January 2011
Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:AIDS denialism are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. - 2/0 (cont.) 06:05, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Please do not use talk pages such as AIDS denialism for general discussion of the topic. They are for discussion related to improving the article. They are not to be used as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See here for more information. Thank you.

talk page
FYI, I sent this to most of the recent contributors to AIDS denialism: Just to let you know: I plan to remove clear talk page violations from the AIDS denialism page. After being away from Wikipedia since August, I'm amazed that certain denialist agenda editors continue to waste so much of your (and everyone's) valuable time with fruitless debate. Please object and discuss if you disagree with my position, but I strongly oppose the abuse of Wikipedia as a publicity tool for extreme fringe ideas and feel that a hard line on violations is warranted.

Denying AIDS
Read Denying AIDS. You will find most of your substantive questions answered in that book. It represents the mainstream opinion that should be adopted on wikipedia's page on AIDS denialism. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/complex 02:15, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, I've added two links to your most recent post on talk:AIDS denialism. If you review the linked articles, you will find why your edits aren't going to get much traction. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/complex 02:46, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * The relevant policies for AIDS denialism are:


 * WP:RS
 * WP:MEDRS
 * WP:NPOV
 * WP:FRINGE
 * WP:REDFLAG
 * WP:V
 * WP:SOAP
 * Read them, and realize that AIDS denialism presents the position the page will adopt. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/complex 22:30, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

WP:BLP
Welcome to Wikipedia. Please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that biographical information about living persons must not include unsupported or inaccurate statements. Whenever you add possibly controversial statements about a living person to an article or any other Wikipedia page, as you did to Talk:AIDS denialism, you must include proper sources. If you don't know how to cite a source, you may want to read Referencing for beginners for guidelines. Thank you. Keepcalmandcarryon (talk) 16:46, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Maxwell's
I reverted you again. Per WP:BRD, you were bold, I reverted, next we should be on Talk:Maxwell's equations where you can explain why you're adding unsourced interpretations. Dicklyon (talk) 05:30, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Only because I believe we should explain what's the merit of Maxwell to the common people, because a "FAQ" in many places is "what's the merit of Maxwell in all this" ... I'll try to find a websource later...

Disruptive use of talk page
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use talk pages for inappropriate discussion, as you did at AIDS denialism, you may be blocked from editing. Keepcalmandcarryon (talk) 17:27, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

May 2011
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on AIDS denialism. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively. In particular, the three-revert rule states that: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Orange Marlin  Talk• Contributions 18:59, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Image tagging for File:Stefan Lanka phD.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Stefan Lanka phD.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 07:05, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Pseudoscience discretionary sanctions
Please read and familiarize yourself with this remedy that the Arbitration Committee passed some years ago. NW ( Talk ) 03:17, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
 * You clearly are not understanding our sourcing and other requirements for articles, especially in the pseudoscience topic area. Accordingly, I am banning you from all pages in the topic area, broadly construed, (this includes AIDS denialism) pursuant to the terms of the abovelinked decision. NW ( Talk ) 05:13, 4 July 2011 (UTC)


 * That's fine for me, oh, allmighty wiki administrator. I have to go now, biotechnology companies are quite liberal ones, but they don't like their engineers to get late to work. By the way, this kind of despotic and biased behavior is what's destroying Wiki's public image. At least in Europe... Greetings from Edinburgh.Milikguay (talk) 05:51, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

July 2011
To enforce an arbitration decision, you have been blocked from editing for a period of 12 hours for violating your topic ban on the page Etienne de Harven. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing arbitration enforcement blocks and follow the instructions there to appeal your block. NW ( Talk ) 06:11, 4 July 2011 (UTC) Notice to administrators: In a March 2010 decision, the Committee held that "Administrators are prohibited from reversing or overturning (explicitly or in substance) any action taken by another administrator pursuant to the terms of an active arbitration remedy, and explicitly noted as being taken to enforce said remedy, except: (a) with the written authorization of the Committee, or (b) following a clear, substantial, and active consensus of uninvolved editors at a community discussion noticeboard (such as WP:AN or WP:ANI). If consensus in such discussions is hard to judge or unclear, the parties should submit a request for clarification on the proper page. Any administrator that overturns an enforcement action outside of these circumstances shall be subject to appropriate sanctions, up to and including desysopping, at the discretion of the Committee."

You know what else hurts Wikipedia's image? When people use wordpress blogs to claim that someone supports AIDS denialism. It might not be as bad as randomly accusing people of murder, but it's still a pretty clear violation of WP:BLP. NW ( Talk ) 06:11, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

WP:AN/I notice
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. MastCell Talk 23:06, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Blocked for 1 week for disruptive editing
The repeated warnings above and complaints on multiple article talk pages indicate that you are attempting to use Wikipedia to advance and advocacy agenda, a violation of WP:SOAP policy, and do not intend to stop doing so. This is not OK.

You have been warned repeatedly and your response to pushbacks and warnings was to threaten someone with a legal threat (the claims of defamation in the edit summary here.

This all is not OK. You are blocked from editing for one week.

Please consider this as an extended final warning that you're not editing Wikipedia in an acceptable manner and that continuing this will likely result in an indefinite block.

Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 01:23, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Warning about your edits to AIDS denial-related articles
Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. This is especially critical when dealing with Biographical articles of Living Persons; Biographical material must be written with the greatest care and attention to verifiability, neutrality and avoiding original research. Due to the contentious nature of, contributions such as the one you made fall under a Special enforcement ruling on biographies of living persons.

Accordingly, you are requested and required to discuss contentious edits such as this one on the article's talk page This notice is your official warning that further edits which add non-neutral, libelous, or inadequately sourced information to a biography of a living person may result in your being blocked from editing without further warning. Thank you.

Non-free rationale for File:Infectioncover.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Infectioncover.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:36, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Live in Japan (Deep Purple album), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Made in Japan (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:47, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Deep purple certifications
Back in December you have added album certifications to multiple Deep Purple album articles, most of which were unsourced. Please note that I am not claiming any of them is not correct, but I just can't verify that without sources, so I removed the ones which did not have a reliable source. Feel free to restore them with proper sources, but please don't restore them without ones. Best regards and happy editing --Muhandes (talk) 01:13, 12 February 2012 (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.

Orphaned non-free image File:Infectioncover.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Infectioncover.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 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:22, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:De HarvenMD.gif
Thanks for uploading File:De HarvenMD.gif. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ✗ plicit  14:43, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
