Using tables for literary works
Please just use lists. See WP:WHENTABLE to learn when is the right time to use tables and when it is a bad idea. Thanks, TheStickMan [✆Talk] 22:52, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Please stop creating unnecessary tables, as you did at English literature. PLEASE just use lists when lists are sufficient enough to convey the information. Again, please see WP:WHENTABLE for more information. Further such edits will be seen as disruptive. TheStickMan [✆Talk] 16:13, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Non-free image use
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload new images. However, it appears that one or more of the images you have recently uploaded or added to a page, specifically User:Arredondo ales/sandbox, may fail our non-free image policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted image of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free image criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:18, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi Arredondo ales. The licensing of each image you see on Wikipedia is determined by it copyright status and not every image file you see on Wikipedia is licensed the same. Some files are licensed as public domain or licensed under a free licensed suitable for Wikipedia and these are often collectively referred to as "free images". Other files are licensed as non-free content because of their copyright status and these file are commonly referred to as "non-free images". Non-free image use is highly restricted and each use of such an an image must satisfy Wikipedia's non-free image use policy. One of these restrctions is WP:NFCC, which says that non-free content can only be used in the article namespace. Non-free content should not be used on usepages or their subpages as explained in WP:UP which is why I have removed a number of non-free logos from your user page. Perhaps you did not notice the edit sum I left the first time I removed the images; therefore, I'm posting this here to provide more explanation. Please do not re-add these logos again because doing so is clearly in violation of relevant Wikipedia policy. If you have any questions about this, you can ask for help at WP:MCQ or WT:NFCC. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:20, 20 April 2017 (UTC)


 * As explained above, non-free content is not permitted to be used in user sandboxes like User:Arredondo ales/sandbox, so it's not clear why you re-added those previously removed files once again with this edit. Posts on your user talk page are meant to inform you of various things about Wikipedia and how it works. It's OK to make a mistake once or maybe even twice; if, however, you keep making the same mistake over again despite the warnings not to do so, then an administrator may be asked to get involved to prevent any further disruption. Wikipedia policy is quite clear on the use of non-free content in the user namespace, so please do not re-add those files again. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here or ask for assistance at WP:MCQ. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:01, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Non-free work in sandboxes
Hi there,

Just a note to say that while Wikipedia does allow non-free material (i.e. logos) in its articles (under certain circumstances - see WP:NFCC), it is not allowed anywhere else - for instance user pages or sandboxes. There is however an easy way to get round this - when you're creating work in a sandbox, simply add a colon to the start of the filename, and then it won't be shown. When your sandbox is moved to an article, you can remove the colon. For instance, if you have an image called ThisIsAnImage.jpg ...


 * [[File:ThisIsAnImage.jpg]] will display the non-free image
 * File:ThisIsAnImage.jpg will suppress it.

Hope this helps, Black Kite (talk) 22:48, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at User talk:Marchjuly, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. &mdash; O Fortuna   semper crescis, aut decrescis  14:50, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Please do not delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at User talk:Marchjuly. Such edits are disruptive, and may appear to other editors to be vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. &mdash; O Fortuna   semper crescis, aut decrescis  14:52, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
