January 2008 edit

  Thank you for your contribution to Greg Proops, but we are trying to write an encyclopedia here, so please keep your edits factual and neutral. Our readers are looking for serious articles and will not find joke edits amusing. Remember, millions of people read Wikipedia, so we have to take what we do here seriously. If you'd like to experiment with editing, use the Sandbox to get started. Thank you.-- JediLofty User ¦ Talk 10:36, 16 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Are there any reputable, third party sources that verify this? Greg Proops uses ocelots frequently in his humour, and I think this may be a further joke (particularly as web searches give the name of the ocelot variously as Shakira, Ashlee and Shia! -- JediLofty User ¦ Talk 13:57, 16 January 2008 (UTC)Reply


Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Carolco.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Carolco.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 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 (talk) 04:36, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply


Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Nmtb.jpg edit

Thank you for uploading Image:Nmtb.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 14:58, 8 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for April 6 edit

Hi. When you recently edited Big Hits, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Never Gonna Let You Go (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Eagles and John Miles edit

Just saw your recent edits at Hotel California. I case you don't already know there have been at least two IP's making numerous edits to Eagles related articles adding John Miles to the line up or writing credits.

I didn't know what to make of it since I am not an expert on the subject. Just thought I'd give you a heads up. Thank you.--RacerX11 Talk to meStalk me 20:23, 18 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Ok great, but there are active edits out there now. Does this mean we can delete any mention of John Miles associated with the Eagles. Some of the edits are claiming he played piano or keyboard on recording, co-wrote a song or two. Is there any truth to any of this? And what about all the other changes the same IP's have made. They all look suspicious to me. Can we blanket revert them all? --RacerX11 Talk to meStalk me 20:32, 18 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
Just an example, this edit[1] and the following one. The IP has changed a bunch of things and one part of it has been changed back by another user, but most of it, including the John Miles stuff is still there on the active page.--RacerX11 Talk to meStalk me 20:48, 18 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
Thank you. I just went ahead and did the best I could with The Very Best of Eagles. There's still a lot of changes from one of the IPs in that article that I just don't know about. Like I said, not an expert on Eagles history. Maybe if I read that book you mention, eh? Anyway, I still encourage you to over both IP's contributions and make sure they haven't slipped anymore stupid stuff in. Appreciated your help. --RacerX11 Talk to meStalk me 00:02, 19 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
