Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you.

This was initated by User:AnkhMorpork regarding content of the Rachel Corrie page.--Mystichumwipe (talk) 11:50, 17 September 2012 (UTC) 
 * : While these edits are reverts and do have intervening edits, those edits are not substantial content edits. There are three edits by  doing small formatting fixes that do not affect article content, and one edit from a bot restoring an orphaned ref.  The edit warring policy states that "a series of consecutive saved revert edits by one user with no intervening edits by another user counts as one revert" and while there are intervening edits in this case, they are not content-related and are so minor and that I'm inclined to treat Mystichumwipe's edits as one single revert.  I believe this is in line with the intended spirit of the edit warring policy, which is designed to stop a back-and-forth revert war over content.  That's not what I see here.  --Chris (talk) 15:23, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Mention of you on a user talk page
I thought it a courtesy to let you know that questions have been raised about your editing on my talk page, in the section Advice please. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:10, 14 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I have replied on your talkpage.--Mystichumwipe (talk) 08:32, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Formatted
Hello Mystichumwipe. I made some changes to improve the formatting of your 3RR report. Please check to see if I made any mistakes, or undo my change if you disagree. (There were some redlinks and some URLs presented that were not in the usual diff brackets). Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 15:35, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Cheers m'dear. :-) I've checked and added a few links. But the main thing is that I see now how it should have been done. So... Thanks. I appreciate your help. --Mystichumwipe (talk) 05:56, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Denis Avey
I will be away from the computer from about 12.00 to 23.00 GMT. Wikiwatcher1's block expires a few hours before I return. Would you please state you opinion on my changes on the talk page as soon as possible and preferably before he returns. I will open a new section there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sceptic1954 (talk • contribs) 09:06, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

added a note re Sam Pivnik and his changing position re Avey on Pivnik's talk page. It may be reverted but you can find it. I think it may interest you Sceptic1954 (talk) 17:14, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

You have e-mail Jim1138 (talk) 08:37, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

I'm told by the Imperial War Museum that the full tape of Avey's interview with Lyn Smith from 2001 is now back online. I haven't tested it out http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/80020527 If it works I will want to add links to the tape in the article. Sceptic1954 (talk) 17:10, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Carin Göring a.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Carin Göring a.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, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Dianna (talk) 00:47, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Copyright concerns
Hi, Mystichumwipe. I have noticed problems on a couple of articles (Aafia Siddiqui, Chinmayananda Saraswati) where you have lifted material from sources with little or no paraphrasing. That's a problem, because the source material is copyright, and if you copy it directly or without rephrasing it, Wikipedia is in violation of copyright law. Wikipedia takes copyright concerns quite seriously. Please take the time to read up on copyright concerns, as this is a vital Wikipedia policy with legal ramifications. Thank you. -- Dianna (talk) 01:14, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Sheikh july2009.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Sheikh july2009.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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:18, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Possibly unfree File:Abe on the net.jpg
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Abe on the net.jpg, has been listed at Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 15:26, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Notice of Dispute resolution discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute in which you may have been involved. Content disputes can hold up article development, therefore we are requesting your participation to help find a resolution. The thread is "Adolph Hitler". {| style="border: 0; width: 100%;"
 * style="width: 50%; vertical-align: top;" |
 * style="width: 50%; vertical-align: top;" |

If you wish to open a DR/N filing, click the "Request dispute resolution" button below this guide or go to Dispute resolution noticeboard/request for an easy to follow, step by step request form.

What this noticeboard is:


 * It is an early step to resolve content disputes after talk page discussions have stalled. If it's something we can't help you with, or is too complex to resolve here, our volunteers will point you in the right direction.

What this noticeboard is not:


 * It is not a place to deal with the behavior of other editors. We deal with disputes about article content, not disputes about user conduct.
 * It is not a place to discuss disputes that are already under discussion at other dispute resolution forums.
 * It is not a substitute for the talk pages: the dispute must have been discussed extensively on a talk page (not just through edit summaries) before resorting to DRN.
 * It is not a court with judges or arbitrators that issue binding decisions: we focus on resolving disputes through consensus, compromise, and explanation of policy.

Things to remember:


 * Discussions should be civil, calm, concise, neutral, and objective. Comment only about the article's content, not the other editors.   Participants who go off-topic or become uncivil may be asked to leave the discussion.
 * Let the other editors know about the discussion by posting {{subst:drn-notice}} on their user talk page.
 * Sign and date your posts with four tildes " ".
 * If you ever need any help, ask one of our volunteers, who will help you as best as they can. You may also wish to read through the FAQ page located here and on the DR/N talkpage.

Please take a moment to review the simple guide and join the discussion. Thank you! --Guy Macon (talk) 11:24, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

More effective
In my opinion, your latest comment ("Opening comments by Britmax...") was more effective than some of your previous comments by virtue of being concise and making one point.

(And to anyone reading this, no, I did not just comment on whether the argument itself was or was not good and or valid. The above is good advice for either side of the dispute; if you make a single point clearly and in few words, your argument is more effective than a wall of test is.) --Guy Macon (talk) 21:13, 11 March 2013 (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.

Problems with upload of File:Maharaj Charan Singh Ji.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Maharaj Charan Singh Ji.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. 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:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 12:05, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 3
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Charan Singh (guru), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sangat. 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.

Replaceable fair use File:Sheikh july2009.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Sheikh july2009.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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 the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Gordon Thomas (author) into Gideon's Spies. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:32, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits.

Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without evidence of permission, as you did at Edmond Bordeaux Szekely. Please take this opportunity to ensure that you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. Moneytrees🏝️Talk/CCI guide 21:07, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Although only one sentence was problematic, this and a previous warning suggest you still don't understand not to copy from sources. Aside from copyright issues, these edits 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 suggest you may have a point of view incompatible with the project. Moneytrees🏝️Talk/CCI guide 21:14, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

 * I would indeed concur with the statement that calling the Leuchter report, a pseudoscientific document by a guy who used to build electric chairs and now feels compelled to go around denying the Shoah, a "professional assessment and chemical analysis of the gas chambers" is not a viewpoint compatible with a fact-based encyclopaedia. The same goes for citing war criminals to imply that the victims of a massacre were actually combatants, removing a statement by a recognised authority on Holocaust Denial as "biased", or quoting a different war criminal, whose words are reprinted in a renowned far-right holocaust-denial publication for some more whitewashing. The policies you're infringing on there are WP:NPOV and WP:FRINGE, but perhaps more importantly, these edits are in conflict with the rather widely held view that denying or downplaying the Holocaust is repulsive and not what this project is for. --Blablubbs&#124;talk 09:59, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

None of that has anything to do with copyright, which is the reason given for my blocking. Wikipedia has rules for editing, none of which you have shown I have broken. Just picking a few contributions from many and expressing a negative opinion of them ironically is itself not in accordance with the principles of Wikipedia as I understand them. Is any administrator going to look at this blocking for copyright? Or is it not really about copyright? Mystichumwipe (talk) 10:27, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, the rationale given in the block log and in the block notice both give only copyright violation, whereas it is clear, as you must have been aware, from the comment given by in conjunction with the block notice that copyright was not, in fact the only reason, so I have adjusted the block log to reflect the wider range of reasons.
