Proposed merger
Hello there. I see that, after making substantial edits at Robert L. Hymers, you reverted yourself and instead created a new article. I have left messages on both article's talk pages proposing that the two be merged, as our policies discourage multiple articles on the same person. Let me state that while it appears that you are positively disposed towards the subject of the article, you clearly have made a good-faith attempt to include legitimately controversial matters. Additionally, your article is more compliant with the wikipedia manual of style that the other one; accordingly, I have proposed using your article as the base for the merger. Your comments are welcome at the article's talk page. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  15:58, 31 July 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. Shell   babelfish 23:03, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Re: R. L. Hymers Jr. article
Hello. I justed reverted an edit you made to the article in which you were addressing a particular editor. Please understand that it is not appropraiate to place messages directed at a single person within an article; furthermore it is considered highly imappropriate (and in is ground to be blocked) to disclose personal information about another editor that they have not themselves revealed. Having said that, you will see that the editor in question has been reproved by an administrator concerning the lack of neutrality in his/her edits, and has been asked to avoid editing the page. If you look at the history tab, you can see that the editor largely has done so (the last edit was a minor change that did not affect the article's meaning. If you have further comments please address them on the article's talk page, or drop me a line if you wish. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  20:58, 29 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Kdl4082, please understand that your message on my talk page comes across as being a threat to resort to legal process. While of course there is nothing improper about that, it is Wikipedia policy that your account be blocked until the legal threat is rescinded. This is in order ensure that legal matters are resolved through proper channels, and not exacerbated by activities on-wiki. Having said that, I see nothing in the R. L. Hymers article that would create any risk of physical harm to anyone. It sounds as if you (assuming that you are authorized to speak for Mr. Hymers) or his representative may wish to contact the Wikimedia Foundation (the "owners" of Wikipedia) with any concerns. The proper means to do so is by email to OTRS@wikimedia.org.


 * With respect to any further edits to the article, if they violate Wikipedia policy (and as I mentioned previously, this one did) I am confident that they will again be quickly reverted. You are welcome to civilly discuss your concerns on the page designated for that purpose, which is Talk:R. L. Hymers, Jr.. If you are concerned about the tone of the article, you could use the template (just type that out at the top of the page). However, adding edits such as your last one is not the best way to accomplish your aims. I will post a copy of this response at your talk page; if you wish to reply please do so at my page.

Hello again Kdl4082. Please let me remind you that Wikipedia is not the proper forum for your disputes; whatever problems you may have with others should not be brought here even if other people in the dispute happen to edit here. Any further edits like the one you made to the Hymer's article or any other threats or commentary about the editor known here as Scooge will result in the immediate removal of your editing privileges. If you have any specific concerns about the article's current content, you're welcome to use the talk page of the article for those discussions, but again, the discussion should be confined to article improvements and not discuss other editors.

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page R. L. Hymers, Jr. has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

 * Please don't add large blocks of text to Wikipedia. It'd be more appropriate to add a link to the site, and add a short summary to the article.   Will Beback    talk    04:34, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:TimothyLin 2.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:TimothyLin 2.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, 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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. 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 Non-free content, 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 files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 03:49, 16 October 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 03:49, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
