Image copyright problem with Image:Cincinnati 1880.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Cincinnati 1880.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 14:37, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Cincinnati
Three things:
 * When you're signing a page, please type ~ ; your signature on the Cincinnati talk page links to a nonexistent user and nonexistent user talk page.
 * May I make all your comments on the Cincinnati talk page into a single section? It's harder to read as it is.
 * I'm going to reply to your comment on the Cincinnati talk page. Nyttend 15:28, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

You should discuss changes before you make them. You took out the bulk of the article. The parts you took out were the needed parts. Cincinnati is not Boston (citing something you said above) so they shouldn't have identical pages.--Cincydude55 18:57, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:FountainSquarepicture.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:FountainSquarepicture.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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Fountain-square.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Fountain-square.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 15:38, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Cincinnati, Ohio
Hi, I just noticed the discussion you had with some other editors over your changes to the Cincinnati, Ohio article. One thing you could try is to create a draft version of your changes at User:Meckstroth.jm/Cincinnati, Ohio. That's in your user space, and you're free to tinker with that page. This way you can solicit opinions before making merging it with the main copy. I've attempted to reduce some of the duplication in the article, but I've kept the population bar chart, because I think it helps the reader comprehend the city's population trends better than the table to the right. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 22:49, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

You reverted my edit to this article. My edit removed a link to a deleted image. Your reversion restored the empty image reference to the article. This does not help the article since readers can not see the image. DO NOT do this again. It serves no useful purpose. Rklawton (talk) 15:02, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Fair Use Rationales
Please stop uploading images without fair use rationales. You've been informed about this enough - they're tremendously important. If you continue to persist in this manner, I may have to take preventative action. Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 16:29, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Stop reverting Marty Brennaman page with no explanation
Why do you keep reverting my edits? My edits aren't vandalism and things like resizing the image and adding stuff on his family is not bad! All you are doing is reverting the page back to the way it was two days ago! Why do you keeping reverting me?!--Cincydude55 (talk) 06:32, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Cool down! First off, my changes aren't major. Plus, I do not need to tell you what I plan to do! Whoever told you changes must be discussed first is wrong. Reverting all my changes is actually more major that what I am doing to tell you the truth. So please just cool down--Cincydude55 (talk) 16:07, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Cool Down!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you keep yelling and reverting all my edits I will have to talk with an administrator. Plus, you can’t protect pages without an administrator’s ok! So quit harassing me!–Cincydude55 (talk) 22:45, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Three major things. First, please sign your comments. It is annoying for people to have to search the history tab just to find out who it was. Second, protection on pages only works if you get an administrator to do it. So in other words all you are doing is putting a sign up. Don't believe me? Than how are both of us able to edit the Marty Brennaman page? Finally, what is the deal with you and this page. All I did was resize the image and added info on his family. How is that wrong? Please answer these questions and stop putting "Stop!" all over my talk page. That is harassment and qualifies for a block under Wikipedia's guidelines. Thank You!--Cincydude55 (talk) 21:05, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Marty brennaman 2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Marty brennaman 2.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media 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 media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. 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 the fair use 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 fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of descrption pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 01:59, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Explain
I can maybe (maybe) understand you wanting me not to to change anything on the Marty Brennaman page. But, the fact is if not me someone else will change it in some way and what will yo do then? This is Wikipedia a place where anyone can edit. This isn't your own website!--Cincydude55 (talk) 02:13, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:235647213 58b30f0ff2 m.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 15:05, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 16:11, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Queencitysquare-1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Queencitysquare-1.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media 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 media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. 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 the fair use 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 fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use 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, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 14:51, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:17 nuxhall 190 2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:17 nuxhall 190 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, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:11, 30 December 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 17:11, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Header_01.gif
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Header_01.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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. Rettetast (talk) 19:21, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Editing Cincinnati, Ohio article
Why do you so actively insist on the specific wording in this artcle that you have restored several times (without explanation or discussion) to "Many historic events and firsts are associated with the city, including the Cincinnati Reds ..."? What is listed is 1 ) not "many " items and many of them are not "first" but notable ecents of some sort. The goal here is to improve the article.  Can't you participate in that by allowing modification in such things?  Pzavon (talk) 01:39, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Nick drake.PNG)
Thanks for uploading Image:Nick drake.PNG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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.

Cincinnati, Ohio
The current Reds team dates from 1882. Read your history, and don't make baseless accusations of vandalism. The famous Red Stockings disbanded after 1870. Their best players started up a new team, the Boston Red Stockings. A new Reds team started in the National League in 1876 and was dropped after 1880. Yet another new team started in the American Association (19th century) in 1882, transferring to the NL in 1890, and that's where the current Reds team dates from. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 16:45, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The team's history on MLB.com conveniently leaves those facts out. You need to do some more study beyond what a marketing website posts on their history page. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 17:06, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * As User talk:Pzavon discovered, the MLB.com site contradicts itself. To get a fuller picture, please read the citations I've posted (and which follow here), so that you'll understand the history of Cincinnati baseball better. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 05:48, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The problem with your new wording is that it still implies the current Reds are the lineal descendant of the 1860s team. I'll try some more. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 21:15, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * You can't say "is home" to the first professional team, because the 1869 team doesn't exist anymore. Also, there was no such thing as Major League Baseball, as such, in 1869. But it's correct to say that Cincinnati was the home city of the first professional team. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 22:16, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * In your note to me you said "was" home to the first pro team, which is accurate. But you're still saying "is" in the article, which is not accurate, because that team doesn't exist anymore. It's like saying Chicago is home to the 1893 Columbian Exposition. It was, but it isn't any longer. Chicago still exists, but the Exposition doesn't. Cincinnati still exists, but the 1869 team disbanded. Also, the current Reds were not the first MLB team. MLB considers its records to begin with the National League in 1876. Of the 8 teams in that league, only 2 still exist, the Cubs and the Braves. There was a Cincinnati Reds team in that league, but they don't exist anymore, either. The current Reds date from 1882. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 00:09, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Another user suggested that this entire discussion should be on Talk:Cincinnati, Ohio. If you want, I can move the above segment to that page and you won't have to look at it here anymore. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 13:27, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Cincinnati
Never said it belonged to me. In a way you are being hypocritical. If you can revert what I put, why is it wrong if I do the same to you. Now I am not saying I want to get into an edit war but I don't to think just because you make an edit means I can't change a word you say. You can "edit" not revert (unless it is real vandalism) anything anyone else says (as long as it is not meant to stop another from editing) so why I am I forced to be reverted by you. Now look if you think a picture looks better and others (like me and a few others) disagree use the article's talk page to discuss it. Do not just revert at will.--Cincydude55 (talk) 20:48, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I never said you said the page belonged to you. What I said was that every time I make an edit you counter it. Now I agree at times it seems I am doing the same but why do you feel when I do it I am taking ownership of the page but when you do it you are just editing?--Cincydude55 (talk) 21:32, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

First, off that was about something completely different. I am referring to now. You just said I said it now. If you want to talk about the past lets talk about it. What I meant than was when you reverted Baseball Bugs edits (which weren't vandalism by the way) for nor no apparent reason.--Cincydude55 (talk) 21:42, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

What? What you said makes no sense.--Cincydude55 (talk) 21:51, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Okay. I think I may have got the gist of what you are saying. Are you saying that if I revert what you put I am also a hypocrite? First off you said the first part way before I said you were a hypocrite. Secondly I acknowledged (if you really read it) I may sometimes revert what you put and I said I try not to. But, you revert anything I do and give no reason as to why. I am not saying I am in the right always but you aren't right etheir in reverting everything I do.--Cincydude55 (talk) 21:59, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I never said what you put is nonsense. What I said was if you think me reverting you is wrong isn't you reverting me wrong to?--Cincydude55 (talk) 22:10, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

My point was we are both wrong. Not just me.--Cincydude55 (talk) 22:20, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Header logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Header logo.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 remove the tag.

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.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Header logo.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Header logo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. George Ho (talk) 10:46, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
