multiple articles

Please don't add new articles under different titles than existing articles. If you have new information, please add it to the existing article. (For instance, wooly monkey was not an article you should have created. You should have instead add the information to woolly monkey. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:15, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

test

Thank you for experimenting with the page lemur on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:20, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Please don't splatter images all over articles. If you must add images, make a gallery as I did on ruffed lemur. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:51, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Again, please stop spamming images on articles. Place them neatly or put them in a gallery. Also, don't overly link items. Also, make sure the links are the best link possible. Also, make sure the image links are correct. If you don't get better, I'll have to consider placing an edit ban on you. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:46, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Also, make sure your images are clear. Some are fuzzy. Images should help the reader , not hinder. Wikipedia is not a showcase for your photos. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:50, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Since you continue to make bad edits, I have blocked you for a few hours. You can reply here, or place the {{unblock}} tag to get the attention of another admin. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:17, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Red ruffed lemur.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Red ruffed lemur.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

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

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

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 21:12, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Neutral Point of View

Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. 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 God. In the meantime, please be bold and continue contributing to Wikipedia.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 17:44, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

• Wikipedia is not a soapbox. Please do not continue to edit to push an agenda, thank you.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 18:55, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

• Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. ¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 18:58, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

• This is your last warning. The next time you violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by inserting commentary or your personal analysis into an article, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. ¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 19:20, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

• Due to your continuous POV pushing despite being warned, I have blocked you for a period of 24 hours. If you feel this block is inappropriate place the following tag on your page {{unblock|your reason}}. Please contribute constructively once your block expires.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 20:44, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

• I have extended your block to indefinite for employing sockpuppets to push your point-of-view.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 17:25, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Keeping Evolution article on Evolution

Hi, the speech you placed in the Evolution article is considered POV and it is not on Evolution. I understand that you may have strong feelings against it, but please try to understand that Creationism belongs in the Creationism article and Evolution belongs in the Evolution article and that wikipedia keeps a WP:NPOV style with all its articles.

An Automated Message from HagermanBot

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! HagermanBot 19:19, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Notification of automated file description generation

Your upload of File:Black rhinoceros at Howletts Wild Animal Park.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks! Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 13:35, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

• Another one of your uploads, File:Canadian Timber wolf from Howletts Zoo.jpg, has also had some information automatically added. If you get a moment, please review the bot's contributions there as well. Thanks! Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 14:54, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

• Another one of your uploads, File:Colobus monkey, Port Lympne Wild Animal Park.jpg, has also had some information automatically added. If you get a moment, please review the bot's contributions there as well. Thanks! Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 15:09, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Ratel or honey badger.JPG

The file File:Ratel or honey badger.JPG has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Orphaned image, no context to determine possible future encyclopedic use, very low quality.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --TheImaCow (talk) 06:37, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
