User talk:SarahNicoleTaylor

October 2012
Hello. There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Amp71 (talk) 01:19, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for abusing multiple accounts, as you did at Ditylenchus dipsaci. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

 * Are you, SarahNC, and SarahNicoleTaylor-3 the same person? T. Canens (talk) 06:18, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Can you please clarify the following? Are you saying that the three accounts actually belong to different people? If so, all using usernames based on "Sarah Nicole Taylor" is highly misleading, as it gives the impression that you are all the same person. If Sarah Nicole Taylor is a real person and you are someone else, then you must not continue to edit using that name, as it infringes Wikipedia's WP:User name policy, which says "Do not edit under a name that is likely to imply that you are ... a specific, identifiable person, unless it is your real name." Even if the name "Sarah Nicole Taylor" is fictitious, the usernames fall foul of that policy, because usernames that are very similar to existing ones are unacceptable because of the risk of being misleading. If you are three different people, then make that fact clear, and suggest a new username that you are willing to use. You may then be unblocked to allow you to submit a request to have your username changed. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:57, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * We are three individual college students who are working together to improve this page. We all contributed edits to the page and therefore had three different accounts (SarahNicoleTaylor, SarahNC, SarahNicoleTaylor-3) that we could access simultaneously. The user names are similar to make things easier for us.  I repeat, every edit we made was with good intentions and we are only on this website to improve the information on this plant pathogen.  Can we change our username please? We would like to change the name to SNTUW-Mad.

To be really clear -- each of you must use a different account name; two people can't use the same account. Nobody Ent 16:01, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi. The easiest way to request a username change is through WP:CHU. Hope this helps, Mdann52 (talk) 14:57, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Greetings
You and your classmates seem to have fallen into the labyrinth that is Wikipedia bureaucracy. Unfortunately, for the most part, this bureaucracy is a necessary evil; very often, situations such as yours actually do arise because of sockpuppetry and vandalism, so Wikipedia tries to act quickly to put a stop to it. Sometimes, though, mistakes are made. It is far from a perfect system, but perhaps you can understand the reason things played out the way they did. Like you and your classmates, the admins here have the best of intentions, and I hope this incident does not discourage your professor from pursuing this worthwhile assignment in the future. Good luck with your work.  Chickenmonkey  23:10, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Symptoms of D. Dipsaci.jpeg
Thank you for uploading File:Symptoms of D. Dipsaci.jpeg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is [ a list of your uploads].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Eeekster (talk) 04:43, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:The morphology of D. Dipsaci.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:The morphology of D. Dipsaci.jpeg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:05, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:This picture shows the symptoms of D. Dipsaci.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:This picture shows the symptoms of D. Dipsaci.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

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. Eeekster (talk) 02:18, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
