[edit] Images

Stop uploading images from flicker.com, most are not fair use, only a select few that says somerightsreserved are, and the ones you are uploading are not among them. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 20:05, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

A few images fro flicker can be user if you credit the author who created the image in there, http://www.flickr.com/photos/suespolan/107765124/ is a example of a image that can be used, as it says some rights reserved and it's under that license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/, upload those images in wikimedia commons not here, most other images in flicker are a no-no. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 20:22, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Opinion Please

What is your opinion on using images from www.flickr.com on Wikipedia?MP123 03:13, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Some of the images on the site are released under compatible Creative Commons licenses — ones that allow commercial use and derivative works — and can be used on WP, provided that they are properly tagged and give all required attribution. Many other images, like this one, that you uploaded as Image:Cameron Maybin.jpg, state that all rights are reserved. ×Meegs 06:35, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked

You have been blocked from editing for 72 hours. I wrote an extensive message to you at User talk:CubsFan2006#Final warning; you have ignored this and continued to upload copyrighted images with improper templates and bogus fair use claims. I will keep this message very brief:

  1. Please edit using only one account, User:CubsFan2006. If you would like to change your name of the account, you can do so at Wikipedia:Changing username.
  2. Do not upload copyrighted images until you thoroughly read and understand each of the links I provided you on your other talk page. Your 72 hour block from editing should give you time to begin the process. Do not use the {{promotional}} tag unless an image comes from a press kit. Remember that Wikipedia is a free content encyclopedia and very rarely utilizes copyrighted images. After all of this time, thought, it may be best for you to leave those rare instances to others and stick to contributing text (that you yourself have written).

[edit] Image Tagging for Image:Rose_Bowl_Stadium.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Rose_Bowl_Stadium.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

Excuse the question, but are you also User:Microphon200, the photographer who claimed credit for Image:Rose Bowl Day After.JPG? They are clearly the same photograph, but the newer upload has reduced resolution and is a bit blurry. Is it ok if we delete it in favor of the older one? ×Meegs 21:29, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
Yes, keep the older one. And yes I am Microphon200.--MP123 03:04, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Done. Note, though, that Image:Rose Bowl Day After.JPG is not currently in any articles. ×Meegs 16:10, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] user accounts

So, are these all your accounts: User:MP123, User:Microphon200, User:CubsFan2006? As you were advised above, please edit using only one account. The use of sock puppets is discouraged. --mtz206 (talk) 14:01, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Baseball America Top 100 Prospects 2006

Please do not remove maintenance notices from pages unless the required changes have been made. If you are uncertain whether the page requires further work, or if you disagree with the notice, please discuss these issues on the page's talk page before removing the notice from the page. These notices and comments are needed to establish community consensus about the status of an page. Thank you. --mtz206 (talk) 16:52, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Brian Urlacher.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Brian Urlacher.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 20:05, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Note that permission for use on the Wikipedia site is not sufficient: the images of the encyclopedia, like its text, must be licensed in a manner that makes them useable anywhere by anyone. ×Meegs 23:16, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Kournikova

Upload the picture to a new file and stop reverting in the meantime. --TJive 05:40, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits, such as those you made to Oscar de la Hoya, are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thanks. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 00:31, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Hines Ward.jpg

I listed Image:Hines Ward.jpg on WP:PUI as it's clearly not a promotional image as it came from a copyrighted news agentcy. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 03:08, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] July 7, 2006

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Mike Tyson, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Antonrojo 16:42, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked

I blocked you indef for vandalism, uploading copyrighted images with false rationales, you been blocked before for this but keep on uploading. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 23:34, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Hello MP123. I have asked Jaranda to shorten your block to a finite amount of time. While this account is blocked, however, I'd like to remind you and emphasize that, with the exception of this page, you are not permitted to edit Wikipedia at all, either anonymously or using another account. Violating this rule may lead to you being permanently banned. ×Meegs 03:28, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
  • I reblocked to 2 weeks, if you upload one more copyvio image, or make another account, you are blocked indef. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 04:44, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
I'd like to emphasize Jaranda's point. You have exhausted the community's patience with your uploads. I highly suggest, when you come back from this block, that you only edit the text of Wikipedia. You should not upload any copyrighted images, whether you found them on a web page or reproduced them from a printed source via scanner or digital camera. If you must contribute images, please be sure that they are entirely your own creation, such as your photograph of the Rose Bowl stadium. ×Meegs 05:50, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

how long am i blocked for?--MP123 00:18, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

14 days, ending July 22 00:42 (UTC). If you're in the U.S., that is friday night. ×Meegs 00:23, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Minor Edits

Can minor edits only be made by registered users?--MP123 05:01, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

I didn't think so, but apparently. I just looked through all of the edits to Detroit, Michigan, and the last minor edit by an IP address was on 2002 September 25, so that option must have been disabled sometime between then and now. ×Meegs 05:00, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Joe Mauer.jpg

Hi. I've removed a message from OrphanBot about Image:Joe Mauer.jpg, which you recently retagged as {{no license}}. Thanks for helping to clean up these image you've uploaded. If you could finish the job and tag the rest of them (none of which meet fair use criterion #1, and most of which are likely not publicity photos meant for republication), that would be really helpful. Below is a list of all of them. The list's presence on this page will prevent any additional OrphanBot messages, by the way. ×Meegs 08:17, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

What is the deal? Did you feel it was necessary to add "no, no, no,no"? This is a good image with no issues. Take your frustrations out somewhere else! I nominate this user to be blocked indefinately!!! --RyguyMN 04:26, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Joe Thomas

I noticed you created the page Joe Thomas (Offensive tackle) but a page previously existed at Joe Thomas. I was going to redirect it to the latter, but thought that you might know best if there is any differing content to merge in. Feel free to go ahead and do so either way.

[edit] T. J. Houshmandzadeh

I determined the addition you made to T. J. Houshmandzadeh to be unhelpful, and I have reverted it. VegaDark 07:27, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] November 2006

Thank you for experimenting with the page New York Giants on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. —Wrathchild (talk) 01:43, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
