Notification 1 edit

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

This message is informational only and does not imply misconduct regarding your contributions to date.

March 2015 edit

  Hello, I'm RightCowLeftCoast. I noticed that you made a change to an article, War on Terror, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Several of the sources provided are not reliable sources, or did not verify the number provided. Some of the content was not supported with a reliable source, and thus could be seen as original research. Some of the numbers provided were about the wrong subject (such as the link to the Afghan War (which covered the Soviet-Afghan War)). Please discuss this on the article's talk page. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 19:18, 16 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to War on Terror. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Synthesized content was removed per WP:BRD. Please do not re-add the content without first achieving consensus on the article's talk page.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 19:02, 17 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

War in Donbass edit

I added back the latest casualties info from the government, leaving pro-Russian fighter sources. The problem with their sources though is that during the conflict and even now, they had no central government to account for total losses as there are many separate factions fighting.

Your recent edits edit

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (  or  ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 08:43, 17 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

August 2016 edit

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Neil Breen, you may be blocked from editing. Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 23:06, 12 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:Photo of Stephen Wylie, son of John Wylie.png edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Photo of Stephen Wylie, son of John Wylie.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 15:59, 17 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Unused, low quality. No obvious use.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.
