Replaceable fair use File:Harpal Brar, Southall London, 2012.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Harpal Brar, Southall London, 2012.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Peripitus (Talk) 07:49, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

cult of personality

Hi there. I saw that you added a section about the UK to cult of personality. The problem is that your edits are unsourced and off-topic. First of all, this article is about the concept, not a dumping ground for examples. The examples were moved to their own page, list of cults of personality. Second, you need to come up with a reliable source that specifically names the UK as having a cult of personality. It is original research to examine the laws of the UK, determine for yourself that it fits your definition, and add it to Wikipedia. I am trying to keep cult of personality and list of cults of personality relative free of low-quality sources and unsourced POV-pushing. It's not easy. If you're interested in the topic, you can help by locating better citations for the existing content. I've been meaning to get around to this for a long time now, but it's tedious work.

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Office worm (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I was fixing suspected vandalism but my edits were all being undone almost minutes after being made. There was unbalanced and misleading writing that I attempted to fix. I was not being given any clear reasons for why my edits were being undone so quickly and rapidly. I suspect somebody was using multiple sock accounts to remove my edits.

Decline reason:

It wasn't vandalism, it was a content dispute. In such situations, use dispute resolution - edit warring is not accptable. Max Semenik (talk) 00:11, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Draft:Chimurenga (book) concern

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Chimurenga (book), a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:31, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Chimurenga (book)

Hello, Office worm. It has been over six months since you last edited your Articles for Creation draft article submission, "Chimurenga".

In accordance with our policy that Articles for Creation is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. —MRD2014 T C 15:14, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

July 2016

Hello, I'm SummerPhDv2.0. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Philadelphia Police Department seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please note that when editing articles, particularly with disputed information, our normal process is the bold, revert, discuss cycle. When you boldly make a change to an article and are reverted, the next step is to discuss your proposed change. Please do not restore your change until a consensus is reached on the article's talk page. Thanks. SummerPhD^v2.0 14:18, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

September 2016

Hello, I'm SummerPhDv2.0. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Philadelphia Police Department, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Among other problems, this is a WP:BLP issue. Do not restore your edit without a consensus to do so. Please discuss the issue on the article's talk page. SummerPhD^v2.0 16:32, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Philadelphia Police Department, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. SummerPhD^v2.0 18:35, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Holodomor, did not appear constructive and have been undone. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page.
Please be sure to actually read both the article and talk page (including the archives) thoroughly before tagging for citations. The estimates are well documented in the body of the article: in fact, the citations are in the lead and the upper estimate is actually the minimum according to multiple sources. The lower maximum is a compromise, and you are editing a highly topical WP:ARBEE sanctioned article. Please pay attention to what you are doing. Iryna Harpy (talk) 21:39, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Editing Holodomor

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding Eastern Europe, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

--Iryna Harpy (talk) 22:18, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

New discussions

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Your recent talk page comments on User talk:95.158.49.193 and Talk:Holodomor were not added to the bottom of the page. New discussion page messages and topics should always be added to the bottom. I've moved your messages to the correct location. In the future you can use the "New section" link in the top right. For more details see the talk page guidelines. Thank you. Iryna Harpy (talk) 10:24, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

Thankyou Iryna, I'll be more careful in the future. Office worm (talk) 14:13, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
