I have reverted your edits to this article. The photo you are adding is not "public domain". For this reason, it is up for deletion on Commons. Please do not restore the image unless you can document that the copyright holder(s) has released the photo into the public domain. That the photo is being used on LastFM does not demonstrate this.

You have added a name and release date for a 2013 album. To add this information, you will need to cite a reliable source.

Part of your edit is (accidentally) removing part of a section and the section heading. Here] is the article after your edits. Notice the second paragraph under "Early career".

If you believe I am in error re the photo, please discuss the issue on the photo's [Nomination for deletion page] on Commons.

If you feel the 2013 album info should be added in violation of our verifiability policy, please discuss the issue on the article's talk page.

If you need assistance with our procedures, policies or software, feel free to contact me on my talk page. Thanks! - SummerPhD (talk) 04:06, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:AceHoodBet2011.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:AceHoodBet2011.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 'file' 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 "File" 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. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:40, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:PsyNewYork.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:PsyNewYork.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media 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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Morning Sunshine (talk) 15:50, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello!

Hi there Captainmad, how's it going? Just thought I'd give you a quick note about fair use and how we use it on Wikipedia.

Basically, if a person is alive, we don't use copyrighted images of them. This is because we only use so-called "fair use" images when you cannot possibly gain a free version of the image.

The "public domain" in our case refers to an image where the copyright has run out on it. Since Wikipedia's servers are in the US, this is usually thought to be 70 years after the author's death. Have a look at this for more.

If you have any questions, just click edit at the top and write them under this text. Thanks! — foxj 16:20, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

October 2012

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent edit to Kanye West does not have an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! Dan56 (talk) 23:16, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Please refrain from making disruptive edits to Kanye West. Your edits appeared to be unconstructive and have been reverted or removed. You have been asked before to provide an edit summary before saving your changes to an article. If you feel your edits are constructive, discuss them first at either the article's talk page or this page. Thank you. Dan56 (talk) 23:30, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Kanye West, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary.

Hammer/Ross

Discuss on talk page and with a concensus changes can be made. It is sourced. MANY articles including Hammer's list associations that may be once or more. You can prove a lack of other contributions between the two artists. Just because every/all activities aren't mentioned within the article does not mean they don't associate together (not everything is public/common knowledge). Regardless, I can give you other examples of one-time associations with other artists as well. This is petty and seems to be sabotage (deliberate suppression of facts).

DJ Mustard

I saw you recently decided to create this page, and you might want to go around and link to the article on the various albums and songs he has been apart of. Or at the least expand it outside of a stub. Otherwise I do not see the point in you creating it yet. STATic message me! 00:10, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

After all the expansion you did, I wanted to tell you it looks great! Next thing it needs might be a production discography, but I know from experience it is kind of tedious to find them all, but Discogs could be a good start. Anyways thanks and happy editing!

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.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:MeekMillLevels.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:MeekMillLevels.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.
