Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. --KojiDude (viva la BAM!) 01:36, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Regarding Edit summary on Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2
Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. -- bulletproof 3:16 16:46, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
- Wikipedians often report as facts things they remember hearing about or reading somewhere, but they don't remember where, and they have no corroborating evidence. It is important to seek reliable sources to verify these types of reports, and if they cannot be verified, any editor may delete or challenge them.
It is always appropriate to ask other editors to produce their sources. The burden of evidence lies with the editor who has made the edit in question, and any unsourced material may be removed by any editor. However, some editors may object if you remove material without giving people a chance to find a source, particularly when the material is not obviously wrong, absurd, or harmful. Instead of removing such material immediately, editors are encouraged to move it to the talk page, or to place the {{fact}} template after the disputed word or sentence, or to tag the article by adding {{not verified}} or {{unsourced}} at the top of the page. See Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research, which are policy, and Wikipedia:Avoid weasel words.
Do not, however, remove statements that you believe to be both true and common knowledge, simply because they aren't sourced. Don't, for instance, remove a reference to "earth's elliptical orbit" simply because the writer has not supported the assertion that planetary orbits are elliptical.
If you do honestly disbelieve a statement, do remove it and request a source on the talk page. If you do honestly think it isn't common knowledge, do tag it as requiring a reference or query it on the talk page. And do be skeptical about claims of "common knowledge" about people, especially living people. Gossip is not common knowledge.-- bulletproof 3:16 16:57, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

- I have provided not one but two reliable sources, You on the other hand have provided none. Therefore, it is now you who must provide a reliable source. I have provided evidence to support the claim. You Tube, per Wikipedia policy, is not a reliable source as it can be edited by anyone just like in Wikipedia. Failure to provide a reliable source will result in your claim being removed per Wikipedia:Verifiability -- bulletproof 3:16 17:13, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Erythropoietic Protoporphyria
Hi, I noticed that you created the page Erythropoietic Protoporphyria. All of the text on that page seems to have been copied directly from this web page. I have flagged the article for speedy deletion as a probably copyright violation. Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text borrowed from other web sites or printed material.
There is already an existing article on this disease which can be found at Erythropoietic protoporphyria. If you have more information, you should probably add it to that article. Please take care to ensure that any new information you add is not directly copied from an external source without permission. Thanks. - Eron 04:14, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, I thought a reference added at the end credits a website for its writing. Blindman shady 04:19, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

- The references detail where the information used to write the article came from, but the article itself must be original, not a direct word-for-word copy of the source. Wikipedia's copyright policy explains this in some detail. - Eron 13:01, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:FindingJudas.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:FindingJudas.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}. If you have not already done so, please also include the source of the image. In many cases this will be the website where you found it.
Please specify the copyright information and source on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. PullToOpen - talk 01:24, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
