User talk:Appaloosa~enwiki

February 2009
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Blossom Dearie has been reverted.

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \bflickr\.com/(?:photos|groups|search)\b (links: http://www.flickr.com/photos/appaloosa/11600983/in/set-271528/). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file.

If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 22:17, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:AdmiralsPoncaPatches.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:AdmiralsPoncaPatches.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. –Drilnoth (T • C) 18:29, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Appaloosa images
Hi Appaloosa - We are working on taking the Appaloosa article to FAC, and so as a final step we had a copyright expert check over the images. He has found a few issues with images that you uploaded. I'm copying his comments here:
 * File:THIEL 619.jpg
 * The farm is owned by Bill and Susan Thiels. The photograph is by Darrell Dodds in 2006.  Saddlebrooks's site has copyrighted its contents and credited the photographers.  This photograph cannot be attributed to User:Appaloosa unless he is Darrell Dodds, of which no information points to as such.


 * File:Appaloosa (DSC00229).jpg
 * I found the image at http://www.barnbuddy.net/gallery2/v/S_B/lukenov/?g2_page=2, dated 11/11/06. Per above, who is User:Appaloosa, is he truly the photographer (copyright owner)?


 * File:Stripedhooves.jpg
 * Appaloosa claims to be William Thiel (likely Bill). As far as I can tell, this photograph cannot be found on www.appaloosa.org.  However, per above, it would be best to confirm Appaloosa's identity through an OTRS ticket, or have the Thiels state their Wikipedia/Commons account on their website.  Even then, they might not be the copyright owner of photograph taken by Dodds (again another OTRS ticket with the necessary documentation to prove the case).
 * I found the photograph at http://www.barnbuddy.net/gallery2/v/S_B/cookiefilly/, dated 02/28/08. Jappalang (talk) 07:00, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Could you please respond to these comments? Thanks! Dana boomer (talk) 15:12, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Appaloosa. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Appaloosa~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 22:04, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.
