user page
It is felt that the article you created at Sean Ripple is not suitable for a Wikipedia article, which must have a notable subject and be verifiable. I have moved it to User:, which is where users are free to write about themselves. You are at liberty to move it back into the (Main) namespace but bear in mind that if you do so, it is likely to be nominated for deletion.

Note, however, that the purpose of a user page is to enable active editors of Wikipedia to introduce themselves to other editors. Wikipedia is not a general hosting service, so your user page is not a personal homepage. Content unrelated to Wikipedia or its editing is likely to be removed.

Please see the user page guidelines, especially this section for more information.

And as for the article you created at Sean Trail - that was pure vandalism. -- RHaworth 01:05, 7 February 2006 (UTC)


 * The more I've thought about it, the more I realize that I should not have messed with the integrity of Wikipedia's function. Thanks for being kind. SRipple

Image Tagging Image:Bookends_Photo.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Bookends_Photo.jpg. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. -- Carnildo 16:05, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

I have tagged the photo and given credit. I hope I've done this correctly. SRipple

 * Thanks for taking the time to comment. You should be mindful that your article is essentially out of your hands if it's kept :) I've had no major complaints over mine, but I just know someone's gonna dig up the ugliest mugshot they can find someday ...


 * G'luck! 22:47, 8 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for making contact...I'm considering this an initiation process of sorts. It's fascinating and a bit scary to see...Quite a history you have recorded on your bio page...I'm just an art nerd...that's what I get for going around being an art nerd... SRipple

I did a little bit of improvement to the article about you, but I'm not gonna go too crazy until we see if it is kept or deleted. Something which would greatly increase the likelihood of that happening would be a reputable source that could be cited. What I mean by reputable is a newspaper, book or magazine article that could be cited, especially if it's archived electronically somewhere that could be linked to. A lot of wikipedians tend to be leary of articles that are verifiable only by websites. If you know of something that could be used, please drop it into the article. Best of luck.--&#91;&#91;User:Hraefen&#124;Hraefen- -&#91;&#91;User talk:Hraefen&#124;Talk]]]] 23:28, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

What should the citation of the reputable source indicate? The only site I can think of off the top that has mentioned my writings and artwork that I feel can be deemed reputable within this context is Pitchfork... here's the link to the story...

Does this help? SRipple
 * Yeah, this at least confirms that the two Seans are one and the same. I added it at the beginning of the page.  Now we'll have to sit back and let other Wikipedians decide your fate!!  I bet you're sweating.  Just kidding.... take it easy.--Hraefen 02:53, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

User:SRipple
I've added the "prod" template to your user page (User:SRipple), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy).

Please note that the purpose of a user page is not as personal homepage or Wikipedia is not a general hosting service, but as way for active editors of Wikipedia to introduce themselves to other editors. If you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues here or on my user talk page. You may remove the deletion notice, and the page will not be deleted for the moment, but note that it may still be sent to Miscellany for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Unspecified source for Image:Amanset1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Amanset1.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, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 08:59, 10 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 08:59, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
