[edit] Hellraiser

Your recent edits were reverted due to the fact that they were already on the page. Many articles about films within a series contain a box at the bottom of the page that links to the other films in that series.  BIGNOLE   (Question?)  (What I do)  16:06, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Candyland-1949.JPG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Candyland-1949.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 insure 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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. ShakespeareFan00 13:51, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Matt Hughes.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Matt Hughes.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. east.718 08:40, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Diego Sanchez.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Diego Sanchez.jpg. 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. east.718 15:04, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Martin_ODonnell.jpg

I have tagged Image:Martin_ODonnell.jpg as {{replaceable fair use}}. If you wish to dispute this assertion, please add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}} to the image description page and a comment explaining your reasoning to the the image talk page. Rettetast 22:18, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use disputed for Image:SteveDownes.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:SteveDownes.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 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. — TKD::Talk 06:01, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits to Wikipedia

[edit] Your recent edits to Wikipedia

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Jeff Gerstmann‎ . Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute 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.

Also, carefully read WP:BLP. You cannot put statements such as "it has been speculated" in a BLP, as it shows clear contentiousness. Also, all the statements about Eidos are unsourced, which again fails BLP; while the policy is designed biography of a living person, a company's management staff can just as easily read an unsavoury article about his/her company and threaten legal action.

[edit] 3RR

On the Jeff Gerstmann article be aware you have violated the Three-revert rule for doing more than 3 reverts to a single article in a 24-hr period. As you have not received a warning to such, and I'd rather resolve what we can via talk pages, I want make sure you are aware of the rule so that you don't stumble into again and we can work out what information should go where.

Also, please note that as User:Spectre has pointed out that biographies of living people are held to a much higher standard than regular articles (note that while Spectre has also violated the 3RR, reverts made to remove fraudulent, speculative, or other potentially defaming material are specifically allowed and not counted towards WP:3RR. I understand the need to put this information in WP, but as I've mentioned, it doesn't below directly with Gerstmann's article. --MASEM 00:26, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
