September 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Anthony Edwards has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://apps.facebook.com/causes/67182?m=40c37195/ (matching the regex rule \bfacebook\.com).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 18:51, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:YouSayTomatoBookcover.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:YouSayTomatoBookcover.jpg. 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 00:30, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Melesse,

Because the book cover is illustrating the topic of the article, I feel that it qualifies as fair use. I will go to edit the Book Cover page and add a fair use rationale.

Tart-n-tiny image

You recently uploaded an image of Tart-n-Tiny candies that appears to be a copyright violation from http://www.candycraze.net/index.php?cPath=34 . Can you confirm the licensing status of this image? Thanks. Neil916 (Talk) 09:02, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Human-i-tees

The article Human-i-tees has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No 3rd party sources to confirm notability.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 23:17, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Daisy Fuentes

Please don't reword information that is sourced to a particular reliable source. If you can find another source to support your claims, then add that. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 19:59, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Daisy Fuentes, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 22:50, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of You Say Tomato, I Say Shut Up

The article You Say Tomato, I Say Shut Up has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Lack of coverage in reliable sources

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Chesdovi (talk) 14:29, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Masaokis

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Masaokis requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.  Chzz  ►  20:11, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Whisperback

Hello. You have a new message at Ponyo's talk page. --Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 22:05, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of ID public relations

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on ID public relations, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of ID public relations and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. De728631 (talk) 21:58, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

June 2011

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Miles Fisher, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. -- Cirt (talk) 19:01, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Adam Anders discography

The article Adam Anders discography has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Completely unsourced. No notability for WP:NMUSIC

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Regards, SunCreator ^(talk) 00:19, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Paid editing

Hello. A brief heads up that there is a thread about you and your alleged relationship to public relations editing on www.wikipediocracy.com. I will mention, since it is not mentioned there, that Wikipedia's terms of service requires declaration of paid editing either on one's user page, or on the talk page of every subject one edits for which one is paid, or in conjunction with each edit one makes in the edit summary. Paid editing is not banned on Wikipedia, but it must be declared. Thanks. Carrite (talk) 15:02, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Note that all of AnnBLea's editing took place before the Wikimedia Foundation modified its Terms of Use on June 16, 2014 to prohibit undisclosed paid editing. That is, AnnBLea broke no agreements and should not consider Carrite's message as any sort of admonishment. - 2601:42:C102:B8DD:B1D2:F11E:E1C2:D0C9 (talk) 17:05, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

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.
