How are you getting on?

Hi there. It looks like you'really now getting the hang of the Wikipedia Adventure. I left a reply to your question at the Teahouse which you can read here. Don't feel you need to keep all those duplicate welcome messages on this page. I was tempted to delete them for you, but it's not really polite to mess with another editor's talk page. Let us know if you have any other problems. Regards from the Teahouse. Nick Moyes (talk) 23:44, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for checking in User:Nick Moyes. I have been doing good so far and have been really enjoying being on Wikipedia. I will definitely delete those welcome messages. Is there any easier way to delete an entire section than just backspacing the whole thing? --BlakeKbelt (talk) 16:13, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

That's good to hear! You ought to be able to select text just as you do in any word processing package, and then delete it in one go. I never find that task anything like as easy on an iPhone or tablet, though. It's worth saying that once you get stuck in and start making edits, you're almost bound to get some reverted, or receive the odd sharp comment from other editors. Try not to take these personally - we can sometime act like experienced drivers do when they see a learner driver in front of them in difficulties. Some can be very supportive, whilst others can seem very intolerant and impatient. It helps to keep calm, learn from any errors, show politeness and slowly become a great editor.  All the best.

Image without license

Unspecified source/license for File:PREP pop music group.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:PREP pop music group.jpeg. 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 after 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:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. 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. --MifterBot ^{(Talk • Contribs • Owner)} 19:46, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:PREP pop music group.jpeg

A tag has been placed on File:PREP pop music group.jpeg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken 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 the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 "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 deleted 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.

Your draft article, Draft:PREP

Hello, BlakeKbelt. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "PREP".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 11:08, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
