If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. --Unpopular Opinion (talk) 17:12, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

The recent edit you made to User talk:Unpopular Opinion constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. Mygerardromance (talk) 17:17, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Please do not attack other contributors, as you did with this edit to User talk:Mygerardromance. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. tutterMouse (talk) 17:21, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive comments.
If you continue to make personal attacks on other people, you will be blocked for disruption. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. --Unpopular Opinion (talk) 17:44, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Windows 7. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. --Unpopular Opinion (talk) 16:28, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello, EmpMac. You have new messages at Josh the Nerd's talk page.

Blocked

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for engaging in an edit war at Windows 7. Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below.

You were blocked because you broke the three revert rule. They aren't going to unblock you merely because your edits were rejected. I suggest you remove that unblock request before it wastes an administrator's time.

Your edits were rejected because they restored blog-like material, not because you didn't cite valid sources. - Josh (talk | contribs) 17:23, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

At least that's what YOU say.--EmpMac (talk) 17:24, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

At least that's why I was reverting it. - Josh (talk | contribs) 17:32, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, now that there are only valid sources, why don't you add them to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Features_new_to_Windows_7 , since I can't for now? —Preceding unsigned comment added by EmpMac (talk • contribs) 11:52, 25 December 2008

What part of that article needs to cite those sources? - Josh (talk | contribs) 17:57, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

@EmpMac: There is no reason for removing your unblock request. You are completely free to request a review of my block. Regards, — Aitias // discussion 18:10, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

@Josh: the Taskbar part, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Features_new_to_Windows_7#Taskbar , copy the part "Many people, including CNET, find the changes to the taskbar make it more similar to Mac OS X's Dock.[20][21][22][23][24][25]"--EmpMac (talk) 18:17, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I'm working on bringing Windows 7 and Features new to Windows 7 up to date with each other, so this should happen then. - Josh (talk | contribs) 18:58, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

They obviously should be up-to date with each other, otherwise there's no sense in having two different articles for the same topic.--EmpMac (talk) 19:03, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

@Aitias: Alright.--EmpMac (talk) 18:17, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:ExamplePatrol.PNG. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is.

Black people

Do you really think this userbox: "This user doesn't enjoy dealing with black people" is appropriate? Nil Einne (talk) 16:43, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

This topic is being discussed at ANI. Please feel free to join the conversation. Accordingly, I have been bold and removed the two userboxes you created yourself as violating some of our core policies. WP:NPA.-Andrew c ^[talk] 18:46, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Comments

Please don't make this [1] sort of comment in the future. It is inflammatory (see WP:Civil), a violation of our WP:NPA policy, and has nothing to do with improving the article Nil Einne (talk) 19:01, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

File:File:Black hand2.jpg listed for deletion

Flash CS4 Image

Good job on the bigger and cleaner Flash CS4 screenshot. That image was just crying out to be replaced :) .. Kudos. -- Tomjenkins52 (talk) 23:47, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Flash-cs4-workspace.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Flash-cs4-workspace.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 '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. BJBot (talk) 05:23, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
