Your attempt at RFA

Hi there. I undid your recent edit to Wikipedia:Requests for adminship. Seeing as you are a new user, I advise you against running for adminship. Such a request will surely be closed very quickly as WP:NOTNOW. As you forgot to create the nomination page and used incorrect synthax, you will surely be faced with much opposition. I advise you to work on your edits instead and follow the advice on WP:NOTNOW. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Regards So Why 18:34, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Donald Robertson (athlete)

Please see Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Athletes that ALL Olympic competitors are notalbe and Mr. Robertson also won a silver medal at the British Empire Games (now Commonwealth Games) so he was also successful in his sport?

Tony Chan

Please see the article of Tony Chan first. He is famous for getting Nina Wang's wealth. I am not writing rubbish article in Wikipedia. Also I have many reference to show the existance of the people. I don't know why many of you like to requesting deleting the article first without seeing the details. Ricky@36 (talk) 14:32, 10 February 2009 (UTC) Tony Chan has no importance whatsoever -Permethius (talk) 14:35, 10 February 2009 (UTC) Or You can make it a stub then i will condier taking it off,i do read too,not enough to details to be a full sized article lol -Permethius (talk) 14:37, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

You think the articles you don't know are not important anyway. Stub is added! Ricky@36 (talk) 14:46, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
When will you remove the tag, thanks! Ricky@36 (talk) 15:04, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Lifeline (Papa Roach song)

Please do not remove valid tags on Wikipedia pages. That article is unreferenced, and it is a stub. However, if you would be nice enough to expand the article and find some sources for the information, that'd be great. Tim meh ! 15:00, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

User:Madareus

Since you are new, and most certainly not an administrator, please refrain from attempting to block other users using blocking templates or other edits to their talk pages. Also, users' user pages (i.e. User:Permethius) belong to them, and unless it contains any sort of non-Wikipedia-related content, or otherwise inappropriate content, it is within their purview to maintain exclusive control as a Wikipedia user. Please feel free to ask me if you have any questions. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 20:00, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Edit protected

I have replied to you at User talk:Kikk1010. Also, the edit protected template isn't supposed to be used the way you used it, for future reference.. you can always get an admin's attention at WP:ANI.-Andrew c ^[talk] 21:25, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Articles and other pages (but mainly articles) sometimes get "protected" based on Wikipedia:Protection policy. This means that all editors (except admins) are locked from making changed to articles. This is often the result of edit wars (when two or more editors can't agree on a version, and they fight to try to get their preferred version). In those cases, the article is often protected, forcing these editors to discuss their differences on the talk page. But sometimes, while articles are locked, someone may see a spelling error or some other trivial mistake, and they can add the edit protected template to the talk page and say "hey, could an admin edit this protected page to change "teh" to "the" in the 2nd paragraph". The documentation at Template:Editprotected goes into this further. In this case, since Kikk1010's user page wasn't protected, and you weren't requesting that an edit be made to a protected page, this specific template wasn't needed (though it did work to get an admin's attention). Hope this helps. If you have any more questions or concerns, feel free to contact me. -Andrew c ^[talk] 21:17, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Your edit

I have no idea what a user is thinking when he or she hits the "save" key and the article wasn't more than a declarative sentence. No wikis, no external links, no references. I'll gladly restore it, but in the future, please don't come onto my talk page with a chip on your shoulder. Thanks. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:12, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Looks as if you've done it yourself, but I strongly recommend that you add more meaningful text, references, etc. As it stands, it's a speedy deletion candidate. I won't delete it again, but I simply can't promise it'll remain in its current form. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:14, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with File:Takamatsu Castle (Sanuki).jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Takamatsu Castle (Sanuki).jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by STBotI. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 16:23, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

I'll be glad to help. I will tell you, though, that you're way too new at this to try for adminship yet. Also: a failure to follow the conventional rules of grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. in your talkpage posts is likely to count against you. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:28, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Your Userpage

I would highly recommend removing the official wikipedia policy box on your userpage. The content on your page is not official wikipedia policy, and might mislead readers. Furthermore, what is the point of having it on there? ƒingers^on_Roids 20:54, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

For fun,when am I ever gonna use that anyway?Plus it's not on the Policies page.-PeRmEtHiUs (talk) 12:26, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

It categorizes the page incorrectly. Please don't re-insert the template, you could just link to the CSD pages if you want. -- Menti fisto 12:43, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

I also removed the album covers from your userpage. Non-free images are not allowed outside the content space. See WP:NFCC. Prodego ^talk 21:57, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Also also, I removed the featured article template (that goes only on featured articles and the rollbacker template, as you do not have the rollback right. Prodego ^talk 21:59, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

I have an unrelated request regarding your userpage, Permethius. I would appreciate it if you did not copy my userpage style completely. Either change the colors or remove the styled setup altogether, please. Thanks. Tim meh ! 22:43, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

I see you continue to add back the fair-use images. Please stop. Fair-use images in userspace are absolutely not prohibited. They are copyrighted, and are only licensed for specific articles. Fair-use articles elsewhere on Wikipedia are copyright violations, and you may be blocked if you continue. Thank you for your cooperation. PeterSymonds (talk) 14:40, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

I must issue you a last warning, as the images have been replaced by yourself. If you undo myself, I will have no choice but to block you. Please heed this advice. Thank you. PeterSymonds (talk) 15:34, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Ivysaur2.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Ivysaur2.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 22:02, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

What wikiproject? Is it a new one? IS it one that you are proposing? If so see Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals first. -- Mufka ^(u) ^(t) ^(c) 17:14, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

I don't see any proposals for the new project at WP:COUNCIL/P. You really need to go through the community approval process before creating a new project.

Speedy deletion of File:Battlechart.gif

A tag has been placed on File:Battlechart.gif requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free image with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria.

If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the image can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{non-free fair use in|article name that the image is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the image. If the image has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. -sesuPRIME ^{talk • contribs} 03:36, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of File:Battlechart.gif

A tag has been placed on File:Battlechart.gif requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Fp-torchic.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Fp-torchic.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:28, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
