License tagging for Image:Sumi.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Sumi.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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:

Fair use rationale for Image:Dusty.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Dusty.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image 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 '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 fair use images lacking such an explanation 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.

  Regarding your comments on User:Steffan94‎: Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. GaryColemanFan (talk) 19:20, 18 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

  Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the article Chris Raab‎ has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. Calling people names in edit summaries is not appropriate for Wikipedia. GaryColemanFan (talk) 19:20, 18 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to WrestleCrap. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. GaryColemanFan (talk) 19:20, 18 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

If you are a product of the current fame-seeking generation, I can only advise you to do something truly important with your life. Being seen doing something absurd on television or being mentioned on a webcast isn't worthwhile fame. Make a difference in your community, visit another part of the world and try to address the wrongs you see there, or perform some truly notable task such as writing a novel. These things are worth being known for. Sadly, the news brings us people every day who make the world a much worse place in an attempt to get 15 minutes of fame. Take the example of a shooting spree in the central United States last year (Westroads Mall shooting). The note left by the (now deceased) gunman, so telling of the time in which we live, essentially said that he did it just so that he would be mentioned on the news. It makes me sad to see things like this...and very scared, as well. I don't want to be a part of a society where all fame is good fame. I urge you to reconsider if, looking back on your life, you would be proud to tell your grandchildren that you once added the word "rape" to a Wikipedia article and got mentioned on a podcast. I sincerely hope the answer is a resounding "No". I seem to have gone on for a while, so I will skip the intended discussion on why rape isn't a joking matter. Best wishes and I hope I have been enlightening, GaryColemanFan (talk) 20:37, 18 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

AfD nomination of Mark Madden

I have nominated Mark Madden, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mark Madden. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Simple E, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Bring it On and Sugar Hill (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.
