China Crisis
Thanks for your contributions to the China Crisis article, it's helped a lot! However, it would be useful if you would start using edit summaries to give at least some summary of what you're changing when you make a change to an article. Even things like "add information", "cleanup" or "reformat" are somewhat useful in determining what changes to look at in the history for an article, or how to find when changes were made. If you could try to use edit summaries a little more frequently, I would find that tremendously useful. Thanx much! --Flata 04:42, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Human League
Wow, nice infobox. Thanks. Please use edit summaries; you're obviously a user who can contribute well and is capable of good things, but we can't know what you're doing or intending without summaries of your edits. Happy writing! - Corbin Simpson 07:15, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Please don't blank your user talk page
According to WP:EQ, you should always leave your user talk page as a record of who you've talked to, and as a record of contributions you've made to the Wikipedia. Don't be embarrassed by other's comments - most editors, including you, slowly accumulate praise, barnstars, and prestige from the positive comments left on talk pages. I personally think that you are a good editor, and would just like to remind you of this rule. If you would like to archive or paginate your user talk page, leave me a note on User talk:CorbinSimpson, and I'll come help you do that. Happy editing! - Corbin Simpson 16:36, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Hleague1.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Hleague1.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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Non-free use disputed for Image:Chinacrisis2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Chinacrisis2.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will 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 20:23, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:H17.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:H17.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 11:05, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Mightylemondrops.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Mightylemondrops.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 will 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) 01:02, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

File source problem with File:ADmarschall.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:ADmarschall.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, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:34, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
