Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Tracey Ullman has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://mabelmckeown.wordpress.com/. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Live Nation
You need to stop continuously removing Live Nation from the Labels of Madonna. A record lable does not signify only music recording, it also encompasses touring, promotion, brand-value, everything. She might be signed for the albums under Interscope, but Live Nation is the promoter and the propaganda for everything. If you revert further, you will break WP:3RR now and will get reported. — Legolas ( talk 2 me ) 17:26, 14 December 2011 (UTC)


 * No, "label" means "record label". Second, I didn't break the 3RR rule.  Don't try and bully me, or you will be reported.  Interscope is handling the "propaganda".  Live Nation handed it over to them as per their press release two months ago. Itsthegoldenratio (talk) 20:03, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Hoult
I really don't see the point of spreading around another factually inaccurate tidbit. Hoult's mother was born Glenis Brown in 1952 in Cambridgeshire, to English parents. Hello Magazine loves copying Wikipedia biographies, and so it copied that tidbit that was on Wikipedia throughout 2007. No reliable source has ever reported this particular claim, but of course, if this stays on Hoult's Wikipedia entry, they eventually probably will. I'm not going to stop removing this from Hoult's article until it becomes true, which it can't barring some form of retroactivity. All Hallow&#39;s Wraith (talk) 03:55, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Where's the source for Hoult's mother being born in 1952 in Cambridgeshire to English parents? This can be cleared up if you can provide a reputable source. Itsthegoldenratio (talk) 06:49, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * It's original research from ancestry.com (Hoult's birth record, his parents' marriage record, and so on). But I don't need a source because I'm not putting his mother's genealogy into the article. According to the Waybackmachine, the first version of the Hello Magazine page was placed on July 9, 2007, after the Wikipedia article had the content in it but before it was removed. Wouldn't having a Palestinian-born parent have been reported by now (before or after the Hello Magazine site) somewhere else? (Skandar Keynes' Arab ancestry has been extensively documented, for example) I have no objection with this content being placed in the article if it was true, but it isn't, and the source is well too weak to support it. All Hallow&#39;s Wraith (talk) 07:37, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I see your point. Itsthegoldenratio (talk) 07:42, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, and not that it proves or disproves anything, but here are some pictures of Hoult's mother. All Hallow&#39;s Wraith (talk) 07:55, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Cute, but I'm going to come right out and say it: she doesn't look 100% ethnically British IMHO. Itsthegoldenratio (talk) 07:57, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * LOL, just look at this picture of Julie Walters then All Hallow&#39;s Wraith (talk) 08:00, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Not sure what you're getting at, but any photo of Nicholas is appreciated. ;) Itsthegoldenratio (talk) 08:00, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm just saying that Walters, in that picture, looks considerably more "plausibly Palestinian" than Hoult's mother (dark hair, eyes, etc. on Walters). All Hallow&#39;s Wraith (talk) 08:03, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Kathy-burke.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Kathy-burke.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media 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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 00:31, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

==Speedy deletion nomination of File:This is the cover art for Rose by the artist the Cranberries. The cover art copyright is believed to belong to Cooking Vinyl.jpg==

A tag has been placed on File:This is the cover art for Rose by the artist the Cranberries. The cover art copyright is believed to belong to Cooking Vinyl.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. B music  ian  02:40, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 17
Hi. When you recently edited Tracey Ullman: A Class Act, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page American (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:41, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

May 2012
Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Kevin Smith. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 00:00, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The information is not incorrect. Itsthegoldenratio (talk) 00:01, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Kevin Smith. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Elizium23 (talk) 00:08, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * No, you will be blocked for your history of misunderstanding Wiki procedure. Learn the ropes of Wikipedia first, before playing hall-monitor. Itsthegoldenratio (talk) 00:13, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I heartily encourage you to report me for whatever imagined violation you can. Please read WP:Citing sources and WP:RS sometime, you might learn something during your block period. Elizium23 (talk) 00:17, 15 May 2012 (UTC)


 * As someone who has learned the ropes of Wikipedia, allow me to explain two things:
 * 1. Misunderstanding Wikipedia procedure is not a blockable offense. Violating it repeatedly, however, is.
 * 2. While I adding unsourced information, in and of itself, is not "vandalism" (and I would direct this point at Elizium23, who I'm sure was acting in good faith), it is not permitted on Wikipedia. Wikipedia requires that all material added to articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. This is true of all articles, but is enforced more strictly with biographical information. While Elizium may have erred in how he/she categorized your edits, he/she was correct to point out that adding uncited information is not permitted on Wikipedia. If you have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. :-) Nightscream (talk) 02:01, 15 May 2012 (UTC)


 * I apologize for my actions earlier. I did make a mistake in judging your actions to be vandalism, and I was mistaken about the factual basis of the addition. In checking news stories, I can see that Kevin Smith is indeed an LGBT activist. It is my knee-jerk reaction to label this as vandalism, because (a) it is a contentious category that needs strong sourcing, and (b) we have had problems in the past with editors mass-adding it to articles where it did not apply. However, I stand by my decision to remove it from the article and to warn you for adding unsourced information. If you wish to add this information to the article, you must write some prose which describes his activism, you must cite a reliable secondary source which describes him as an activist, and then you may add the category as well. I thoroughly apologize for the misunderstanding, I will strike my bad warning, and I wish you well in further editing here. Elizium23 (talk) 06:34, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Richard Cant
Hi and apologies for taking so long to get back to you.

I'm afraid all the information I could gather about Richard Cant came from browsing the web, mostly IMDb - along with an interview I discovered with his father, Brian.

Sorry I can't be of more help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gham1970 (talk • contribs) 14:11, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Traceytitle.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Traceytitle.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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:48, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
