Fair use rationale for Image:Chris Crocker - Mind In the Gutter (cover).jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Chris Crocker - Mind In the Gutter (cover).jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 21:47, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Chris Crocker - Mind In the Gutter (cover).jpg)
 Thanks for uploading Image:Chris Crocker - Mind In the Gutter (cover).jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 '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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?

AfD nomination of Mind In the Gutter
I have nominated Mind In the Gutter, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Mind In the Gutter. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. — Do U(knome)?  yes...or no 00:06, 19 October 2008 (UTC)  —  Do U(knome)?  yes...or no 00:06, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Chris Crocker - Mind In the Gutter (cover).jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Chris Crocker - Mind In the Gutter (cover).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, 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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

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 02:52, 19 October 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 02:52, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page V Factory has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. Techman224 Talk  04:18, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

WikiProject Cannabis

 * Welcome! Glad to see you signed up. Please read the project's main page and talk page for more information. Please keep in mind that while many members are likely to be pro-cannabis, our goal is not to gear articles towards any particular point of view. We simply strive to improve as many cannabis-related articles as possible in an attempt to increase the subject's presence on Wikipedia. I look forward to your contributions! -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:41, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Please adhere to editing guidelines and do not reinsert disputed content until you have achieved consensus on the talk page. At the moment there are several reasons why your experiences with cannabis oils should not be mentioned, but I am open to a discussion on the article's talkpage. JFW | T@lk  23:53, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of WHMCS


The article WHMCS has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Read like an advertisement. One source only. Notability not asserted.

While all 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Bownessie


A tag has been placed on Bownessie, 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 encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think that your page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here.  Del ♉ sion 23  (talk)  15:54, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Chris Crocker (updated photo).jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Chris Crocker (updated photo).jpg, which you've attributed to Chris Cunningham. 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 created 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 the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Dianna (talk) 04:29, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

ThaddeusB (talk) 01:05, 21 May 2013 (UTC)


 * While I was examining the article history to give the above credit, I noticed you performed a Copy and paste move. You likely didn't know any better, but doing so actually creates a copyright violation.  As such, please ask an admin for help next time you encounter a page you can't move. --ThaddeusB (talk) 01:23, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Music Mania


A tag has been placed on Music Mania requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organized event (tour, function, meeting, party, etc.), but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here.  STATic  message me!  05:20, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Tim Cook
When I said to take it to Talk, the idea wasn't to add a couple of sentences to Talk and then restore the material, but to seek input from others about the appropriateness of the material. I started a topic at WP:BLPN, and another editor has already removed the material. You're welcome to comment at BLPN. The one thing you should not do is restore the material. That would be disruptive.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:59, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

3RR warning
Please be aware of the three revert rule. An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. You've already restored the "sex abuse scandal" language more than three times on Joshua Duggar. Please use the talk page to discuss the issue and reach consensus. If you can't reach a consensus there, you might try inviting additional participation from one or more of the noticeboards. Continuing to revert without reaching a consensus will result in you being blocked from editing. Dragons flight (talk) 02:20, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

Editor of the Week&thinsp;: nominations needed!
The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.

The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?

Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today!

Hey nice addition to Kanye's article. I agree that antisemitism deserves its own section. However much of what was added was already covered in the "Controversies > General" subsection.

October, 2022
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.  – (talk) 05:42, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
