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 are considered vandalism, and 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. --Yamla 14:48, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Three revert rule

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you.--日本穣 23:16, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Boku 83.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Boku 83.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images 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 Image legality questions page. Thank you. Ned Scott 06:26, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hentai

Do not add any of the unsourced images back to the Hentai page. Please see the Talk:Hentai page for discussion on this matter. If you continue with these edits, it can be considered vandalism and may result in you being blocked from further editing. Thank you for your cooperation. --日本穣 20:24, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] please stop changing the "gender" of fictional characters

Please stop changing the "gender" of fictional characters, I've noticed you've been doing it a with Sponge-Bob articles. These characters are considered male, and it is stated so many times in the show. It does not matter if the species they are based on is male or asexual. Also, you've violated the Three-revert rule several times in doing this. Please stop or you might be blocked from editing. -- Ned Scott 06:24, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Stop BSing, dude. The show says they are asexual. SlashDot 22:19, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
They've always been depicted as having gender. These are cartoon characters, and none of them have genitals, none of them are real. Stating the gender is a descriptive thing for the article, not some technicality. Calling them asexual is confusing and helps no one. -- Ned Scott 02:27, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
They've never been depicted as having gender. SlashDot 03:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
It doen't matter what I say, stop changing the article or you will be blocked for vandalism. -- Ned Scott 04:13, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
or you could be blocked for disruption. SlashDot 04:18, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
... disruption of what? Sounds to me like you have no clue about what you are talking about. I haven't even made any edits on the Spongbob articles at all. See Wikipedia:Three-revert rule, Wikipedia:Vandalism, m:Don't be a dick, Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:Civility, Wikipedia:Etiquette, and others at Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines for reasons why you are likely to be blocked from editing. -- Ned Scott 07:40, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
disruption of user editing of course and try to force your own opinion onto other editors, you need to learn the wikipedia rules. SlashDot 07:41, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
This is just entertainment for me right now, but could you tell me how I am disrupting you? And, as I said, I have not reverted ANY of your Spongbob edits (yet). Oh, and there are no rules, just policy and guidelines. Discussion and comments on article talk pages and user talk pages are encouraged. -- Ned Scott 08:06, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
If you have not realized yet, you threatened to block me for vandalism because i made a change to an article which you consider is wrong but have no evidance whatsoever to backup your claim. Please review wikipedia's rule book, you have much to learn. SlashDot 08:14, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Telling you that your actions are in violation of established policy and/or guidelines is not against any rules, policies, or guidelines. Are you able to link or the "rule" I am breaking? -- Ned Scott 08:21, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Pher.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded, Image:Pher.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

This was listed as a speedy, but has a valid fair use rationale, so I've moved it to IfD. Cheers! BD2412 T 00:52, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zango Messenger

It might not have been your intent, but you recently removed content from Zango Messenger. Please be careful not to remove content from Wikipedia without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Thank you.  — TheKMantalk 08:00, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zango Messenger

Please refrain from removing content from Wikipedia, as you did to Zango Messenger. It is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Phr 08:07, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zango Messenger

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. -- Ned Scott 08:36, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Al Gore

noticed your vandalism on Al Gore. Thought it should be noted... that you should not vandalize articles in this way. -- Ned Scott 09:34, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked

You have been blocked from editing for vandalism of Wikipedia for a period of 24 hours. If you wish to make useful contributions, you are welcome to come back after the block expires. Yamla 14:48, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Explanation and Caution

I reverted User:The Psycho because he made a controversial change the long-standing version of the page with no consensus, no discussion on the talk page, and no infomrative edit summary. He has also been blocked indefinitely due to link spamming and sock-puppetry in an attempt to evade his block. His change has no standing and reverting it through administrative action is entirely proper. Johntex\talk 02:07, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

You have been blocked for 48 hours for being a suspected sockpuppet of User:The Psycho, and for wiki-stalking me to undo my rollback of The Psycho's edits. Johntex\talk 02:09, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Indef block

you have been blocked indefinitely for trolling and as a sock of The Psycho. --Heah? 18:47, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:0_zangomes01.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:0_zangomes01.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. Videmus Omnia Talk 02:22, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
