February 2012

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Lionel Messi, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. The reverted edit can be found here.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Lionel Messi. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. The reverted edit can be found here. Glacialfox (talk) 18:35, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Alfonso soriono.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Alfonso soriono.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

File permission problem with File:Junior lake.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Junior lake.jpg. 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. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:05, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Skater. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Aaron Rodgers because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, you can use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for persistent vandalism, in particular, deliberately introducing false statements about the current teams of sportsmen. 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.  JamesBWatson (talk) 11:27, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm EricEnfermero. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Addison Russell has been undone because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. EricEnfermero (Talk) 00:42, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at User talk:EricEnfermero. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. EricEnfermero (Talk) 00:49, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Please note that while your approach was nowhere near the civil level of discussion that we try to use here, I at least understand from your comments that you are frustrated with your contributions being edited or deleted. I hope you understand that we do not usually save certain types of work in progress, such as section titles with no corresponding content. If you are trying to work on a section over time, you might find that using your Sandbox (near the upper right corner of the page) is one way to save things before they are ready to appear live in the articles.

August 2016

Hello, I'm EricEnfermero. I noticed that you made a comment on the page User talk:Yankees10 that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed.

If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. EricEnfermero (Talk) 10:34, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
