February 2008[edit]

Hi, the recent edit you made to LOVEFiLM has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. —αἰτίας •discussion• 13:53, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I moved this, as per instructions, from aitias web page to my page for follow-up:

LOVEFiLM[edit]

Why did you revert my changes - just because I forgot to add an edit summary? I have been making some edits to improve the page too, like adding names to the references. It seems a bit heavy-handed. I have remade them as I do believe that they improve the page's readability and its references. AndrewRH (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 13:58, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was probably because you removed a referenced statement, often a sign of a non-constructive edit. If not, don't worry about it. MSGJ (talk) 14:10, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Now that does make sense to me. The page had references that had no titles - so the references section just had a link like this: "2. [1]" -- a bit confusing to say the least. That I did change. AndrewRH (talk)

Minor edits[edit]

Why are you marking all your edits minor? Please don't. Dicklyon (talk) 02:15, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:ChildrenOfTheUnicornAlbumBack.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:ChildrenOfTheUnicornAlbumBack.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 00:34, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

February 2011[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Barcode. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.. And other barcode articles. See also WP:COI and WP:PROMO. Glrx (talk) 17:34, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

March 2011[edit]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Carl Barât. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Muhandes (talk) 09:28, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of FinePrint[edit]

The article FinePrint has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Lack of notability established by the in-line citations referencing independent reliable sources with in-depth coverage with implication of notability.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — Dmitrij D.

Orphaned non-free image File:Fineprint Screenshot.png[edit]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Fineprint Screenshot.png. 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. Skier Dude (talk) 04:49, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:RS Logo.jpg)[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:RS Logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:04, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
