Images
Please consider the images guidelines at WP:SEX. Sexual images have caused problems on Wikipedia.

We could use some proof that the people in the images currently being uploaded give their consent to have their photograph used in this way. While Wikipedia does not currently have a required method for this, good means of verification are proposed on Private photos of identifiable models. The easiest is usually a picture of the model holding a sign that says "WIKIPEDIA OKAY".

Also, per the Vanity guidelines, you should probably remove images that include yourself from articles. (This does not apply to your User page of course).

Thank you for your contributions. / edgarde 21:10, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Chi Chiz, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

unnotable, no references, and used as a self-promotion vehicle for User:Gaynewyorker AKA Chris Holden, who is found in the links and began the article

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the 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. David Shankbone 18:07, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Gaynewyorker. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Gaynewyorker~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:00, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
