Image copyright problem with Image:Dave_Miscavoog.jpg
edit
Thanks for uploading Image:Dave_Miscavoog.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

We hope that you will become a legitimate editor and create an account. Again, you are welcome here at Wikipedia, but remember not to vandalize or you will soon be blocked from editing.
If you feel you have received this message in error, it may be because you are using a shared IP address. Nevertheless, repeated vandalism from this address may cause you to be included in any future punishments such as temporary blocks or bans. To avoid confusion in the future, we invite you to create a user account of your own.
This user is (I suspect) a persistent vandal from IP address: 80.47.*.*. The Image:Dave_Miscavoog.jpg and Image:Tom Crooz.jpg were uploaded by this user so that he could use them to vandalize Scientology related articles with them. Review the Scientology edit history and the David Miscavige edit history to see the repeated vandalisms using these images coming from IP space 80.47.*.* -- Vivaldi (talk) 18:38, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
License tagging for Image:Tom Croooz.jpg
editThanks for uploading Image:Tom Croooz.jpg. 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.

edit Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits, such as those you made to Scientology, are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thanks. -- Vary | Talk 15:52, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
Ah, but the last contribution I made was not actually vandalism- I added something that is a true fact. anonymous message left by Malcolm McPloptick (talk · contribs)
- Truth is not a defense for vandalism sir. As odd as it may seem, the basis for inclusion in Wikipedia is not "Truth", but verifiability. You might also see What Wikipedia is not. Vivaldi (talk) 00:19, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Yes, but the particular point that I made that you are referring to on this occasion was verifiable. anonymous message left by Malcolm McPloptick (talk · contribs)
- Regardless, it was vandalism. You are intentionally inserting material to disrupt Wikipedia and making nonsense edits and adding nonsense edit summaries to your image uploads. Vivaldi (talk) 17:44, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

editPlease refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Scientology. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Vivaldi (talk) 17:44, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- Malcolm McPloptick almost certainly a sock of the persistent London dial-up 80.47.x.x "McCheese" vandal. He/she needs to sign in to upload images, and this is probably it. The most recent flipped Elron image was uploaded and a minute later the image was added to Scientology by 80.47.93.160. AndroidCat 13:12, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Elron.jpg
edit
Thanks for uploading File:Elron.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, 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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
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 12:37, 18 August 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — CactusWriter | needles 12:37, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did to Scientology, you will be blocked from editing. — CactusWriter | needles 12:38, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
