Hi, I have changed the university of St Andrews logo back to the one I uploaded, it is the current logo, the older one is at least 2 years out of date. Please do not change it again. -- Jamesmcmahon0 (talk) 16:16, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Adding copy-pasted text to articles
Your addition to University Health Network has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Even leaving the copyright issues aside, it's generally not a good idea to copy and paste big, unwikified lumps of text into Wikipedia articles, regardless of their source.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Windsor University School of Medicine Classroom.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Windsor University School of Medicine Classroom.jpg. 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. Hazard-Bot (talk) 05:07, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Policy is quite clear
I expect you to either revert yourself or begin to immediately start providing citations for the content in this edit

Policy is quite clear that challenged content MUST be accompanied by: an inline citation before being restored- not by: a wave at other articles that have unsourced content. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  02:54, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

I have no skin in this game, but mass deletions like this are completely inappropriate. I will work on this on my own time then, but what I want to make very very clear, if you truly felt every line needed to be cited, why have you not targeted every page of every university because the truth is none of them have citations. This seems to me a classic case of using an arcane rule in order to selective target a school's page. Captain108 (talk) 02:55, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Mdcl.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Mdcl.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 05:05, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Mdcl.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Mdcl.jpg, which you've attributed to McMaster University. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 08:30, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:MDCL Building at McMaster University.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:MDCL Building at McMaster University.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:38, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Recognition of your character and update about the Osgoode Law School page
This is a hello and thank you for your good conduct that was found in reviewing the appalling history of the Osgoode Hall Law School page. It is obvious that there is someone, and most recently there are some people, who are keen on abusing wikipedia and it's rules and policies in order to obstruct the proper development of that page. Good on you for making it clear that something was seriously amiss...bad on all the wiki admins who just stood by and watched. You may be interested to know that various admin accounts are now obstructing the page again. After having no response to PaulyDee and seeing the page get developed (thanks to your initiation of a new list with citations in the works) a bunch of people including admins have chosen to censor any additions to the page if they think they have any reason to suspect that PaulyDee is 'sockpuppetting'. The page is now semi protected with the stated reason of preventing vandalism...but there was none. Moreover, there was no opportunity for objective dispute resolution in the face of disagreement. They simply decided that PaulyDee's contributions were somehow offensive...to them. The matter was not allowed to be pursued via the wikipedia dispute resolution process because admins actually erased every single post that any account made on the dispute resolution boards about the disputed reversions. How's that for a process? They must be pleased that they think there is sockpuppetry going on because apparently that means that there are suddenly no rules. I wonder how legitimate a dispute resolution system is seen that prevents people from actually making a complaint for objective consideration. And how legitimate an 'open' encyclopedia administration is that, following censorship of one account, actually has the hubris to use the rationale of sockpuppetry to impose general obstruction of any account that might plausibly be from the account they initially censored. Yes, this is what is going on in the great 'open encyclopedia'. And would you believe that one of the admins abusing their admin tools is a lawyer in toronto? I won't say who or post the proof and I am making it clear that this is strictly a public service announcement. In fact, please take it as wild speculation...for now. But you were quite obviously correct in the past when dealing with one 'red pen of doom' that someone DOES have skin in the game and was abusing wikipedia for their goals. Anyway, there are still some people who find this to be quite outrageous and would appreciate your participation again, even if very limited. Currently it is the following admins (User:Paul Erik, User:Sro23, User:Dane2007, User:NeilN) who have reverted things that should remain on the page (notable alumni who obviously went there and are even cited). Do you care to restore them? It would be much appreciated. Either way, this message is a recognition of your good conduct in the face of very obvious wikipedia corruption in the past...corruption that is going on again in the present. Thanks and best wishes!95.141.20.199 (talk) 23:22, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
