may i ask what good your edits did to the article on Stacy Ferguson? because it seems that you only cut it down a bit rather than helping it. the incident was verifiable and fairly widely reported, so i can see no reason for you to delete it. adding verifiable content to an article never hurts. at the very least you could have brought something up on the talk page first. anyway, isn't this far more notable than here role on rocket power? that's useless information. i doubt that gets many google news hits, huh? please don't fall in with the wiki-zealots. Joeyramoney 05:00, 21 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

once again, please tell me why this is "not appropriate for a bio". i hate watching verifiable and notable information be deleted over and over again by the wiki-zealotry. explain to me how this improves the article. you can't just remove something from an article because you find it silly, when it mentioned in so many publications and is easily verifiable. for instance, i doubt that the incident that you added is circulated about the internet. this is. just let it go, man, just let it go. Joeyramoney 00:13, 22 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

it's going back up and you are being reported. deleting verifiable information from an article is bordering on vandalism. perhaps wikipedia would be a much finer place without deletionist wiki-zealots like yourself who somehow believe that removing info from an article helps it.

Image Tagging Image:Stacy Ferguson.jpg

edit
 
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Stacy Ferguson.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yamla 19:53, 23 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading Image:David Spade.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yamla 19:56, 23 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Blanking

edit

This message is regarding the page User talk:Miguellarios. Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! --Yamla 20:14, 23 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

 

This is your last warning. The next time you blank a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Yamla 20:16, 23 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked from editing Wikipedia for blanking pages. After the block expires, feel free to come back, but please make useful contributions instead.

Just warning you, Wikipedia has a policy called WP:3RR which you might want to read regarding your edits to Stacy Ferguson. --Yamla 20:17, 23 May 2006 (UTC)Reply


Image:300 Criminal Defense Lawyer Daniel Horowitz.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:300 Criminal Defense Lawyer Daniel Horowitz.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a simmilar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Abu Badali 15:49, 27 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Edmondson.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image 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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 19:00, 21 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Cooley102.jpg)

edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Cooley102.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 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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. BJBot (talk) 22:14, 8 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
