Disputed non-free use rationale for File:1998 VHS Advertisement of An American Tail 3.jpeg edit

 

Thank you for uploading File:1998 VHS Advertisement of An American Tail 3.jpeg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 02:19, 30 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Problem with your custom signature edit

You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
  1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
  2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
  3. Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
  4. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
  1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
  2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
  3. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. 19:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Note edit

I just saw your update to your user page. I'm so sorry for your loss. Schazjmd (talk) 21:51, 4 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Schazjmd Well, my dad was real old at age 77. I know. Retrosunshine2006 talk 03:21, 5 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for adding that section about Frozen on the Disney and LGBT representation in animation page! edit

I hadn't heard about that before, but I do remember hearing about the push (and rumors) that Elsa would have a girlfriend, although that didn't happen. There's apparently a LOT of articles about that, like here, here, here (the voice actress Idina Menzel who voices Elsa is on board with the idea), here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here, to name a few. So, I think that would be worth summarizing and putting on the page as well, choosing the best sources out of this lot, and perhaps some others. Historyday01 (talk) 20:43, 21 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

November 2022 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Chick tract, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. ButlerBlog (talk) 21:05, 17 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Sorry about that. I did not know. I have ADHD. I will be more pacific next time. Just don’t block me because I didn’t understand at the time. Retrosunshine2006 talk 21:15, 17 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

November 2023 edit

  Hello, I'm The Grand Delusion. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to 2016 in animation seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. The Grand Delusion(Send a message) 01:29, 4 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thanks and I apologize for that. The only mistake about your revert is on the section Television series debuts as the link to The Powerpuff Girls (2016 TV series) was reverted to The Powerpuff Girls from 1998, which ended in 2005, 11 years before the reboot. I’m one of the most reasonable editors and the most peaceful. I don’t like vandalism or false information on this site at all. Sometimes, I will correct the mistakes I’ve made. Don’t scold me too hard because I was born with Asperger Syndrome. Retrosunshine2006 talk 02:00, 4 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
