GS&MPU, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that GS&MPU satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/GS&MPU and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of GS&MPU during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion.

Fair use rationale for Image:Dunning.jpg
editThanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Dunning.jpg. 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.

Orphaned non-free image (File:M2telecom.jpg)
editYou've uploaded File:M2telecom.jpg, and indicated that it's used under Wikipedia's rules for non-free images. However, it's not presently used in any articles. Wikipedia policy requires that non-free images be either used or deleted, so if this image isn't used in an article in the next week, it will be deleted.

Image copyright problem with File:M2Telecom.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:M2Telecom.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. 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 description page for each article the image is used in.
- That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

editYou currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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. Nick-D (talk) 08:12, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
File permission problem with File:Rod-kafer.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Rod-kafer.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:48, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
The article Von Sydow Method (Rugby Challenge) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Wikipedia is not a game guide
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:32, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
List of atheists in politics and law
editHi. I'm afraid I had to revert your addition of Julia Gillard to List of atheists in politics and law. The problem is not whether or not she is an atheist, but whether or not she has described herself in those terms - the current policy with living people is that they can only be added to that list if they have described themselves as an atheist, using that term. Saying that she doesn't believe in God suggests that she is an atheist, but the bar was sent higher, and the only specific term that she has used was when she described herself as an agnostic some years back. Personally, I also believe her to be an atheist, but until she uses that specific term to describe herself we can't add her to the list. There is, however, a discussion on Talk:List of atheists looking at renaming the lists in order to provide more flexibility - you may wish to take part there, as any help with the discussion would probably be appreciated by all involved. - Bilby (talk) 04:20, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
September 2012
editPlease do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living persons, as you did to Larry Pickering. Thank you. While you applied references, much of what you added wasn't fully supported by references, or was an interpretation of the text. With living people, especially as regards controversial claims, the text needs to be fully supported and neutral. Bilby (talk) 04:38, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Larry Pickering shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you 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.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 19:18, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Larry Pickering. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. As before, the problem is that the sources do not match the claims you are making. I've raised this and explained why at Talk:Larry Pickering. Bilby (talk) 14:14, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for June 20
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Joshua Kennedy, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Rio and Christ The Redeemer (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Anthony Mundine
editHi Judas goat. I've had to revert you again - Mundine never said that gay Aborigines should be beheaded - as you would be aware, his comment was that "our ancestors would have there head for it". It was inappropriate and wrong, but it wasn't a call for a beheading. I've also removed your comments that seemed to suggest that Mundine might be gay - while there might be a relationship between homophobia and repressed same-sex desires, there is no call to make that sort of connection in the case of an individual. These are the sorts of additions that are contrary to the policy on biographies of living people, and need to stay out of the article. Where living people are concerned, we can't insinuate or misrepresent anything they say due to the risk of causing harm. - Bilby (talk) 03:30, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:M2Telecom.jpg)
editThanks for uploading File:M2Telecom.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 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 17:13, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
