  Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Ellis Middle School may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

  Hello, I'm EuroCarGT. I noticed that you recently removed all content from Ellis Middle School, with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, I restored the page's content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ///EuroCarGT 23:42, 24 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Ellis Middle School

Please don't change the existing article to a new school. If you want to try creating an article about the school in Illinois, start in your user space at User:SEHSstorm17/Ellis Middle School (Illinois). ... discospinster talk 23:50, 24 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Ellis Middle School with this edit, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. ... discospinster talk 23:55, 24 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:South Elgin High School Logo.png

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:South Elgin High School Logo.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for 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}} 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. Stefan2 (talk) 22:49, 3 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

WHOA!

edit

Hi. My name is John, and I am a host at The Teahouse, a question and answer forum for new users. You really need to stop by and ask some questions, man! You spent a whole lot of time today, making 49 separate changes to South Elgin High School and I had to revert every one of them. You see, even though Wikipedia is the encyclopedia anyone can edit; it is not the encyclopedia you can put whatever you want in it. Most broad categories of articles have guidelines; school article guidelines can be found at WP:SCH/AG. Besides being out of guidelines, absolutely none of the information you added was referenced, and that needs to happen. Also, I notice you have been spending quite a bit of energy working on an article for a middle school in Illinois. Well, sorry to tell you, but middle schools don't get articles on Wikipedia.

We, as a community, have been somewhat negligent in welcoming you and trying to shepard you through the maze of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is anything but intuitive. I will leave you a list of links that you should take a look at, and an invitation to come to the teahouse and ask questions and read others questions and the answers. I am also giving you an open invitation to come to my talk page any time you want to ask questions. I will do my best to answer them and if I can't, I will help you find the answer. Please take some time and read up a bit. Maybe then, your edits will stick around. Gtwfan52 (talk) 03:59, 4 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

 elcome to Wikipedia SEHSstorm17, from WP:WER
Thank you for registering! We hope that you find collaborative editing enjoyable. Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia that started in 2001, is free for all to use and edit within the guidelines and principles users have established and adhere to. Many of these principles and guidelines are listed below. Click on the link next to the images for more information. REMEMBER - each policy and/or guideline page has a discussion you can join to ask questions, add input and contribute your voice towards any current policy or guideline change underway! Join the discussion by going to the talkpage of the article. Please take a minute to view a number of quick start pages for an overview of how to work within these guidelines and more information to help you better understand the practices and procedures editors are using. These include: The Newcomers Manual and User:Persian Poet Gal/"How-To" Guide to Wikipedia.

Sometimes new editors become frustrated quickly and find their experience on Wikipedia less than enjoyable. This need not be. If you are having a difficult time for any reason, please feel free to ask me for assistance!

At the end of each message you will see a signature left by the editor posting. This is done by signing with four ~~~~ or by pressing   or   in the editing interface tool box, located just above the editing window (when editing). Do not sign edits that you make in the articles themselves as those messages will be deleted, but only when using the article talkpage, yours or another editor's talkpage.

Possibly unfree File:BEACON Academy.png

edit

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:BEACON Academy.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you object to the listing for any reason. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:26, 4 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

You show up every once in a while, edit like mad and then disappear. are you seeing any of this? If so, please leave a note here or on my talk page indicating you are seeing this. I would like to help you edit. You seem to have the desire, even if it is just for editing on SEHS. You are simply not editing effectively and it is all getting reverted. please stop, talk listen and learn. thanks. John from Idegon (talk) 20:38, 23 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

  This is your last warning. The next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at South Elgin High School, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You are engaging in unproductive and obstructive editing. This is a collaborative project. You are required to work with your fellow editors, not just blindly reverting to your preferred and highly unencyclopedic version. John from Idegon (talk) 22:02, 23 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Better source request for File:ELLIS EAGLES.png

edit

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 03:10, 27 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm MelbourneStar. I noticed that you recently removed all content from Ellis Middle School, with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, I restored the page's content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ——MelbourneStartalk 02:23, 20 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

  The recent edit you made to Ellis Middle School has been reverted, as it removed all content from the page without explanation. Please do not do this, as it is considered vandalism; instead, use the sandbox for testing. If you think the page should be deleted, see here for what to do. Thank you. ——MelbourneStartalk 02:27, 20 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours 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 adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

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.  Mark Arsten (talk) 04:39, 20 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Your draft article, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Ellis Middle School

edit
 

Hello SEHSstorm17. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Ellis Middle School".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Ellis Middle School}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, click "Save page", and an administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Passengerpigeon (talk) 04:10, 19 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at User:MelbourneStar. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism. Thank you. – JuneGloom07 Talk 01:12, 11 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked temporarily from editing for persistent vandalism. 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 adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  Chillum 01:19, 11 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
 
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).

You have not explained that you understand why you were blocked, your justification for requesting unblocking is not compelling. kelapstick(bainuu) 01:33, 11 February 2015 (UTC)Reply


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.

Non-free rationale for File:ELLIS EAGLES.png

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:ELLIS EAGLES.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

ATTENTION: This is an automated, BOT-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate your file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 03:00, 2 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
