Welcome to Wikipedia. An article you recently created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new articles, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do and please read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. IrishGuy ^talk 21:09, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:T2KontraKultur.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:T2KontraKultur.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 21:35, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Oberoendeframkallande

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Oberoendeframkallande, by Escape Orbit (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Oberoendeframkallande is a foreign language article that was copied and pasted from another Wikimedia project, or was transwikied out to another project (CSD A2).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Oberoendeframkallande, 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 20:24, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: Christgau template

See Template:Rating-Christgau. There can either be a 1, 2, or 3 star honorable mention. 3 black stars doesn't mean 0/3. Robert Christgau has his own rating system, which is explained here. Spellcast (talk) 22:16, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Yea I see how it can be confusing, but it should be formatted the way the reviewer intended it. Besides, if people click on the 3 black stars, it tells them it's an honorable mention. Spellcast (talk) 22:32, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but we cannot accept original research, such as this edit of yours to the WikiProject_Albums info. Original research refers to material obtained through personal knowledge, or unpublished syntheses of previously published material, rather than material that is supported by reliable, verifiable sources. Please make sure you cite a reliable source for all of the information you add or re-add to articles. You can learn how to do this at Wikipedia:Citing sources. Thank you.

The above editor, who also likely edits as Kno CunninLynguists, is interested in keeping a list of samples out of the A Piece of Strange article because the samples on that album were not licensed and they think that by keeping this information off of Wikipedia, they will be less likely to be sued for violation of copyright by the publishers of any of the songs that were illegally sampled on that album. Do not let this user discourage you from contributing to Wikipedia (not that I'm encouraging you to edit war on this specific article—I meant feel free to add sample lists to other album articles).TheJazzDalek (talk) 01:31, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

How could I not feel discouraged? If Kno's edit stands, it's a clear message that if artists want their samples removed, then that will happen eventually. How would it make sense to continue contributing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MasahiroHayamoto (talk • contribs) 11:50, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

The problem is that the rules must be followed, even if others are not doing so. Just keep a cool head and don't worry about a possible domino effect. Most artists don't have the time to waste worrying about what appears in Wikipedia articles so I don't see that really becoming a problem. TheJazzDalek (talk) 12:08, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Edit warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on A Piece of Strange. 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 several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. TheJazzDalek (talk) 02:26, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:06, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

January 2017

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Qed237 (talk) 14:22, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Monkey C

The article Monkey C has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable programming language. No indication of significant coverage in independent sources.

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.
