shannon Bex song) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Nothing notable about this song, fails WP:NALBUMS.

While all 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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Orphaned non-free media (File:TheSaturdaysWordshaker.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:TheSaturdaysWordshaker.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 03:48, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
