Your Edits to Bill Archer (businessman)

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Abcdefghijklm 10:09, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary and your personal analysis of an article into Wikipedia articles, as you did to Bill Archer (businessman). Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you.

Mark McGhee

If you want the chant to remain, please provide a verifiable source for it. Every edit you've made in the last 3 days has been an attempt at vandalism, including prior edits to Mark McGhee. Why should I assume that this addition is any different? --Onorem 15:45, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Michel Kuipers. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. ¡Kribbeh!^Speak!\_Contribs 23:15, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Making additions to Wikipedia

The most important thing to remember when you want to add information to Wikipedia is that it needs to be verifiable.

Looking over your past few edits, I see you added "fixtures" for no apparent reason to the top of the Andrei Kanchelskis article. It shouldn't surprise you that it was removed. I don't know anything at all about this athlete or Brighton & Hove Albion F.C.. Does he currently play for them? Did he play for them? If you think his name belongs on their roster, post on the talk page of that article and ask why he isn't there. Rumors don't belong on Wikipedia, and message boards are not reliable sources, so the speculation of where he may end up wasn't appropriate to add.

You added a "Famous People" section to BBC Southern Counties Radio, and within it added Leroy. Who is Leroy? Why is he famous? Whoever removed this section was right to do so because you didn't explain why you made the addition and you didn't provide any sources.

It can get confusing at times, and it doesn't help that you never got a welcome template added to your talk page. I'll add that to the top now. It may help for you to read over some of the links there, specifically the Five pillars section. Feel free to leave any questions you have on my talk page. --Onorem 14:43, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Please make sure that your edits conform with Neutral Point of View. They read too much like advertising, which is why they get reverted. Pseudomonas 15:10, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Image:Bassavage34.jpg

Please don't call me a cunt again. You can't just stick a tag on something saying you own it if you don't. That's life, sorry. Pseudomonas 17:32, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Possibly unfree Image:Bassavage34.jpg

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Bassavage34.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. Please go to its page for more information if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Unspecified source for Image:Deanwilkins.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Deanwilkins.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:32, 18 March 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BigDT 17:32, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Pseudomonas 17:42, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Edits to Wikipedia:Attribution

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia articles, such as those you made to Wikipedia:Attribution, even if your ultimate intention is to revert them. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. JulesH 19:26, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Commercial use of Image:BHAMulti-Crest3.gif

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:BHAMulti-Crest3.gif, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:BHAMulti-Crest3.gif is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:BHAMulti-Crest3.gif itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 10:17, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Striking your vote

Hello 1066seagull,

Thank you for your interest in the Wikimedia Board Election. The Election Committee regretfully informs you that your previous vote was received in error and will be struck according to the election rules, described below.

The Election Committee regretfully announces today that we will have to remove approximately 220 votes submitted. These votes were cast by people not entitled to vote. The election rules state that users must have at least 400 edits by June 1 to be eligible to vote.

The voter lists we sent to Software in the Public Interest (our third party election partner) initially were wrong, and one of your account was eventually included to our initial list. There was a bug in the edit counting program and the sent list contained every account with 201 or more edits, instead of 400 or more edits. So large numbers of people were qualified according to the software who shouldn't be. The bug has been fixed and an amended list was sent to SPI already.

Our first (and wrong) list contains 80,458 accounts as qualified. The proper number of qualified voters in the SPI list is now 52,750. As of the morning of July 4 (UTC), there are 2,773 unique voters and 220 people, including you, have voted who are not qualified based upon this identified error.

In accordance with voting regulations the Election Committee will strike those approximately 220 votes due to lack of voting eligibility. The list of struck votes is available at https://wikimedia.spi-inc.org/index.php/List_of_struck_votes.

We are aware of the possibility that some of the people affected may have other accounts with more than 400 edits, and hence may still be eligible to vote. We encourage you to consider voting again from another account, if you have one. If you have no other account eligible to vote, we hope you reach the criteria in the next Election, and expect to see your participation to the future Elections.

Your comments, questions or messages to the Committee would be appreciated, you can make them at m:Talk:Board elections/2007/en. Other language versions are available at m:Translation requests/Eleccom mail, 07-05.

Again, we would like to deeply apologize for any inconvenience.

Sincerely,
Kizu Naoko

File permission problem with File:Oldschoolnsc.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Oldschoolnsc.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• 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 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 in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

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.
