Unspecified source for Image:Ilovetosinga.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading Image:Ilovetosinga.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 23:22, 19 July 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? --MifterBot (TalkContribsOwner) 23:22, 19 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Removal of Images

edit

I have removed links to the images from their respective pages. If you can show me how to delete the files, I can do that too. Thanks for the advice.

Edit summaries

edit

Why do you put the four tildes in your edit summaries? Those only belong in discussion pages (anything with Talk: or User talk: at the beginning). Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 19:32, 1 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Win, Lose or Draw. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Sottolacqua (talk) 18:50, 24 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to The Price Is Right (U.S. game show). Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Game show fansites are not verifiable sources. You need to add a proper citation when adding information. Also, please do not leave commands to other editors in your edit summary. Sottolacqua (talk) 16:42, 16 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

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.
