Hello, I'm General Ization. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on Martin Shkreli, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. 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!  General Ization  Talk   20:19, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a social network
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate that you enjoy using Wikipedia, please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a social network. Wikipedia is not a place to socialize or do things that are not directly related to improving the encyclopedia. If you do have specific queries on matters not relating to Wikipedia, consider asking at the Reference desk. If you continue to disrupt the work of other editors with queries not related to Wikipedia, you are liable to be blocked from further editing. &#8209; Iridescent 19:13, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Hello, I am sorry if I caused any inconvenience, this was not my intention, but aren't there many sections on talk pages saying Happy New Year or other such non-encyclopedia type entries? I realise there may be certain nuances between saying Happy New Year and my entries but I would never start topics on articles that are irrelevant, or inconvenience someone who could be making a contribution to wikipedia, and so don't see why a hardline stance is being taken against me. Zaostao (talk) 19:46, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
 * This is a warning, Zaostao, and you are far from alone in receiving such notices. Out of 31 edits you've made, only 12 have been to Wikipedia articles and when a new editor spends more time on user pages or user talk pages than on improving content, a notice like this may be posted. Many new editors come to Wikipedia to discuss subjects rather than work on editing and improving articles and a notice like this is a reminder that such use of Wikipedia (or asking for advice about life) are not the purpose of Wikipedia. There are so many places where discussions or questions like this can be asked (I recommend Quora, for one) and are better suited to this use than Wikipedia. Liz  Read!

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Justin Gaethje, from its old location at User:Zaostao/sandbox. This is because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. /wiae  /tlk  14:16, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Just a follow-up from your request on IRC—the draft is submitted for review, it's in the draft space now, and an experienced reviewer will be along in the coming days or weeks to give you a more detailed assessment of the article. They may accept the draft, or they may give you some advice as to how to improve it, or whether it meets notability guidelines. Thanks, /wiae   /tlk  14:17, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Walters1.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Walters1.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 seven 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. Whpq (talk) 14:57, 21 February 2016 (UTC)


 * I don't know how I would find the copyright owner for that image, it is approximately a quarter of a century old, and was used in an online obituary for John Walters published to the guardian nearly 15 years ago. Zaostao (talk) 15:46, 21 February 2016 (UTC)


 * I've removed the deletion template and tagged this image as a fair use image under our non-free content policy. The image is copyrighted, which means normally you wouldn't be able to use it here.  However, it qualifies under a very narrow fair use exemption only because the subject is deceased, so a freely-licensed photo of him cannot be taken.  It is your responsibility as the uploader to appropriately tag the images you've uploaded; generally, someone else isn't going to come along and do it, and the image would have likely been deleted.  See WP:IUP and WP:TAGS.  Please note that it is almost always unacceptable to copy images from the internet onto Wikipedia in other cases, such as your image of the wrestler that I've tagged for deletion (see below notice re: that image).  Cheers, Nick&#8288;—&#8288;Contact/Contribs 00:27, 22 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I just assumed the images would be fine to add and, at the time, the tagging of the images seemed a convoluted process. I've now read the copyright articles and will appropriately tag any images I add to articles in the future. Have a good week. Zaostao (talk) 14:33, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Justin Gaethje.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Justin Gaethje.jpg. 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) 18:06, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Justin Gaethje.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Justin Gaethje.jpg 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 content 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 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 removed 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.

Backflips banned in Colorado?
I won't make a stink about it, but do you have any evidence that flipping is generally and expressly prohibited? There's nothing about it in the Unified Rules, but the state may have it's own extra code. I think this was probably a discretionary call, in which case the warning would be relevant. Otherwise, it'd have been a blindsiding, which would also be relevant (but no reports mention). InedibleHulk (talk) 18:56, March 17, 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 22
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Edmund Kemper, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Alameda. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Orphaned non-free image File:Hillside Stranglers.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Hillside Stranglers.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 22:02, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Zaostao, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Hillside Strangler has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:47, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Hillside Stranglers.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Hillside Stranglers.jpg. 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. Stefan2 (talk) 09:50, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Edmund Kemper Edit Question
I do understand that him being diagnosed with such personality disorders are not important enough to be the lead, but it is also stated that he had schizophrenia. He was ruled as being psychotic in his 1st trial (which is important). However, his mentality was debated, later, of which, many essential characteristics of someone with such a diagnosis he was lacking. Although he was diagnosed with schizophrenia, it could be nice to help implicate that some questioned his diagnosis. Rather than giving the impression that his mentality was not deputed, and thus causing confusion of if it was certain that he had paranoid schizophrenia.

I'm quite new to editing articles on Wikipedia, so I though it would be good to check with you if this is a good idea.

Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Waterfiend (talk • contribs) 17:48, 13 May 2016 (UTC)


 * This is more appropriate for the Edmund Kemper talk page but, a poor (arguably out-right false) diagnosis that Kemper was just passive-aggressive is not notable enough to be in the lead in my opinion. Anyway, it is stated in the next sentence to his schizophrenia diagnosis that Atascadero psychiatrists deemed him rehabilitated before releasing him; implying that those psychiatrists disagreed with, or believed that Kemper had changed since, the original diagnosis. --Zaostao (talk) 18:55, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without verifying permission. You have been previously warned that this is against policy, but have persisted.

Please take this opportunity to be sure you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:. — Diannaa (talk) 20:44, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

The removed material did contain a quotation, but the surrounding material was also copied word-for-word from the source web page. If you are unsure as to what constitutes a copyright violation I don't think your account should be unblocked. — Diannaa (talk) 01:16, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
 * It contained two quotations and the majority of the remaining text was procedural information and names, I also changed some of the words. Regardless, I can only say that I do understand copyright and will spend longer to ensure I don't commit any copyright violations in the future, Zaostao (talk) 09:07, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

What is the meaning of this edit?
Why did you just make this edit to 2016 shooting of Dallas police officers?- MrX 03:35, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

 * BDP? If you mean BLP, it wasn't spurious and I didn't make him rape a child or become a sex offender. It was a fact, it had reliable sources and I haven't even contested it. But i'm sorry if I caused concern or disruption, i'd never mean to do that. Thanks. Zaostao (talk) 04:47, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the mistaken archiving. The button is next to the edit button and I'm clumsy on my phone. Just wanted to clarify that I'm referring to WP:BDP which is BLP for the recently deceased.
