More information needed about File:German Fashion and Beauty Blog.JPG

edit

Hello, Da Vinci Nanjing!

It was really helpful of you to you to upload File:German Fashion and Beauty Blog.JPG. However, we need to properly format the image license information in order to keep and use new images.

If you can edit the description and add one of these templates, that would be great. If you're not sure how or would like some help, please ask us at the media copyright questions page and we'll be happy to assist you.

Thanks again! --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 16:05, 22 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Non-free rationale for File:German Fashion and Beauty Blog.JPG

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:German Fashion and Beauty Blog.JPG. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. 17:23, 22 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Removing sourced content from Jaws

edit

Sinc eyou have been registed on Wikipedia since 2008 you should know better than removing sourced content from an article as you did at Jaws (film) as you did in this edit. Wikipedia is a WP:Verifiable encylopedia and it is not the place of editors to make judgments ove rthe factual veracity of content. I have started a discussion at Talk:Jaws_(film)#Second-highest_grossing_.22franchise.22_film to discuss the issue, so I hope you will participate rather than simply reverting. Betty Logan (talk) 15:19, 30 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

December 2015

edit
 

Your recent editing history at Jaws (film) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited James Cameron, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Aliens.

Home Alone

edit

On the mojo source it shows that the film is #40 on the list. For you to say that it's the highest Christmas movie, you have to determine that the 39 films ahead of it are not Christmas movies. That's the WP:OR. To insert your material, you need to find a secondary source that directly supports it. Otherwise, it's just your opinion, even if the analysis seems straightforward to you.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:10, 28 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thomas Bach

edit

The reason that all 3 sources in the Thomas Bach#career section in Thomas Bach are working is that I had (for the second time) corrected them. The way you left it, the third of your references had a reference http://www.zimm-recht.com/index.php?first=About%20me&second=Dr.%20iur.%20utr. which ends in a full stop, and most (if not all) browsers will assume that the full stop comes after the reference and will therefore try to find http://www.zimm-recht.com/index.php?first=About%20me&second=Dr.%20iur.%20utr (which does not exist). As well as formatting the reference so that the full stop is regarded as part of the url, I also removed the line feeds between the references to comply with the Manual of Style. I also noted that you had provided all 3 references as bare urls; it would be preferable if you could expand them appropriately. --David Biddulph (talk) 07:46, 22 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Unspecified source/license for File:Test upload.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Test upload.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

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

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot (TalkContribsOwner) 09:01, 5 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:Hängeseilbrücke Geierlay a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Hängeseilbrücke Geierlay. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Replaceable fair use File:Geierlay Bridge in the Hunsrück Area of Germany.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Geierlay Bridge in the Hunsrück Area of Germany.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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. Whpq (talk) 12:02, 23 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Geierlay Bridge in the Hunsrück Area of Germany.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Geierlay Bridge in the Hunsrück Area of Germany.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Ytoyoda (talk) 18:45, 25 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Da Vinci Nanjing. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Workplace".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Proposed deletion of Blind Booking

edit
 

The article Blind Booking has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This is only a dictionary definition and does not establish notability of the concept, and is not otherwise encyclopedic.

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}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Draft:Elisabeth Wehling concern

edit

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Elisabeth Wehling, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:28, 27 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Kipchoge page and your edits

edit

As far as your editing, I looked at a brief sample of what you've done lately. Here's some of your edit summaries:

"Yesterday I watched JP for the first time without dubbing in 1080p. On Sep 2, 1993 on it's first day of release, I went to the movies, to watch what became one of my favorite films. I value this day as much as the Aug 11, 1999 or when I held my little sister for the first time in my arms. When the T Rex is introduced, attacking the main characters, this is the best scene in movie history. No other movie can keep up with these minutes in terms of suspense and action choreography. Thx to P. K."
"Mo Farah made a wise decision for willing to defend his 10000 m title at the 2020 Olympics. It will be a kind of Cheptegei vs. Farah. Let's see what Kipruto and Kiplimo have to say about that."
Sharon Stone article:‎ "Because of the interrogation scene she became world famous"

I would add that all of these edits by you, and a bunch of others, were instantly reverted by other editors, and rightly so. I think you need to get a handle on what an encyclopedia is. It's not a place for publishing your deep thoughts about whatever subject enters your head. So I would advise you to stop doing that. And stop doing it at this particular article. Thank you.

Dear JimKaatFan

I agree with your pov to use the edit summarys for what they are made for. I am very proud for most of my edits an Wikipedia so far, I don't wanna diminish my accomplishments on Wikipedia. From now on my edit summarys will relate to the changes I made not storys from 30 years ago.

Your draft article, Draft:Elisabeth Wehling

Hello, Da Vinci Nanjing. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Elisabeth Wehling".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. kingboyk (talk) 08:45, 28 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Notice of community-authorized general sanctions regarding COVID-19

edit
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The specific details of these sanctions are described here.

Broadly, general sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

March 2020

edit

When you make an edit like this which severely misinterprets the source, to the extent that it gives misleading information, you are likely to find your editing privileges here swiftly curtailed. You also edit warred your contested content back into the article when it was contested. Please never do that again. --RexxS (talk) 22:50, 20 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Dear RexxS,

what do you mean by this:

"....You also edit warred your contested content back into the article when it was contested. Please never do that again...."

Regards, Da Vinci Nanjing (talk) 18:28, 21 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Da Vinci Nanjing:
  1. You made this edit "According to a statement from German Chancellor on 15 March 2020, 60-70 % of the German population will likely be infected ..."]
  2. Two minutes later, SandyGeorgia removed it with the edit summary "Non-MEDRS, not for medical content, and send that to German article")
  3. Five minutes later, you re-added essentially the same content that had been challenged: "According to a statement from German Chancellor on 15 March 2020, 60-70 % of the German population will likely be infected ...
I assume that you understand what "Please never do that again" means.
So, are you trying to tell me that you can't see the edit-warring? WP:EDITWAR tells you that "An editor who repeatedly restores their preferred version is edit warring", and Wikipedia:General sanctions/Coronavirus disease 2019 are in force, which means that there is likely to be zero tolerance of any deviation from best behaviour.
Please don't form the impression that because you only have received a warning so far, you can re-insert challenged material into an article that's under discretionary sanctions. You can't. --RexxS (talk) 19:14, 21 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Josi Neumann moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Josi Neumann, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). 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.
