Friday the 13th edit

Scooper reports are not reliable, and when Bloody-Disgusting does not name the person they got the information from it is because they were using "scoopers". As such, they cannot be used as a reliable source. Not to mention, when the trailer comes out is somewhat trivial. It does not add anything to the article itself, and when it does come out a link will be placed at the bottom of the page in the "External links" section.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 16:27, 21 September 2008 (UTC)Reply


Image source problem with Image:2090602965 105cec320b.jpg edit

 
Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:2090602965 105cec320b.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:48, 1 October 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Q T C 02:48, 1 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Image without license edit

Unspecified source/license for Image:Dicamillo.JPG edit

 

Thanks for uploading Image:Dicamillo.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 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 (TalkContribsOwner) 00:16, 2 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

List of emo artists edit

We work on reliable sources, not opinion. Rise Against have a source that people have referred to them as emo. Note that this is a list of artists referred to as emo, not to actual emo bands PXK T /C 19:20, 2 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Any disagreement with source should be discussion on the talk page. In this case make sure you read the entire MSN article (http://entertainment.msn.com/falloutboy/findingemo/) which is the article says is a gallery of "emo icons past and present" and not just the linked page. --neon white talk 17:07, 3 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
You are incorrect: the source you're claiming does not identify them as emo is part of a list of emo artists, entitled, "Finding Emo." It would be a pretty poor journalist who would then add "Also, they are emo" to the article when they're already so clearly identified. What you are doing is simply removing sourced information against consensus, which is something that you can be blocked for doing. I understand that you don't feel that Rise Against is an emo band, and I respect that, but at least one reviewer has identified them in that way, so it isn't okay for you to keep removing them from that list. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 18:41, 3 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution.

Your recent edits edit

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 15:25, 4 October 2008 (UTC)Reply


AfD nomination of Nailin' Paylin edit

 

I have nominated Nailin' Paylin, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nailin' Paylin. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

October 2008 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Tyrannosaurus Rex has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Fair use rationale for Image:2607950941 b62bccc555.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:2607950941 b62bccc555.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 03:07, 14 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

serra paylin edit

are you sure that is the boxart for the serra paylin article, because one of her fan groups has a different boxart for the cover of her latest film. Tj21 (talk) 23:09, 15 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:24866.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:24866.jpg. 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?pd_THOR | =/\= | 20:14, 27 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free media (Image:TomMorello-1.jpg) edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:TomMorello-1.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) 05:31, 28 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
