edit

  Hello Paulus 2! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 0 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

  1. Tony Hymas - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL
  2. Eelco Gelling - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL

I am an editor on the en.Wikipedia, but I have contributed a few times at many other Wikipedias in other languages, so if you are finding different rules here, do not be surprised! It has happened to me too on the de.Wikipedia and the es.Wikipedia too. I edit and negotiate outside the Wikipedia to find photos for biography articles about musicians. I noticed you added the image of the flag of different countries in an infobox for one of Rory Gallagher's albums. Thanks! Thanks for your work on his discography! As you may know, he has the entire discography on a separate page: [1] I have been asking other editors to help with that. Oh, one thing: do not place flags in the infobox for the people themselves. A rule set on this Wikipedia. We also do not put a cross or "deceased" on any arricles about musicians, either, which is different from other language Wikipedias. If you want to ask questions about anything, if you need any help, or are willing to help me, you can leave me a note on my talk page! Thank you for helping the Wikipedias! --Leahtwosaints (talk) 16:35, 5 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Michie article

edit

Hi Paulus 2, I did some work on the article you created to get it past the Copy violations as much of it was word for word from a newspaper article. I'm not that interested in doing much more on it and I don't find many sources but there's more information to be put into the article from the ones cited. You might check over my work as I was rather in a hurry. Agadant (talk) 17:11, 5 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi again and thanks for your reply. I'm glad you explained but copyright violations can be a serious problem. The contributions you are making with linking, etc. are not requiring a good use of language and are fine. But anything else would require fairly good English skills on this version of Wikipedia. Whenever you feel like you really want to put text into an article from a reliable source, write me a message on my talk page and I will be glad to be of help, if I can. Thanks, Agadant (talk) 15:49, 6 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Chris Thomas King, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tommy Johnson (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Piano Blues Film.png

edit
 

Thank you for uploading File:Piano Blues Film.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 23:07, 21 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Syledis, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Antenna and Wheelhouse (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
