Image copyright problem with Image:Ivanov2.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Ivanov2.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. Sdrtirs (talk) 21:43, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

World population

FYI, your edit has been removed because Wikipedia generally avoids editor-generated analysis. --Ckatz^chat_spy 09:49, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

You 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 a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 12:45, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

copypasting comments etc.

When you want to quote your own or another user's comments, you don't have to copypaste them in their entirety. Instead, the preferred way of quoting is always through "diffs", or revision differences. You can produce the desired diff by going to the history of any page, then mark the two revisions for which you want the diff and click "Compare selected revisions". The resulting page shows the difference, along the editor, the time and the edit summary. You can then copy the url of that page and put it in single brackets (as opposed to wikilinks which have to be put in double brackets). Read more at WP:DIFF.

Also, please do not crosspost the same message to multiple pages. Discussions are meant to take place at one venue, not multiple venues. I put your comment at Talk:World population#distribution edits inside a collapsible box (i.e. it's still there but doesn't clutter the article talk page) and added a link to the discussion at Wikipedia:Editor assistance/Requests#world population (diff). Let's address the basic points which are not directly related to the article itself there first.

Alsoalso, please always sign your talk page comments using four tildes: ~~~~ . user:Everyme 13:47, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Btw, would you mind undoing your last revert at World population? I'm sure it would be seen as a very positive sign by others. Just as long as there is no accompanying source for the material. user:Everyme 14:52, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
