It might not have been your intent, but you recently removed content from Kellogg School of Management. Please be careful not to remove content from Wikipedia without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Thank you.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. As a member of the Wikipedia community, I would like to remind you of Wikipedia's neutral-point-of-view policy for editors, which you appear to have violated at Sex tourism. In the meantime, please be bold and continue contributing to Wikipedia. Thank you! OhNoitsJamie Talk 22:54, 27 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

You have been placing a wikilink to the film Jesus Camp on a large number of pages, and other editors have been removing this link. First of all, if you add something to a page, and someone removes it, you should first go to the talk page and discuss what you believe to be the benefits of including the link on the page. Simply going back and readding the link after it has been removed is considered edit warring (and is clearly not productive). You cannot "win" the content dispute by sheer will. Re-adding previously removed content without discussion is NOT in the spirit of community cooperation. I urge you to stop this slow edit war, and discuss these issues on the corresponding talk pages. Thanks for your consideration.--Andrew c 22:26, 20 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Jostalogo1.gif)

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Jostalogo1.gif. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Vandalism

  Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Beetlejuice (entertainer), you will be blocked from editing.

Fair use rationale for Image:JostaBottles.gif

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:JostaBottles.gif. I notice the image 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. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 non-free media 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. Rettetast (talk) 20:36, 1 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Image:Pepsistuffcindy1.jpg

edit

I have tagged Image:Pepsistuffcindy1.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you.

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.
