‎Betrayal (2012 novel)

Hi. I have removed a significant chunk of text from ‎Betrayal (2012 novel) because it was copied straight from the novel's website. Wikipedia is free content and cannot accept copyrighted text. Best, Pichpich (talk) 01:34, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi again. I've reverted your re-insertion of the text which probably occurred while I was writing the message above. For further explanations of the issue, Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing is a good read. Cheers, Pichpich (talk) 01:44, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

PS: I've also removed the synopsis from Friends Forever (2012 novel) for the same reasons.

Look, I'm serious about this. You cannot reinsert this synopsis and this is non-negotiable. Introducing copyrighted content on Wikipedia will get you blocked from editing. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to help but you have to stop fighting over this. Pichpich (talk) 01:50, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Please make sure to include an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! Jim1138 (talk) 01:53, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Ferdinand Marcos

The material you added to Ferdinand Marcos was not associated with the article so I removed it. Please stay on topic. Thanks Jim1138 (talk) 02:00, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

corrupt people

WP:SPA might be thought of our edits trying to identify people who amassed large mounts illegally, but this is an online encyclopedia - not a blog (or other web mirror of wikipedia) - in which case WP:UNDUE and a few other policies are worth considering - also WP:RS is well worth a good read.. SatuSuro 02:57, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

July 2012

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Suharto. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.  — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:02, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Last warning

I hate to do it but you don't seem to understand the seriousness of the situation. You cannot build Wikipedia articles by violating other people's copyrights. I warned you yesterday but you returned today and copy-pasted chunks of text stolen from other websites to Love, Lies and Murder, Friends Forever (2012 novel) and Betrayal (2012 novel). This is completely unacceptable and you will be blocked from editing without further warning if this happens again. Pichpich (talk) 16:50, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Note that I've also reverted your changes to Alvin Patrimonio and Jun Limpot which also violate other webistes' copyrights. Please do not reinsert this material as is and make you understand Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing before expanding those articles. Pichpich (talk) 16:57, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Ariel "Aga" Aquino Muhlach.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Ariel "Aga" Aquino Muhlach.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 06:44, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Danielle Steel's Betrayal.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Danielle Steel's Betrayal.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.

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. Pichpich (talk) 11:58, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Images of living people

Hi. I just wanted to clarify why the images above were deleted. Non-free images of living people almost always fail to meet condition 1 of the non-free content criteria. Indeed, because these people are alive it is entirely possible to create a free image of that person. Pichpich (talk) 16:28, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Images of living people again

Hi. Let me repeat what I said earlier about these warnings you are getting about images. Non-free images of living people almost always fail to meet condition 1 of the non-free content criteria. Indeed, because these people are alive it is entirely possible to create a free image of that person. Please stop uploading such images since they will be inevitably deleted and only serve to waste other people's time. Thank you, Pichpich (talk) 02:23, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Danielle Steel's Betrayal.jpg)

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

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:23, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Lists of characters

Hi. I invite you to read Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction. Note in particular that plot summaries and related elements such as lists of characters should be commensurate to the rest of the article. In the case of articles for Danielle Steel novels, there's little content except the introductory sentence and accordingly there's no need for super detailed plots and lists of characters.

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.
