P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).

Images.

Please provide copyright information with the images you upload. Read over Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. Pyrop 22:03, Sep 30, 2004 (UTC)

Please don't revert others' productive edits to articles and images. Pyrop 20:39, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)

FOX News

Please do not continue to add "mainly republican run" to the introduction to the FOX News article. There is an enormous section below which documents alleged bias, and the political preferences of the network's staff are noted when relevant. The lead paragraph should be limited to the very basics.

United States Mint

If you do not stop vandalising this page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Do I make myself clear? —chris.lawson (talk) 16:43, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

Greatest decades

Your comment that TJive is not a Wikipedia "moderator" makes no sense. There is no such thing as a Wikipedia moderator.

Since your changes to the 1980's and 1950's articles have been disputed, you must discuss the proposed changes on the talk pages of the articles and gain consensus before making them again. Continually making your changes when they are disputed is vandalism. Your changes must adhere to WP:NPOV or they will not be approved for Wikipedia. Do not continue to make disputed changes over and over again without discussing them and gaining consensus. Jdavidb 20:06, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Richard Simmons

Don't say that Richard Simmons is an African American unless you have some evidence for his ethnicity. It appears to be vandalism. -Will Beback 22:26, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Diet Coke.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Diet Coke.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it may be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 13:38, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Variations of new coke.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Variations of new coke.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 00:13, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
