Image copyright problem with Image:Esquivel Coat of Arms.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Esquivel Coat of Arms.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 11:07, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:AndrewBrown.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:B4ADiY301631-02.jpg. The copy called Image:B4ADiY301631-02.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account.

Preview Button

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edit(s) to Deportivo Iztacalco, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you.

January 2009

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to David Suazo. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. --Angelo (talk) 11:06, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Jaime Andres Brown

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Jaime Andres Brown, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Andrew "Carter" Brown. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally moving or duplicating content, please be sure you have followed the procedure at Wikipedia:Splitting by acknowledging the duplication of material in edit summary to preserve attribution history.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 22:32, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andrew "Carter" Brown, you will be blocked from editing. -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:58, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Possibly unfree File:Waigyalogo.png

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Waigyalogo.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. --fuzzy510 (talk) 09:08, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for File:Reformaac.png

Thank you for uploading File:Reformaac.png. 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. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Diego Ramirez Deschamps

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Diego Ramirez Deschamps, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Diego Ramírez (footballer).

If you are intentionally moving or duplicating content, please be sure you have followed the procedure at Wikipedia:Splitting by acknowledging the duplication of material in edit summary to preserve attribution history.

Esquivel

Hi there, thanks for your edits to the Esquivel page. The original page was put in place for Juan Garcia Esquivel. He is arguably the most famous Esquivel, in fact he is known by just "Esquivel". Because you split up the page by country of origin, I think it will be difficult for people looking for Juan Garcia Esquivel (but who do not know his full name, or place of birth) to find him. I suggest you make a mention to the most famous and common usages of the name Esquivel at the top of the article and then divide the people by what they are known for rather than place of origin.

Fair use rationale for File:Valedores.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Valedores.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 '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 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. Alx 91 (talk) 18:12, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

July 2009

Please remember to mark your edits as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. Black'nRed 20:38, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Chingerson! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 431 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Andrés Aguirre - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

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.

Dear Chingerson, You're invited to a zoom call, taking place on February 11, with the goal of improving the article on Los Angeles to Featured article status!

I, unfortunately, have no way to transmit snacks over zoom; but I trust you to exercise good judgement and discretion in selecting snacks of your own.
