Image Tagging Image:Mnf2006.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Mnf2006.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then 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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images 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 Image legality questions page. Thank you. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 16:55, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

• As per our policy regarding publicity photos, please provide evidence that the photo was indeed released by ESPN as part of a media promotional kit. Thank you. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 17:40, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

• Image:Mondaynightfootball 240.jpg is currently marked as a screenshot and thus goes by a different set of rules. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 18:27, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

• Never mind I finally had a chance to look at ESPN's media site and found that Image:Mnf2006.jpg is actually a resized version of the promotional image that ESPN released. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 18:38, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Massari.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Massari.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

Joke

Thanks for your contribution, but we are trying to write an encyclopedia here, so please keep your edits factual and NPOV. Some readers looking for a serious article might not find them amusing. Remember, millions of people read Wikipedia, so we have to take what we do a bit seriously here. If you'd like to experiment with editing, use the Sandbox to get started. I hope you can help us out! I mean, yeah. Okay. Myg0t doing a Salsa dance is a pretty dern funny thing to thinka bout. But really. ••\\/\//esleyPinkha//\/\\•• 07:38, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Removing images from Anus

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. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 10:41, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Second bad myg0t edit

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to myg0t. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Andeee 18:06, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Your recent edit to Myg0t was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept our apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior.

Third bad myg0t edit

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to myg0t, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. As the tawker bot mentioned. Andeee 08:12, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Removal of talk page warnings

Please do not remove warnings from your talk page or replace them with offensive content. Blanking your talk page will not remove the warnings from the page history. If you continue to blank your talk page, you will lose your privilege of editing your talk page. Thanks.

Also, you keep removing images from the Anus article. Please stop. If you continue to remove content from pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. If you want the image removed, please discuss the matter on the talk page. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 14:09, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Blocked

You have been temporarily blocked from editing for vandalism of Wikipedia. Please note that page blanking, addition of random text or spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, and repeated and blatant violation of WP:NPOV are considered vandalism. If you wish to make useful contributions, you may come back after the block expires. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 09:41, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Image:Mnf2006.jpg

I have tagged Image:Mnf2006.jpg as a disputed use of non-free media, because there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please clarify your fair use rationale on the image description page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia 01:43, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Mnf2006.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Mnf2006.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image 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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia 01:44, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Malcolm3.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Malcolm3.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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 14:29, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Abc123. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Abc123~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Renamed

This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk)
