[edit] Cheers

Thank you for reverting vandalism to Arjen Robben, and a number of other pages which I see in your contribs. Keep up the great work! S. Miyano 11:35, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry. That was my mistake. Still getting used to WP:VPRF GDon4t0 (talk to me...) 16:39, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:RS_Settat.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:RS_Settat.JPG. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. 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 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:

[edit] About Cheryl Cole Article

Good to see that the issue has been successfully resolved.

Here are some general advices:

If a user persists in adding unreferenced material to biographies, as an argument, you can use information found here: Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons
You can also warn the user with one of these standardised messages, found here: Wikipedia:Template_messages/User_talk_namespace
If the material added does really have some information in it, but is biased, then re-write it from a neutral point of view (NPOV). See this tutorial about how to write in NPOV: NPOV tutorial.
You could also tag the article with one of these messages (use sparingly though): Wikipedia:Template_messages/Disputes

But if the user is acting in bad faith and is purposefully making bad edits, then refer to: How to deal with vandalism, while keeping in mind:
- Civility is one of the pillars of Wikipedia. Avoid being rude, no matter how aggressive or obnoxious the vandal is. Some of them may want you to become angry and lose your temper: Don't fall for that!
- Don't bite the newcomers. Not all bad edits are necessarily intentional vandalism. Some of them may just be test edits by newer editors.
- On many ISPs, IP addresses are shared by many users, so be extra-careful not to be rude in your messages, as people seeing them may not be the same ones who vandalised.
- Content disputes are not vandalism: If a user is adding biased content or you disagree with the information added, that doesn't mean the editor is vandalising. This includes violations of Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy. Corollary: 3RR rule still applies since it's not blatant vandalism. Instead of constantly reverting, discuss edits on talk pages and obtain community consensus. See resolving disputes.

Hope it helps

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:UnionTouarga.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:UnionTouarga.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 05:10, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LOTR

Hi - thanks for the continued restraint on the LOTRO page. I've popped a semi protection on it for now, to avoid the anonymous editing issue. Regards, --Oscarthecat 11:18, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

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.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:22, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:U.S.M..JPG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:U.S.M..JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 image 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 '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. PxMa 15:40, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:UnionSidiKacem.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:UnionSidiKacem.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.

Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Aitmelloul.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Aitmelloul.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) 18:14, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
