User talk:Brooktrout55

Welcome
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, Johnnyseeds, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it you appear to have some connection with Johnny's Selected Seeds. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. MilborneOne (talk) 20:22, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Image source and copyright licensing problem with File:JSSAerialFarm.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:JSSAerialFarm.jpg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work contained within this image, you will need to specify


 * 1) the creator of the original work
 * 2) the copyright status of the original work, usually indicated by adding a licensing tag. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as  or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:24, 4 June 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MilborneOne (talk) 20:24, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

June 2010
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a few moments to create a new account with a username that represents only you. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may ask for a review of this username block by adding the text below this message. Thank you. - Vianello (Talk) 21:49, 4 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Since the user requested a username change shortly before this block, I went ahead and performed it and lifted the block. – xeno talk 00:36, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Johnny's Selected Seeds
A tag has been placed on Johnny's Selected Seeds, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. -- Rrburke (talk) 23:00, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Welcome!

 * Welcome! I've performed your rename. As you can probably see from some of the above, you've had a bit of a rough start here. Keep in mind that articles must meet our inclusion guidelines. Please also be mindful of our WP:COI policies. If you have any questions, feel free to visit my talk page. – xeno talk  00:36, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Johnnys_logo.gif)
Thanks for uploading File:Johnnys_logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 23:25, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Brooktrout55, does not meet our username policy. '''Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).''' A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. -- Cirt (talk) 16:17, 10 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Not that it matters much as the user has not returned, but they've already been renamed from the username over which concern was expressed. – xeno talk 16:46, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
