License tagging for Image:A-mackaye.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:A-mackaye.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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. 20:04, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: Sahara on 2 August 2006
Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. --  Donald Albury ( Talk )  21:01, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Scholastic Deth
Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia by creating the page Scholastic Deth. Your test worked, and has been or will soon be removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. See WP:MUSIC. NawlinWiki 15:15, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Scholastic Deth. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Again, please look at WP:MUSIC to see why the band does not meet the criteria for having an article on Wikipedia. Thanks, NawlinWiki 15:46, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

You have been temporarily blocked from editing for vandalism of Wikipedia. Please note that page blanking, addition of random text or spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, and other deliberate attempts to disrupt Wikipedia are considered vandalism. If you wish to make useful contributions, you may come back after the block expires. The block is for repeatedly recreating a deleted article and ignoring the advice above. NawlinWiki 15:58, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Per our email exchange, I am unblocking you. Again, don't recreate Scholastic Deth unless you can show that it meets the standards of WP:MUSIC, or you will get reblocked. NawlinWiki 18:16, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Genetic Angry
Please don't risk repeating your previous experience. If you can back up the creation of these articles, please do so promptly on the talk pages, or they will be deleted. Deb 16:16, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Iggy.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Iggy.jpg. 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. When you use a generic fair use tag such as or , 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.

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 fair use images 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. Oden 09:00, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Image:Iggy.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Iggy.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image 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 image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image 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 image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image 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 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Oden 09:00, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

"Metal" Mike Saunders
Do you have any idea how I could contact him for an interview? His name came up during an interview about the author James Robert Baker, and I have some questions I'd like to ask him. Thanks, Jeffpw 12:57, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Negative Nick! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:
