Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia, especially for the efforts to clean up the GPS article. One small note, for future reference: when you make a change to an article, please remember to provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps other users reading the edit history of the page, as well as preventing possible misunderstandings as to the nature of your edits. Thank you again.

Orphaned non-free image File:Gps tracking geofence.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Gps tracking geofence.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:51, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

A discussion

Hi, someone should have notified you before but didn't. Please see Wikipedia:Coin#Wialon, it would be useful if you could comment. Thanks Smartse (talk) 13:37, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

thank you for notifying, i'll give my comments. UrusHyby (talk) 13:42, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Commercial links

Make sure you understand what you are talking about. The best and most reliable references to the products or technologies are actually the homepage of the product. Most of the links in the GPS software are opensource products, and in fact the source and the pages are peer reviewed. Raysonho (talk) 00:19, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Whoa. The best sources for our articles are independent sources, not the product page of the manufacturer that's being discussed. Dawnseeker2000 00:48, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

I think the NPOV applies to other areas, but a technical site does not have a POV. The independent sources mostly copy the technical spec. from the manufacturers homepage. Show me an independent source's page about a product that is more NPOV & correct than the manufacturer's site. Raysonho (talk) 01:22, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

We are not talking about a neutral-point-of-view issue here. NPOV is something separate from what I'm referring to. Independent sources are of higher value when added to any area of Wikipedia - technical, social, or whatever. We'd much rather have a secondary source in all circumstances of adding content. It's clear to me, and it seems pretty clear to UrusHyby. I always use secondary sources and I'd like to encourage you to also. Dawnseeker2000 01:52, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Generally references are needed in case if "Statements of opinion or materials challenged or likely to be challenged". Wikipedia:Verifiability so, there's no need of adding three commercial links to just one obvious sentence in an article GPS tracking unit, where already non-commercial ref. exists. And Dawnseeker2000 is absolutely right about sources policy of Wikipedia.UrusHyby (talk) 10:32, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Small request

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:09, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

ok, will put more attention to it. UrusHyby (talk) 14:11, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. Post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. 09:39, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

That's probably because i've made two edits on the same page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Old_Belarusian_language&diff=381888176&oldid=381854537

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Old_Belarusian_language&diff=382034461&oldid=381968602

But it's worth noticing that both times i've made reasonable comments on my edits, and those who reverted them said nothing, but "Actually, you're wrong".

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Gps tracking geofence.png

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Gps tracking geofence.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Codename Lisa (talk) 14:25, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
