Welcome to the wide world of Wikipedia
Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~&#126;); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Final Fantasy linkspam
Please do not add links to your Final Fantasy fansite &mdash; or your favorite Final Fantasy fansite &mdash; to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. If you would like the link to be considered for inclusion, please suggest it at WikiProject Final Fantasy. Thanks. – Seancdaug 07:18, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Please stop. If you continue to use Wikipedia for advertising that website, you will be blocked from editing. Please read our External Links Policy to see what is acceptable. – Seancdaug 20:51, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

You have been temporarily blocked from editing Wikipedia for continuing to add spam links. If you wish to make useful contributions, you are welcome to come back after the block expires. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 04:26, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

To clear the air: I have nothing personally against you, nor am I questioning the worthiness of the sites you've been linking to, per se. As the above templated notice says, however, there are guidelines which exist to ensure that external links sections don't turn into comprehensive and unwieldy fanlistings, and the fact that you continued to reinsert those links after having been alerted to the relevant information without even attempting to engage a dialogue is a problem. I am sorry you've been blocked, however.

Also, as a side note, I noticed you mentioned on Bmicomp's discussion page about one of the sites being a reference for the article itself. External references are valid, and should be listed, but they should generally not be included as part of a list of external links, but as explicitly labelled references. I'm going to go ahead and edit the article to reflect this, and apologize for missing that to begin with. I hope that the link to Open Directory Project's listing (which includes the two links in question) will prove a satisfcatory solution to this situation. – Seancdaug 04:41, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Fridaythe13thPart4.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Fridaythe13thPart4.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.

Fair use rationale for Image:Dcover.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Dcover.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Project FMF (talk) 03:42, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
