IP address blocked

It seems that I have been blocked from editing by blocking my IP address. As I haven't made any controversial edits to any pages I wonder why this has been done and I also see no way to appeal this action. Can anyone help here?

Non-free use disputed for Image:RRZ.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:RRZ.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 00:20, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Login Unification

{{helpme}}

I have claimed my user name 'Spinner' and this has gone through but there are a number of other users registered with this name on other language Wiki. How do I contact them with a view to resolving the issue when they are primarily non-English language speakers? i.e. Japan and Germany?

I don't see a clear procedure laid down on this. Spinner (talk) 00:46, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

• I don't want to force anyone to change their username. I thought the idea was to ask people to consider changing their username if there is a conflict to provide a unified username system across all the Wiki projects to avoid confusion. Spinner (talk) 18:54, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
  • If you don't speak those languages, I wouldn't worry about it too much. –xeno (talk) 20:02, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

That being said, you should be able to usurp the accounts with zero edits as seen on this link: http://toolserver.org/~vvv/sulutil.php?user=Spinner Following the interwiki links at WP:USURP should get you to the right place. –xeno (talk) 20:06, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Amazing Mendezies

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Amazing Mendezies. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Amazing Mendezies. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:11, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

Revert on Cunning Stunts

Hey, just wanted to let you know I reverted you on Cunning Stunts, a disambiguation page, because you added a link to a page that doesn't exist. Disambiguation pages should only list notable topics that have Wikipedia articles -- if you'd like the feminist theatre company to be included on Wikipedia, it needs to have an article before it can appear on the disambiguation page.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at User talk:Ra-Ra Zoo, you may be blocked from editing. Heya! If you want messages out of your life, please archive them instead of deleting them. Additionally, please do not delete messages on other people's talk pages, even if they're your's.
