License tagging for Image:BillWirtz 460px.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:BillWirtz 460px.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Image uploads
Hi there, it's cool that you want to help out by providing images but we need you to include more information with these image uploads or else they will end up bring deleted. At the very least, you should add where the image was obtained from and copyright information.

Wikipedia strongly prefers free images. Not free as in no cost, but free as in libre copyright. Public domain photos, photos that have been released under GFDL licenses, etc. In certain cases, fair use images can be used if they are necessary to help understand the text in the article, but usually they're not allowed in infoboxes. So, the pictures of Howard Cosell and Bill Wirtz, even if you had provided the necessary source and copyright information on the image page, would probably not work. Since they're both deceased it's kind of a gray area with some people though.

If you'd like a better explanation of these complicated image rules, have a look through those links that come up when you try to upload an image. The Parsnip! 20:58, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:HWStatue.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:HWStatue.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely 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. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please 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.

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 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 ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:24, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

February 2018
Your recent editing history at Once Upon a Time (TV series) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. --  Alex TW 02:35, 26 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Multiple editors have reverted you. Perhaps that's a hint to discuss it on the talk page? --  Alex TW 02:37, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Time won't fix it. Still stands. --  Alex TW 04:20, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

March 2018
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Once Upon a Time (TV series). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. --  Alex TW 09:15, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

May 2018
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can 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 you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. --  Alex TW 22:26, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

July 2018
Please do not attack other editors, as you did at User talk:AlexTheWhovian‎. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. --  Alex TW 22:56, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

March 2020
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for persistently making disruptive edits. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  00:10, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

 Your ability to edit this talk page has been revoked as an administrator has identified your talk page edits as inappropriate and/or disruptive. ([ block log] • [ active blocks] • [ global blocks] • [//tools.wmflabs.org/xtools/autoblock/?user=&project=en.wikipedia.org autoblocks] • contribs • deleted contribs • [ abuse filter log] • [ creation log] • change block settings • [ unblock] • [ checkuser] ([ log]) )

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should read the guide to appealing blocks, then contact administrators by submitting a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System. If the block is a CheckUser or Oversight block, was made by the Arbitration Committee or to enforce an arbitration decision (arbitration enforcement), or is unsuitable for public discussion, you should appeal to the Arbitration Committee. Please note that there could be appeals to the unblock ticket request system that have been declined leading to the post of this notice.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  00:21, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I have revoked your talk page access due to persistent personal attacks. Please understand that Wikipedia is a collaborative environment and we are all trying our best here. There have been multiple discussions about the Chiefs' championship information for the NFL infobox, including at Talk:National Football League and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Football League. When a consensus is established, it is expected that anyone with dissenting opinions discuss on talk pages. Making personal attacks and escalating the situation benefits no one and makes it harder to work constructively. If this behavior continues after your block expires, expect a much longer block.

File permission problem with File:Richard Pryor statue in Peoria, Illinois, June 2018.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Richard Pryor statue in Peoria, Illinois, June 2018.jpg, which you've attributed to )photograph is WP:DERIVATIVE of Pryor statue. a post-1989 U.S. work by still-living Preston Jackson, without license from Jackson; see Commons:Commons:FOP United States). 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.
