Case studies at International child abduction in Brazil
Greetings, I've removed the case studies at International child abduction in Brazil after raising the issue on the page's Discussion and getting no clear rebuttal to the concerns that the caste-studies are given disproportionate weight, are written in a subjective manner, and contribute to an overall WP:SOAPBOX trend in the article. ICA in Brazil is certainly a legitimate topic, but it must be addressed in a neutral manner. The material I left, taken largely from official government statements (though slanted towards the US government side) are very constructive contributions, but the case-studies are syntheses of news stories (many of which are themselves non-notable), and completely overwhelm the article with repetitive stories which do not necessarily contribute to a reader's overall understanding of the topic, and certainly not in a concise, encyclopedic manner.

I'd appreciate it if you could state your argument for retaining all or some of the case studies on the Discussion page so we can sort out this issue, rather than revert back and forth. MatthewVanitas (talk) 11:56, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

AfD nomination of International child abduction in Brazil
An article that you have been involved in editing, International child abduction in Brazil, has been listed for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Chabad-messianism2.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Chabad-messianism2.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

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.

Username blocked
Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organization for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
 * Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, please see how to appeal a block. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WikiProject Japan ! 23:12, 16 October 2010 (UTC)


 * You have not been blocked due to your behavior, but only because of your username. &mdash; Train2104 (talk • contribs • count) 01:15, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Here are a few key questions:
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encylopedia article, the subject must be considered to be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Daniel Case (talk) 16:43, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I understand the 3 points above. This is the reason I proposed the new username. Is the new username acceptable? Thanks. --Hatufim-org (talk) 17:46, 17 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm concerned that your name may be related to a company - can you just confirm that you have nothing to do with http://www.thelocalweb.net/index/DAG/tlw_834234.htm ?  Ron h jones (Talk) 20:49, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

I have nothing to do with that webpage, which appears to be part of an outdated directory, or with the company mentioned there. They don't even have a website, so it seems that company doesn't exist anymore. Thanks. --Hatufim-org (talk) 16:06, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Rubashkin-not-kosher.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Rubashkin-not-kosher.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 "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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk  03:52, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Chabad-messianism1.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Chabad-messianism1.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 '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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk  01:40, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
