Lyrics edit

Hello. Please don't add lyrics to Wikipedia articles: they are copyrighted, and adding them is a possible copyright violation. Unofficial websites like sing365.com are violating copyright as well, and linking to them is forbidden by Wikipedia's external links guideline. You can link to the official website instead (for AC/DC, lyrics can be found here, clicking on "click here for lyrics"). Thanks. Mushroom (Talk) 22:55, 7 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Copyrights again (Problem solved) edit

I appreciate your work on Canadian racing, but you can't copy text from websites or their translations and directly add it. I've removed the text from Autodrome St. Eustache and Barrie Speedway and replaced it with a smaller, but safe description. If you know about these and can add information to the articels (Without copying), I'd appreciate it :). Thanx again, 68.39.174.238 21:16, 1 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for Image:NASCAR Logo.gif edit

Thanks for uploading Image:NASCAR Logo.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 20:10, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Your recent edit to Neighborhood Excellence 400 (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior.

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.
