Better source request for File:Blazer (Kavinsky EP).jpg
Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia: You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

Thanks for uploading File:Blazer (Kavinsky EP).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) 18:30, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi Rcunderw! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at Zooey Zephyr that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. Lizthegrey (talk) 04:56, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Zooey Zephyr. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. --Pokelova (talk) 05:41, 4 May 2023 (UTC)


 * @Pokelova vandalism for including a birth name in an article to provide more accurate and factual information? yikes. Rcunderw (talk) 05:57, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @Pokelova after some more digging, im guessing you and @SamX are acting based on MOS:DEADNAME ? Please don't accuse good-faith contributors of vandalism before bringing novice editors such as myself to task. Rcunderw (talk) 06:12, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
 * When someone apparently acting in good faith reverts what you believed was a good-faith edit, your next step is to go to the talk page, open a section, and ping the other editor to explain. This is particularly important at contentious topics, which I'm sure you can understand Zooey Zephyr is, and even more so when it's a WP:BLP, which Zephyr obviously is.
 * In addition, you apparently added this information without a source. Never add content to a BLP without a reliable source, much less with no source at all. And you marked it as minor, which almost strains credulity. Our BLP policies are among those most strictly enforced, and ignorance of those policies isn't generally accepted as an excuse.

 * @Valereee thank you for taking the time to explain the reasoning to less experienced editors like me. now I know the expectations and protocol. Rcunderw (talk) 15:04, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
