License tagging for File:Amiga-90sLogo.gif
Thanks for uploading File:Amiga-90sLogo.gif. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 18:05, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to IBM PC compatible has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Your edits to Super Nintendo Entertainment System
Hello. Here at Wikipedia, we have a thing called the BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. In short, this means that we encourage people to be bold in making edits, but if someone disagrees and reverts those edits then the correct course of action is to begin a discussion, not to continue to revert back and forth. I have started a discussion about your edit at Talk:SNES, let's try to reach a consensus. Thanks. Anomie⚔ 21:07, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment.

As noted here: ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 14:29, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Pantergraph, on talk pages, it is necessary to see who has made what comment, hence contributors are requested to sign. Everyone forgets to sign from time to time. The community accepts this, that's why we have the bots (which are not perfect, and don't sign every unsigned contribution). Deliberately refusing to sign however may be considered disruptive behaviour, as it may appear that you are trying to conceal your ownership of comments on discussion pages. Please get into the habit of signing texts. Thanks for your co-operation. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 14:39, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

You might consider going back to your recent posts to talk pages (click here to see the list) and add your signature to your posts. You most recent 14 such posts (I didn't look further) all lack your signature. JoeSperrazza (talk) 15:23, 30 December 2010 (UTC)


 * no it isn't necessary to know who made what comment, the content stands on its own; that's the very point of a site like this.
 * if the bot is broken it should be fixed.
 * not signing edits is a very bad way of concealing authorship, since it's recorded in the edit history.
 * i don't "own" my comments, that's childish.
 * it's probably a good idea to spend some of the fundraising money on buying the pedia.org domain since this site has nothing in common with a wiki and has become more like a freeform forum site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pantergraph (talk • contribs)


 * You should know that not signing talk page posts is taken as disruptive here and you can be blocked from editing for that. It's an utter waste of volunteer time to make editors look at the page history to learn who made a given post (and when). See also WP:Point. Please sign your posts with four tildes.

Edit warring
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Alternative rock. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful, then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. 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 edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Please don't just redo your removal of maintenance tags. You were asked to explain - please do so, either on the talk page of the article in question, or on your own talk page, or ... (there's lots of choices - except silently redoing your change). JoeSperrazza (talk) 00:10, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Removal of tags
Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Alternative rock, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. JoeSperrazza (talk) 00:09, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Global Village (telecommunications)


A tag has been placed on Global Village (telecommunications) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. E. Fokker (talk) 22:57, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Global Village (telecommunications), a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. E. Fokker (talk) 23:08, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Global Village (telecommunications)


The article Global Village (telecommunications) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No evidence of notability

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. E. Fokker (talk) 01:35, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Computer icon move
When a requested move discussion is closed stating "no consensus to move", it's not usually a good idea to immediately make that move anyway. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 15:48, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Correct use of "since" (as in Parallel ATA lede)
If you're going to "copyedit" you should be aware of correct usage. Please see, for example, this page. In all relevant examples, "since" is relative to a specific event or date. Not to a vague period of time like "for many years."

This particular usage of yours is not bad enough to be worth a talk page discussion, so I am dropping it... but I might think of a wording that avoids the issue. Jeh (talk) 06:30, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours for move warring on Computer icon. Once the block has expired, you're 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. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 15:41, 25 January 2011 (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.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Amiga-90sLogo.gif
Thank you for uploading File:Amiga-90sLogo.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 12:40, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Macintosh-centris-660av.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Macintosh-centris-660av.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. ViperSnake151  Talk  18:19, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Macintosh-centris-660av.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Macintosh-centris-660av.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) 03:35, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
