Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to List of The Suite Life on Deck episodes, did not appear to be constructive and has been removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. The hidden comment that you ignored and deleted clearly indicated the requirement to provide citations as required by Wikipedia's verifiability policy AussieLegend (talk) 01:27, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Problems with upload of Image:The Greek Who Stole Christmas cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:The Greek Who Stole Christmas cover.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

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

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

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 14:08, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Michael Jackson. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Rodhullandemu 18:57, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I notice that you removed content from Michael Jackson. However, Wikipedia is not censored to remove content that might be considered objectionable. Please do not remove or censor information that is relevant to the article. You have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide images that you may find offensive. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. szyslak (t) 18:58, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Welcome to Camp Slither.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Welcome to Camp Slither.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 within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rodhullandemu 19:09, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of The Radius of the Lost Shark

The article The Radius of the Lost Shark has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Upcoming book with no references, and nothing at news.g.

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. -- Jeandré, 2010-09-26t13:38z 13:38, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Groosham Grange

Hello, Christianb5

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Hughesdarren, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, Groosham Grange, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to contest the deletion:

1. Edit the page
2. Remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. Click the Publish changes button.

If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Hughesdarren}}. And remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Hughesdarren (talk) 03:03, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

The Groosham Grange page will be expanded soon. I just need a little time to add the necessary information. It’s a stub article for now so that at least there’s some information of the book on Wikipedia. Christianb5 (talk) 03:26, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Anthony Horowitz into Groosham Grange. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 11:03, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi there. The content that I copied or moved was mostly created by myself in the first place. Does that make any difference? Christianb5 (talk) 21:28, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

Sorry for not replying sooner; I did not see your message. Usually content has been edited over time so it's best to provide attribution even if you wrote most of the content. Here's another case: you copied content from an old revision of Return to Groosham Grange to Groosham Grange on June 7, 2021. The content you copied was written by someone else. — Diannaa (talk) 14:47, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

Groosham Grange moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Groosham Grange, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Although fascinating, due to the Potter connection, there are two main issues regarding it. First, the character section needs sourcing. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). Second, you need several in-depth sources from independent reliable sources to show it passes notability. I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hi there. Is there anyone that can assist me with this please? What I wanted to do is create an English version of this article, since there is already a French-version on Wikipedia, and I don’t want my work so far to have been in vain. Christianb5 (talk) 22:30, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Your edit to Meet the Adebanjos has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. — Diannaa (talk) 22:46, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

June 2022

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 00:49, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
