Image Tagging Image:BillySmith02.jpg edit

 
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:BillySmith02.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 you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read 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, please check 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. Thank you. Dethomas 01:29, 9 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Image copyright problem with Image:Emery_ray060311.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Emery_ray060311.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

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

Lakehead University Edits edit

Hello, TheAxeGrinder. I noticed you added a link to the Lakehead University article which contained another link to commercial product endorsements. The blog to which your original linked also does not contain the words you used - "back water" to describe LU, and is unrelated to the matter of the YaleShmale controversy. Perhaps a more suitable link should be used or it should be deleted and the text be revised. Nganga2 21:50, 2 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

October 2007 edit

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. It might be best to stop re-adding the section, until a consensus is reached on the articles' talk page. Also, demanding that people not remove the content isn't appropriate. - Rjd0060 05:25, 25 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Jaromír Jágr edit

There are four reasons I removed your additions to the Jaromír Jágr article:

  1. The addition of criticisms of his on-ice play to the off-ice incidents sections makes no sense whatsoever.
  2. The link you added as a reference wasn't formatted correctly.
  3. The link you added as a reference does not really support your commentary on Jágr. The article did say "moody," but not a selfish or "play when I want to" attitude. The article also wasn't clear about the time period during which his play or attitude changed. Everything on Wikipedia must be NPOV and verifiable.
  4. As a general rule, only the first word of a section is capitalized.

I'm no Jágr fanboy, just a Wikipedian who strives to make sure rules are followed. For example, keeping a neutral point a view is a rule. Also, comments about content and especially about users should never be included in an edit summary. --Muéro(talk/c) 02:24, 22 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Nordiques proposed.jpg.ext, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion.

Orphaned non-free image File:Nordiques proposed.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Nordiques proposed.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 05:14, 4 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

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.
