Speedy deletion nomination of File:Entrance of VJA.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Entrance of VJA.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or  located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 00:00, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Cali Swag District, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. TheArguer SAY HI! 00:03, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

About that warning you recently got from me
Sorry, you weren't the one who I was intending to revert the edit of. It was that IP address who removed information from the Cali Swag District article who you were trying to revert the edit of that was intended to be the one I reverted the edit of. It seems as though we made reverts at the exact same time, and you came first. Huggle's supposed to stop a revert if somebody already reverted the edit that you're trying to revert (as you did), but it seems as though making a revert at the exact same time that someone else makes a revert can cause confusion.

Typo fixing on talk pages
I see that you've recently begun fixing typos in articles with AWB - excellent! But I noticed that you've also fixed typos on pages which probably should be left alone: User:Congolon, a user page; and several pages containing archived discussions such as Portal:Montreal/Discussions/English Names and Editor review/Danielaustinhall12. I think the guideline for talk pages applies to those pages too, even though they aren't in a "talk" namespace.

When I'm working on an AWB list containing "Portal:" or "Wikipedia:" pages, I use the "Skip" tab to skip pages like those, using "(UTC)" as the skip condition while processing those parts of the list. That skips any page containing a signature. -- John of Reading (talk) 08:38, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Your edit to Willis Tower
Please do not unilaterally replace infobox images in important articles, particularly if they are less illustrative than what was originally there. Corporal (talk) 04:23, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Roanoke tornado
I saw your post. First, I would like to note that messages to users should go on their talk pages, not their user pages. The rating given in the description for the photo was wrong. I have corrected this. TornadoLGS (talk) 22:57, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Your request for rollback
Hi Spindocter123. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Mifter (talk) 23:02, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war.
 * If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
 * Use common sense.
