Stop removing the AfD notices on your articles. Make the article better, don't remove the notices, then let people discuss how your changes made the article better. It's not a reflection on you. -- Samir धर्म 08:50, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Blanking Warning

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content, as you did to Harry potter candy. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! — Mike • 19:59, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

AFD Removal Warning

Please stop removing Articles for deletion notices and comments from articles and Articles for deletion pages, as you did with List of foods in Harry Potter. If you continue to remove them, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. — Mike • 14:45, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Fair use problem with Image:Frogs.GIF

I notice you uploaded the image Image:Frogs.GIF with a fair use image tag that indicated you were the creator of the image. However, it appears that this tag is totally unrelated to the content of the image, and as a result it has qualified for speedy deletion and has now been deleted from Wikipedia.

If you can find a valid tag that expresses why Image:Frogs.GIF can be used under the fair use guidelines, please reupload the image with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{Non-free fair use in|article name that the image is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the image. Thank you, and please feel free to continue contributing to Wikipedia. — Mike • 15:20, 30 June 2006 (UTC) please delete for me

License tagging for Image:Chocolate Frogs from cards.GIF

Thanks for uploading Image:Chocolate Frogs from cards.GIF. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

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

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

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 01:04, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Regarding the Chocolate Frogs, the Beans, and Recreating Articles

Hi, Djm. I noticed that you reposted the "chocolate frogs" image twice, as well as several other images, and you reposted the "list of Harry Potter sweets" article after it had been deleted.

Not to come across harsh, but you need to stop doing that. Please let me explain why.

You stated in the descriptions for the images that you yourself made the chocolate frogs image. That's not really the case — the picture is from a Harry Potter trading card, and thus, they own the copyright to that image. You don't have the right, unfortunately, to tell Wikipedia that we can use it — or to tell Wikipedia that we can use the Bertie Bott's beans images, and so on.

Also, Wikipedians handle things on this encyclopedia by coming to mutual agreement — by coming to a consensus on things. Wikipedia decided as a whole how to handle the Harry Potter sweets article here — you had your say, but you were outvoted. If you want to stay here and help us contribute to an encyclopedia, you do need to play by Wikipedia's rules — and that includes following decisions that everyone agreed upon, even if they're not how you feel it should have gone.

Now, through our messages above, and this one here, we have tried to explain how policy works and why you shouldn't be doing things in the manner you're doing them. If you ignore these messages and instead continue to upload copyrighted images (without a fair use rationale, which is linked to above) claiming you're their creator, and recreate deleted articles, you may find yourself blocked from editing Wikipedia for periods of time.

Your interest in Harry Potter can definitely be a plus here, but you do need to abide by Wikipedia's rules. Thanks. — Mike (talk • contribs) 03:02, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Image:Billywig.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Billywig.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. — MECU≈talk 02:36, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Redirect of Mcswiggen village

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Mcswiggen village, by Closedmouth (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Mcswiggen village is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Mcswiggen village, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 08:54, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Copyrighted text in The Epona Project

Please do not copy text from copyrighted websites into Wikipedia, as you have done repeatedly with The Epona Project. Pages whose contents are copied from other websites will be deleted. If you post the text again, you may be blocked from editing.

If you want to create an article on the game, write it totally in your own words without copying anything from the game's website. Resurgent insurgent 04:08, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Spec-dino logo.PNG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Spec-dino logo.PNG. 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 20:05, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Spec-dino logo.PNG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Spec-dino logo.PNG. 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. BetacommandBot 17:46, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Image without license

Unspecified source for Image:Sagan4f.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Sagan4f.png. 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 00:25, 20 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 ^{(Talk • Contribs • Owner)} 00:25, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for File:Binghamton High.jpg}

Thank you for uploading File:Binghamton High.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.
