Copyvio
Mikemaniax, please note that you cannot include a whole All Music Guide article into a Wikipedia article, as you did for Ace (album), even if you credit the source, as you did. It's still a copyright violation. You have to rewrite the material into your own words. Wasted Time R 12:18, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Bob Weir-Ace.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Bob Weir-Ace.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 15:05, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Song articles
Mikemaniax, please note that articles on individual songs are generally not necessary, unless the song is especially notable or there is a lot to say about it. So, for example, the article you created on Black-Throated Wind says absolutely nothing that the Ace (album) article didn't already say, and thus doesn't need to exist. Examples of song articles that are justified include, say, Box of Rain or Dark Star (song). Wasted Time R 15:19, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging for Image:Bob Weir.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Bob Weir.JPG. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Mikemaniax! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created  are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the list:
