In response to your e-mail
(I assume it was from you) Seeng as you return adress appear to be non-functional (I get a "550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable" error when trying to reply) I'll just copy my reply (wikified) here:

Hi, Actually that would make his family (or technically the family member who took the picture) the source, and that should have been mentioned on the image page along with an appropriate copyright tag. Unfortunately I was not the person who actually deleted that file, so I have not made a backup copy of it, but if you still have access to the image feel free to re-upload it. Just make sure all the relevant information is present on the image description page this time, along with what kind of license the image is under (is the family willing to release it under GFDL, or creative commons or some such license, or does it remain copyrighed? If copyrighted I'd suggest using the  withpermission combo (if you indeed have permission, otherwise skip the withpermission bit), and include a short rationale (see Image description page). Best of luck. --Sherool (talk) 21:29, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Burridge12.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Burridge12.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. 15:06, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Stumps3.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Stumps3.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 03:24, 11 July 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? --MifterBot (Talk • Contribs • Owner) 03:24, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Stump & nort.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Stump & nort.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 19:50, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia.  Ravenswing  17:02, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Traynor your vandalisim of the Randy Burridge page will not be tolerated. i have built & maintained thsi page for over 3 years. you do not have the right to strip important information given about this NHL legends NHL career. The Dufrense Trophy infomation was a good add...but changing the article to a basic boring vanilla article that does not accurately tell the story of this guy is wrong!!! Dont mess with my page....... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hockeymann2399 (talk • contribs)
 * Actually you are adding point of view commentary to this article which is against WP:NPOV. Please cease doing so. -Djsasso (talk) 15:21, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page 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. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. -Djsasso (talk) 15:23, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.


 * You might want to take a look at WP:OWN. And pay heed to the text at the bottom of the page when you go to enter a change that says If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed for profit by others, do not submit it. -Djsasso (talk) 15:33, 2 November 2008 (UTC)


 * On YOUR Randy Burridge page? Sorry, this is Wikipedia's Randy Burridge page, and I strongly suggest you review WP:OWN.  Further, on every single edit page the following Wikipedia caution comes up "If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly by others, do not submit it."  Did you miss that?  Wikipedia's rules against putting in personal commentary apply, and you've been repeatedly reverted by several editors.  If you want to set up a Burridge fanboy page, I'm sure you can find a webhost for it, but here is not the place to do it.    Ravenswing  17:47, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
