Orphaned fair use image (Image:El Argento's Proyections (DA6 Version).PNG)
Thanks for uploading Image:El Argento's Proyections (DA6 Version).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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:48, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Deletion review
I've removed the tag from Lolrus for the time being. If you want to appeal the afd decision, you need to actually file a deletion review. Adding the tag doesn't start one automatically. Instructions on how to do it are at Deletion review. Thanks! -- Vary | Talk 05:19, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Sock Puppetry
Hi Have mörser, will travel, Good grief, I'm not a sock puppet. The reason I have two separate (but similar!) usernames on wikipedia and wikicommons relates to a historic login/authentication issue. Wikipedia and wikicommons have separate login databases, or else they had separate authentication systems at the time that I was asked by wikicommons to create a user account and wasn't able to use the same account name I had with wikipedia (apparently someone else was using it at wikicommons). Aharon (talk) 04:50, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
 * That article has proven fairly contentious already. There's more discussion on User talk:Alpha Quadrant, who initially declined you submission; it's true that you have improved it much since then, but someone still tagged it for having few third-party sources. As for the sock question, I was trying to forestall the possibility that someone initiates administrative action against you on that basis. I suggest you use: User alternate acct to mark the relationship. Thanks, Have mörser, will travel (talk) 04:57, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
 * There are some alternative methods explained at WP:SOCK. Have mörser, will travel (talk) 05:02, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Reading through the documentation you linked to, I added User alternate acct as to indicate the relationship from my Aharon account on wikipedia. Seem sthe cookies for wikipedia and wikicommons are now in sync so if I login as Aharonium in wikicommons this authentication syndicates to wikipedia. Same can't be said for my login on wilipedia as Aharon carrying over to wikicommons. I only want to do what's right, as I imagine everyone here also feels. Aharon (talk) 05:38, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I have no idea how to deal with your login problem, but I've fixed the templates you used on your Wikipedia account pages. Commons has its own set of templates (separate namespace I guess), so simply using a template name from Wikipedia on Commons doesn't always work. Specifically, the template you tried here didn't work because that's a Commons user page. Have mörser, will travel (talk) 05:43, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you mörser! Aharonium (talk) 03:12, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 16
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Isaac Judah Schmelkes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Galicia. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Aharon, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Isaac Judah Schmelkes has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:17, 20 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you for looking this over and for your correction. I've rewritten the section in my own words with reference to the academic article from which the information was drawn. Aharon (talk) 17:44, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

"We will be encouraging participants to use our collections to create and strengthen articles, and Library volunteers will be available help them do this effectively. In doing so, we hope to encourage participants to move beyond the role of information consumer, and to consider how they can enrich the information landscape—and maybe leave the internet a better place than they found it," Jennings stated.
