Speedy deletion

Hi there, I notice that you tagged Image:Likethatscreen.JPG for speedy deletion without giving a reason. I have not been able to find a reason why this page should be speedily deleted, so I have removed the tag. If there is an actual reason from WP:CSD that this page shold be speedily deleted, please re-add a tag from that page which gives the exact reason, or use {{db|insert reason here}}. Alternatively, you can use WP:IFD instead. Thanks! Additionally, from your edit summary I feel that you are attempting to disrupt Wikipedia to make a point, and I must ask you not to do this in future. Stifle 00:10, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Frayser, Memphis

Hi, in response to your message on my talk page about Frayser, Memphis, the assertion that Frayser is the "most dangerous part of Memphis" brings up two important Wikipedia policies. First, Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy--it could just as easily be argued that other areas of Memphis (say, Orange Mound or Whitehaven) are just as "dangerous" as Frayser, thus it is a judgment call to say that Frayser is the "most dangerous." Second, information like this must be verifiable, and typically reliable sources should be cited to support the claim.
I know Wikipedia policy can be confusing at times for new editors, so if you have any further questions after reading the policies I've linked to, please let me know, I will be happy to help! · j·e·r·s·y·k·o talk · 22:18, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Southhaven High School

I thought I had put a fairly well-explained note on the edit summary, but I will give you the basics as to why I removed some material from the page. A lot of the entry (namely the sports section) was not written of a formal tone of an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is also not a memorial, and to include deaths of unnotable people to the encyclopedia is flawed in content inclusion, not to mention that it did not conform to a neutral point of view (NPOV). The staff of the school is not notable (other than a principal or superintendent). The page is not meant to be an advertisement or a school project, it is meant to tell about the school in a NPOV. I put a cleanup tag, but all pages here must conform to the guidelines I have given, and others as well. Other members here may be more well-versed to talk about what to put on a page about a low-profile high school, but I am not, but I feel my edits were made and good faith and should remain. --Burgwerworldz 00:32, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:551602686_l.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:551602686_l.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.

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 insure 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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. MER-C 11:02, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Your RfA

Although your RfA did not turn out the way you wanted, please do not be discouraged. Keep up the good work; your contributions are valued in the community. I recommend you take part in some admin-like areas of Wikipedia for a few months before re-applying for adminship. There is no specific criteria for becoming an admin, but if you have been actively editing in WP:AIV, WP:AFD, tagging new pages, categorizing pages, and other backlogs, you'll have a much better chance of passing an RfA. If you have any questions on policies, backlogs, or anything else that comes to mind, I'm always available here. Useight 06:37, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Adoption?

Hello, CRocka05! I see that you may be in need of adoption by an experienced editor, comments on your RfA show that you need help with anti-vandal work, and thats what i specialize in. I would be glad to help you, and then maybe you can re-apply for adminship. - just leave a message on my talk page. Good luck with Wikipedia! Tiptoety 02:49, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

"Gimme More" single cover

Hi CRocka05! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I have noticed that you removed the single cover from the article "Gimme More". I reverted your edit because the image comes from a reliable source, which is the Germany branch of Sony BMG. Please, do not remove it from the article again. Thank you.

Fair use rationale for Image:K97.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:K97.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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. PxMa 15:08, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:WMPW.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:WMPW.gif. 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 will 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) 13:11, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Chargerh.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Chargerh.gif. 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. BJBot (talk) 08:36, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

September 2008

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to The Ballads (Mariah Carey album). Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Contact me if you need assistance adding references. Thank you. —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 00:56, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

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.
