Deepak Chopra
Deepak Chopra is not an authoritative figure in the field of marine biology, and any facile quotes he has made do not belong in Wikipedia articles. Continuing to add such nonsense is likely to be considered disruptive. --Stemonitis (talk) 05:05, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Sangihe Plate
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Sangihe Plate, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.globalwarmingart.com/wiki/Wikipedia:Halmahera_Plate.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 19:48, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Army of Occupation (Mexico)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Army of Occupation (Mexico), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Army of Occupation. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 02:46, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

FYI
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Army of Occupation a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:34, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Your picture of the Colorado river
This picture seems to appear on the web in a lot of places: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ColoradoRiverAtSanLuis.jpg Since most of them quote the Wikipedia caption verbatim, I guess they are mostly getting it from Wikipedia. I am trying to reconcile this picture with what I see on Google Maps. It doesn't help that I can't seem to find the San Luis Colorado-Colonia Miguel Aléman Bridge. Is this the location where you took to photo? 32.705402,-114.728889 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pciszek (talk • contribs) 21:45, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

This is not a river; it's a road in a desert. See river and then compare it to road. They are quite dissimilar.

Replying about the bridge, don't know how reply works
You write: ''The San Luis Rio Colorado-Colonia Miguel Aléman Bridge is a toll bridge that connects San Luis Colorado in Sonora with Colonia Miguel Aléman in Baja California Norte along the mainline of the Carretera Federal 2 (MX 2). The actual bridge is at 32º29'42.37"N 114º50'08.19"W.''

So, the location of the photo is not on the national border? The caption of the photo, "Colorado River as it exits the United States into Mexico beneath the San Luis Colorado-Colonia Miguel Aléman Bridge", seemed to imply that the picture was taken on the US/Mexico border. People have been using the picture to imply that the Colorado River doesn't make it into Mexico from the US. What I think I see on Google Maps is the diversion dam on the border, which diverts the river from its original course to a different course within Mexico. Is the reason there is no water in your picture that the river has been moved elsewhere, or that the river has ceased to exist before it gets to the US/Mexico border?

License tagging for File:William Alexander & Dr. Leo Buscaglia 1984.png
Thanks for uploading File:William Alexander & Dr. Leo Buscaglia 1984.png. 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) 22:05, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages
Thank you for your recent articles, including Eugen Iskritsky, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 13:04, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Cotton Belt Rail Line Map.gif
Thanks for uploading File:Cotton Belt Rail Line Map.gif. 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. – Train2104 (t • c) 02:21, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

File source problem with File:KihansiDam.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:KihansiDam.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, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

File permission problem with File:DwightBoykinsD-12.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:DwightBoykinsD-12.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for 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 in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

That was 100% my image. I am the owner. I release my imaged under the CCL. This was a super nervy deletion. scooteristi (talk) 01:54, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi. It's been 3 years so I cannot remember why I tagged the photo. I probably tagged because it says " taken by John Stafford " with no clear statement that you are John Stafford, and nothing I could find on your user page; thus I likely determined this was not self-photographed. I may have missed the part of your userpage where you identify yourself as the owner of demsign.com.
 * Can you confirm you are John Stafford? If so I will certainly undelete. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 02:22, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Go to Facebook dot com slash scooteristi (or LinkedIn or Yahoo or Reddit or any other service, except Twitter, I’m @DemSign there). I use the same user handle, almost, everywhere.scooteristi (talk) 21:26, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

February 2023
Hello, I'm Bagumba. Your recent edit to the page Kevin Durant appears to have added premature information about a reported sports transaction, so it has been removed for now. The transaction is based on anonymous sources and/or awaiting an official announcement. If you believe the transaction has been completed, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —Bagumba (talk) 17:40, 9 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Wait, NBA.com is an unreliable source for NBA news? Are you serious? scooteristi (talk) 05:34, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Ty Warner into Ty. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 23:25, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
