Unspecified source for Image:Cristiano Ronaldo.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Cristiano Ronaldo.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. 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 19:56, 5 February 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. talk to Ytny 19:56, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Your image uploads
Hi, I've just marked a couple of the pictures you've uploaded as not having any source information. If you don't include information on where you got the image, and don't provide the proper license (I don't think those are creative commons images), they'll be deleted very quickly.

And you'll find that most photographs you find on the internet are copyrighted, and not appropriate for use on Wikipedia, unfortunately. Thanks, happy editing. talk to Ytny 20:00, 5 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I've marked the Cristiano Ronaldo image for deletion. If you look at the where the picture came from and scroll to the bottom, you can see it clearly says "no reproduction without consent". The Creative Commons license you used wouldn't work here. In general, Wikipedia doesn't accept professional copyrighted photographs of athletes and other celebrities. talk to Ytny 20:30, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Image tagging for Image:HoosForHokies.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:HoosForHokies.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. 05:08, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Do you know who took that photograph? If the source is someone posting on the message board and not a news media source, we may be able to get them to release it under the GFDL. Otherwise, it would have to go. -- BigDT  ( 416 ) 15:20, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:ECACFNlogo.gif
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:ECACFNlogo.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:10, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Tennis Grand Slam editing
If you're going to add the color scheme to the women's page, great. I'm attempting to add title-numbers, so there may be some cross-conflict...but I think that, unlike Funclick, we are on the same page...Ryoung122 18:53, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Manchester United squad numbers
Did you even watch the Community Shield yesterday? Gerard Pique is now #19, and Lee Martin is #30. - PeeJay 14:41, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 46 is the number Martin wore last season. The ManUtd website is known to be very slow when it comes to updating the squad list. - PeeJay 14:51, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * What makes you think the numbers worn in the Community Shield are not definitive? It is a competitive tournament, for which the players use the same numbers that they wear in the Premier League and other competitions under the Football Association banner. - PeeJay 14:56, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. I'd rather not edit it back to the way it was (Pique 28, Martin 46) myself after I argued so fervently against it, but if you want to change it, I won't revert your edits. - PeeJay 18:29, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Kit body thinblacksidesgoldneck.png, has been listed at Images and media for deletion.

Notability of Little Iron Man
A tag has been placed on Little Iron Man requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Mhking (talk) 19:16, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Broadway: Three Generations
A tag has been placed on Broadway: Three Generations, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template   to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Proposed deletion of Elizabeth Egan Gillies


The article Elizabeth Egan Gillies has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Lady of  Shalott  18:58, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Comment
Although it appears that you've been here since at least 2007, you clearly don't know much about Wikipedia. When you revert an edit (or edits) without using an edit summary, you are calling the edit(s) being reverted vandalism, which is outstandingly rude if inaccurate. Secondly, Wikipedia uses WP:SS and is an encyclopedia, not a television show or collection of trivia. The fact that someone is a super-distant relative of someone else is irrelevant here. Thanks.

Proposed deletion of Broadway: Three Generations


The article Broadway: Three Generations has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * Has no notability that would justify its own article. Just an event containing abridged versions of three other works, confirmed by the references.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
