Hello, I'm Iambic Pentameter. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Weasel— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. — Iambic Pentameter (talk / contribs) 19:22, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate images to Wikipedia, as you did to Weasel; it is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. — Iambic Pentameter (talk / contribs) 19:49, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Don't tell me what to do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ladydragonwolf-69 (talk • contribs)
 * Well, actually, if you don't behave, we not only can but must. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  22:27, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently making disruptive edits. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.

FINE!!!! I WILL JUST CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT ON A DIFFERENT COMPUTER!!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ladydragonwolf-69 (talk • contribs)


 * Please don't. That will only lead to that account being immediately blocked. —C.Fred (talk) 22:41, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Okay, so is there anything I can do to get unblocked if I apologize or something? I'm sorry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ladydragonwolf-69 (talk • contribs)

I really am sorry. I apologize for wasting your time.

I hope you can forgive me, User:Orangemike. I am truly sorry. User:Ladydragonwolf-96

When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment; or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (Insert-signature.png or Signature icon.png) located above the edit window.

Thank you. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  23:13, 18 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Instructions for requesting unblocking are in the orange box that announces your block. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  23:13, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Thank you, User:Orangemike.Ladydragonwolf-69 (talk) 23:24, 18 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Obviously you have got off to an unfortunately bad start here. I would very much like to unblock you, but you will, I hope, appreciate that we need to be happy that you will in future edit productively. If unblocked what do you intend to write about?--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 23:36, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

User:Anthony Bradbury As a new user, I am unexperienced and will likely consult an administrator for permission before making updates in the future. Ladydragonwolf-69 (talk) 23:40, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

User:CAPTAIN RAJU I would like to request you to undo the following reversion on : (cur | prev) 22:39, 18 March 2017‎ CAPTAIN RAJU (talk | contribs)‎ m. . (6,501 bytes) (-123)‎. . (Reverted 1 edit by Ladydragonwolf-69 identified as test/vandalism using STiki) (undo) (cur | prev) 22:02, 18 March 2017‎ Ladydragonwolf-69 (talk | contribs)‎. . (6,624 bytes) (+123)‎. . (I added an image.) (undo) (Tag: Visual edit) Ladydragonwolf-69 (talk) 23:44, 18 March 2017 (UTC)


 * The problem with your edit is that you tried to add an image that doesn't exist. Captain Raju was correct in reverting. —C.Fred (talk) 23:52, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Okay. I apologize. I am sorry. Thank you. Ladydragonwolf-69 (talk) 23:54, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

I must have made a mistake somewhere when attempting to upload.Ladydragonwolf-69 (talk) 23:55, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
 * The image was deleted on Commons as a copyright violation, along with all other images you uploaded. Anthony Bradbury, given the total lack of helpful edits and the demonstrated lack of insight prior to the block, I object to an unblock. See also Commons. I do not think that Ladydragonwolf-69 is able or willing to edit constructively. Huon (talk) 00:41, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Why was it a Copyright violation? I clicked the option that said I found the images on the internet and I typed "Goole" in next to sources. Is there something I did wrong? I apologized for trolling earlier and promise not to do it again. I will not upload anymore images to Commons until I have learned to properly cite sources and I promise to consult an admin. before editing pages in the future. If you could find a link to an article or site that explains proper citation, that would be greatly appreciated. Again, I am new to this. Please, give me a second chance. Ladydragonwolf-69 (talk) 00:49, 19 March 2017 (UTC)


 * If you found the images via Google, there's very little chance that they were released under a free license like the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, and you provided no evidence that they were. Re-publishing something that isn't freely licensed without permission violates the copyright of the creator. Huon (talk) 00:52, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

I'm still confused. Do you mean that I was supposed to use something other than Google images or that I can use Google but I need an HTML address, or what?Ladydragonwolf-69 (talk) 00:58, 19 March 2017 (UTC)


 * The problem outlined does not lie within your usage of Google images, rather the 'ownership' of the images that you used. All images uploaded should comply with Wikipedia's image use policy — they must either be free for reuse (and in accordance with the guidlines) or available for "fair use" which is allowed in certain circumstances‍. The copyright status of the image must be established before uploading. The page Uploading images is a far simpler summary of this which does not make for an overwhelming read like Wikipedia's image use policy might. Hope this helps — Iambic Pentameter (talk / contribs) 01:11, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Is there a website I can use to see what the Copyright status of something is like who the author is and what HTML it came from and the date of release?Ladydragonwolf-69 (talk) 01:18, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Ladydragonwolf-69 (talk) 01:33, 19 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Unless you have reason to assume otherwise, say a tag explicitly stating that an image is released under a specific license or evidence that it's so old that it's out of copyright (which, depending on circumstances, may mean "published before 1923", "creator died more than 70 years ago", or something else - copyright is difficult), we must by default assume that an image is copyrighted with all rights reserved - and thus unsuitable for the Wikimedia Commons, and unsuitable for Wikipedia too unless it meets the non-free content criteria (and I can't imagine an image of a dhampyr or of Ryan's head photoshopped onto a weasel would qualify). Unless an image is watermarked, there are few ways to tell where it came from - a Google Image search may reveal the source, but Google isn't perfect. Determining the copyright holder also is somewhat tricky; more reputable websites credit the author or copyright holder, but many others do not. Some very few images contain copyright information in their metadata. Huon (talk) 02:06, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

So, to be safe, don't upload any pictures that I did not personally take, right? What if the picture is of an art sculpture that is fairly new? For example, there is a statue of bigfoot in Flag Rock near where I live, and I took a picture of myself next to it. Would I have to copyright my own picture if I uploaded it and what about the fact that someone's sculpture is in it?Ladydragonwolf-69 (talk) 02:11, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Would you please reconsider your previous objection? I am sincere in my apology. I promise I will not intentionally disrupt the progression of information.Ladydragonwolf-69 (talk) 02:41, 19 March 2017 (UTC)


 * I'd just like to put in my two cents having been involved here (I'm not an admin) . You have obviously got off to a bad start here, but I wouldn't want to see someone being barred of making constructive contributions, and the last few comments you've made here suggest that you are somewhat interested in this, but as stated, we do need to know that you are going to actually edit constructively — perhaps a read of the main policies, and an answer to Anthony's question of what you intend to contribute if unblocked would be in order? — Iambic Pentameter (talk / contribs) 16:26, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

If I saw something I felt was incomplete and found an online article or website with more information, I would add relevant information and site it. Ladydragonwolf-69 (talk) 19:05, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Has anyone here ever heard of a proxy called Tor? I was wondering if it is legak or illegal? Ladydragonwolf-69 (talk) 22:59, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

I meant legal, not legak. Ladydragonwolf-69 (talk) 23:00, 19 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Editing through Tor, or indeed any proxy, is not accepted here except under certain specified geographical conditions.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 10:07, 22 March 2017 (UTC)


 * About your question regarding a Bigfoot statue: such a photo would not be OK because United States do not have freedom of panorama for statues (but some other nations do). You would still need a permission from the author of the statue (unless the author has been dead for a long time, in which case the statue is in WP:public domain). Regarding Tor, Wikipedia does not allow using WP:Open proxies and you would not be able to edit if you use one.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  21:27, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
