License tagging for Image:Diontarte.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Diontarte.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

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

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 03:07, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello Eric1960. From Dec. 4 till Apr. 17, you contributed almost 100 entries for Stéphane Dion's article...and now nothing. It's just not the same as before...when you and CJ and others were making and debating excellent contributions.Que-Can 22:53, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Stephane Dion
Please do not re-add information that has little relevence to Mr. Dion to the Stephane Dion article. Mr. Dion's article does not need to have a paragraph about every Liberal who ever sneezed.

Please read WP:NOT, and WP:BLP. Thanks.Sima Yi 05:18, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. And yes, I've warned the other guy as well. nattan g 20:51, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Diontarte.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Diontarte.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it may be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 13:48, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Stéphane Dion
Ignoring for the moment the fact that your edit is partisan spin of the worst sort (and probably constitutes disruption), I should also let you know that you are also in violation of the three revert rule. Please self-revert now, or you will be at risk of being reported. CJCurrie (talk) 00:43, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

No, your recent edit was not "more neutral" in any significant way. You also missed my point, which is that you aren't permitted to make any adjustments to what others have written on the Stéphane Dion biography page when restricted by the 3RR. Please remove everything that you've written, or you will be at risk of being reported. CJCurrie (talk) 00:49, 19 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Excuse me, but it is YOU who have been deleting material under the pretense of simply screaming "POV POV POV." Please refrain from vandalizing the Stephane Dion page further or YOU will be reported.--Eric1960 (talk) 00:55, 19 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Actually, I should correct myself: you aren't technically in violation of the 3RR at this time. You are, however, still making preposterously POV edits to the Dion page.  I'm not worried about being reported, as anyone who looks over your contributions history will quickly grasp what's happening here.  CJCurrie (talk) 02:12, 19 March 2008 (UTC)


 * My contribution history? You've got some nerve!  I don't think anyone could deny that I contribute (go ahead, check out the archives).  And I edit.  And I try to strike a balance.  You, on the other hand, NEVER initiate contributions (and I mean NEVER).  You invariably delete whatever seems to displease you, and on the rare occasion that you are forced into trying to balance, it is hasty, clumsy, and, more often than not, pocked with errors.  Anybody bothering to read this post: go back into the Stephane Dion archives, and take a look at the 2007 edits. Click on the '500' entries, do a search of CJCurrie, and then look for constructive edits ... or fresh material of ANY KIND AT ALL. If you find anything under the moniker "CJCurrie", please let me know.--Eric1960 (talk) 02:40, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:DION SC.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:DION SC.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.

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).
