WaterIsland

A belated welcome!

Sorry for the belated welcome, but the cookies are still warm!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, WaterIsland. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article
• Editor's index to Wikipedia

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! ThisGuyIsGreat (talk) 16:37, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Recent edit to Stefanos Athanasiadis

Hello, and thank you for your recent contribution. I appreciate the effort you made for our project, but unfortunately I had to undo your edit because I believe the article was better before you made that change. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions. Thank you! — | Gareth Griffith-Jones |The WelshBuzzard| — 17:19, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

September 2015

Hello, I'm Jaellee. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Greece national football team, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Jaellee (talk) 17:08, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Koke (footballer, born 1983), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. --Jaellee (talk) 18:19, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Edin Džeko. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Jaellee (talk) 19:13, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Aris F.C. (Thessaloniki)

Hi, I saw you moved Aris F.C. (Thessaloniki). Please note that this article has been moved back and forth a couple of times recently and so I don't think your move can be deemed uncontroversial. I think that it needs to have a proper RM discussion and so have set one up here. While the discussion goe on I have moved the article back, but feel free to add your own comments.

Hello, I'm Egghead06. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Gus Poyet, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did at Georgios Fotakis. GiantSnowman 09:54, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Mauricio Tarrico. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Egghead06 (talk) 19:43, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Yannis Anastasiou. GiantSnowman 12:27, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Copyright

Hello. I noticed that you recently uploaded many images. With regard to these images:

• You had claimed that you owned the copyright over each logo. This is implausible - one would expect the university to own the logo. Although some of the logos may be too simple to be copyrighted in America, they will still be covered by trademark rights.
• Use of non-free media on Wikipedia must comply with the relevant policy, WP:NFC. Please read this before uploading any more images. Consider using the Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard in future which will help you choose the right licensing options.
• I have removed your copyright tags as I cannot believe you own the copyrights. I have replaced them with the appropriate non-free image tags.

Please be aware that repeated uploading of images in violation of copyright may lead to you being blocked from editing. If you have questions, may I suggest that the Wikipedia:Teahouse is a good place to ask questions about how Wikipedia works. Thank you, BethNaught (talk) 09:06, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

You did it again. Stop uploading files with incorrect copyright information or you may be blocked for disruption. BethNaught (talk) 19:21, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:09, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

References

Dear WaterIsland. Thank you for updating the revenue data of different companies. However, link to another article in Wikipedia, such as <ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_oil_and_gas_companies_by_revenue</ref>, is not suitable for the reference and should be not used for this purpose. All these should be replaced by reliable sources according to WP:RS and WP:V. Thank you. Beagel (talk) 12:13, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ted Leonsis, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Greek. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
