Replaceable fair use Image:JonKnoxPromo.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:JonKnoxPromo.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. 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 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Stifle (talk) 10:02, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:JonKnoxPromo.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:JonKnoxPromo.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. Stifle (talk) 10:03, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (File:JonKnoxLive.jpg)
 Thanks for uploading File:JonKnoxLive.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. FileBot (talk) 00:33, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Walter Görlitz. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Jon Knox, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. While you're reading about reliable sources, read WP:WEASEL and WP:PEACOCK. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:50, 16 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Due to false reporting. Working with artist in question to correct false reported issues. Everything entered is legit and based on factual research. Thanks and God Bless! nikikin (talk)
 * Thanks for leaving this at my talk page, I'm moving this here to keep the discussion together.
 * On Wikipedia, we don't address "false reporting" by adding more information without sources, we combat it be removing the material without sources or at least marking it as dubious, in one of several ways, and then addressing the problems with reliable sources. What you were doing was removing those sorts of attempts and adding material without sources. At least in today's efforts, you added sources. That's an improvement. However adding primary sources is only a mild improvement. Adding tangential material, for instance about Gene Eugene's death in an article about Jon Knox, does not improve the article. To continue that example, if we want to know about Gene Eugene, we would expect to read about it the article about him. So I see that an anonymous editor has "tagged" the article with necessary improvement requests. If you can help with that, it would be great. If you revert that editor's work, you'll be on very thin ice.
 * The other article has similar problems. I'll look at that now.
 * I'm about to place a welcome on your talk page. It will have many links on how to edit in a cooperative way. This includes learning guidelines, manuals of style and other items. Please read it and learn how to edit rather than fight with other editors. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:03, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

Please stop continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Audio Adrenaline, without resolving the problem that the template refers to. This may be considered disruptive editing. Further edits of this type may result in your account being blocked from editing. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:22, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove the maintenance templates from Wikipedia articles without resolving the problem that the template refers to, as you did at Jon Knox. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:33, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
