File:Seal of Lake Charles.png
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:22, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Seal of Lake Charles.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Seal of Lake Charles.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 23:43, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Flag of Lake Charles.png


A tag has been placed on File:Flag of Lake Charles.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken 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 the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:47, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
 * This file's license was converted to a non-free one, so this issue has been resolved. If you upload any more governement flags or logos such as this, it best to assume they are protected by copyright unless it clearly states otherwise; moreover, you need to be careful uploading anything not found on an official website of the organization, etc. represented by the logo/flag becuase many websites host image content and some even allow users to upload content. Typically, external websites like "Flags of the World", etc. don't do much in terms of verification of copyright ownership, and just assume the uploader knows what they are doing. Official government websites also sometimes host the content of others, but this doesn't make them the copyright holder on such content. If you've got any questions about a file's licensing, you can always ask for help at WP:MCQ. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:39, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Non-free content use
Hi TheTexasNationalist99. The licensing of each media file you see used on Wikipedia is determined by it copyright status and not every file you see on Wikipedia is licensed the same. Some files are licensed as public domain or licensed under a free licensed suitable for Wikipedia and these are often collectively referred to as "free images". Other files are licensed as non-free content because of their copyright status and these files are commonly referred to as "non-free". Non-free content use on Wikipedia is highly restricted and each use of such files must satisfy Wikipedia's non-free image use policy. One of these restrictions is WP:NFCC, which says that non-free content can only be used in the article namespace. For this reason and as explained in WP:UP, non-free content such as File:Seal of Lake Charles.png, etc. cannot be used in User:TheTexasNationalist99/sandbox. It's OK if you weren't aware of this until now, but please try and be careful in the future and use only PD or freely-licensed images in your sandbox. If you have any questions about this feel free to ask them here, at WP:MCQ or at WT:NFC, but please don't re-add any such files to your sandbox again. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:28, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on Shreveport, Louisiana. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. You have already been cautioned about adding unsourced content to that article. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:55, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Regarding this conflict, I did not add unsourced content for the sake of just adding it. I added it back by reverting your edit so as to provide time for a source to be cited, adding the citation needed template. Therefore, it is pure folly to suggest me being blocked from editing Wikipedia. As for being warned before, please, show me as I cannot find that warning.--TheTexasNationalist99 (talk) 17:59, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Miami 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.

 * I surely do not desire to be blocked from editing in anything, and do seek to find a peaceful means to this end.--TheTexasNationalist99 (talk) 16:48, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
