File copyright problem with File:Brittany York and Page Pennock.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Brittany York and Page Pennock.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing 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 the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

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 created in your upload log.

You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ww2censor (talk) 15:54, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Brittany York Crowning Moment.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Brittany York Crowning Moment.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 02:48, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Pageant contestant categories

Hello. I see you're new here and creating numerous new categories. I have to raise an issue though with your creation of pageant contestant categories. As a result of a categories-for-deletion discussion some time ago, it was decided that articles belong categorized as a pageant contestant only if the subject does not belong in any winner category - i.e., the subject has competed in (but never won) pageants but is notable for other reasons, like subsequently becoming an actress. All pageant winners should be categorized in the corresponding winner categories only. Categorizing additionally as a pageant contestant is obviously redundant in these instances, because you can't win a pageant without being a contestant. In other words, contestant categorization should be kept to a minimum. Therefore, something like Category:Beauty pageant contestants from Louisiana should be likely be Category:Beauty pageant winners from Louisiana. Winners: notable; contestants: not notable. Also, you need to start using references/citations. Your new articles are eligible for deletion nomination because they lack them.  Mbinebri  ^{talk ←} 04:24, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Julia Dalton

The article Julia Dalton has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.  Mbinebri  ^{talk ←} 17:19, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Re: your edits

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Wikipedia. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. 99.12.243.70 (talk) 19:33, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Among your contributions to the article on Brittany York is a series of trivial information--a Wikipedia article is not intended to include a listing of every television or promotional appearance a person makes, and surely is not the place to point out how much they talk about their dog--that, bluntly, is teen-zine material, appropriate for a blog. Removing the templates that refer to these edits w/o actually improving the article will inevitably be viewed as vandalism. I've introduced a discussion on the article talk page, which would be the right place for you to discuss the rationale for including trivia to the article. 99.12.243.70 (talk) 19:33, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. 76.248.149.168 (talk) 21:59, 27 May 2011 (UTC) As before, until you or another editor cleans the trivia from the article it merits a tag for unencyclopedic content.

If you're not up for it, perhaps you'd like me to copy edit it. 76.248.149.168 (talk) 21:59, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Given your repeated removal of maintenance templates, I've brought this to a noticeboard, where you might like to comment [1]. Otherwise it seems that rather than use edit summaries or talk pages you just forge ahead, preferring to edit war. 76.248.149.168 (talk) 22:10, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia without resolving the problem that the template refers to may be considered disruptive editing. Further edits of this type may result in your being blocked from editing Wikipedia. 76.248.149.168 (talk) 22:32, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Well, no. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. 76.248.149.168 (talk) 22:32, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Brittany York. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. --Bbb23 (talk) 17:00, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Brittany York. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:12, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
