Too many reverts, not enough editors

Please be aware thatuser:206.165.97.2 has violated WP:3RR and will be reported. If you revert the text back to its orginal inadequate boilerplate, I will assume that the unregistered user is your sockpuppet. If you have concerns about the article, please discuss them in the proper forum Richardjames444 16:50, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

C'mon, this is stupid and you're going to get banned from editing if you revert it one more time. What is your problem with the revisions? Richardjames444 16:53, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Clinton Foundation

Hello. I don't think anyone has a problem with the information you are adding to Clinton Foundation. The issue is that you are removing sourced information and removing useful category information. In effect, this lessens the quality of information (removing sourced, valid information) and removes the ability to cross-reference the article (removing category information). Instead of overwriting that information, it would be helpful if you could add to it by interweaving what you have to say with the information that is already present. Thank you.

WP:Copyvio

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the Clinton Foundation article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the article in your own words. For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Happy editing!

Unspecified source for Image:MG 9624 copy.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:MG 9624 copy.JPG. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may 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. feydey 20:07, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

While it is up to you to tag the photo appropriately, I think that it probably qualifies for inclusion under the fair use policy. It is almost certain tobe yanked again, though, if you do not follow the tagging and rights policies. Richardjames444 16:29, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the cooperative edit

User:Clinton Foundation- Thanks for the constructive editing on this article. The photo of the Big Dog is great. I may format the text above the picture as an intro and start putting the Foundation activities under separate headings. I proposed a merge of the Clinton Global Initiative article into this article- any thoughts? Richardjames444 21:02, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

This account with this username has been blocked indefinitely because the username may be rude or inflammatory, be unnecessarily long or confusing, be too similar to an existing user, contain the name of an organization or website, refer to a Wikipedia or Wikimedia Foundation process or namespace, or be otherwise inappropriate (see our blocking and username policies for more information).

You are encouraged to create a new account and contribute to Wikipedia under an appropriate username. Our username policy provides guidance on selecting your username.

Alternately, you may request a change in username if you want to keep the contributions from this account. To do so, please follow these directions:

1. Add {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page.
2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked.
3. You will have 24 hours after the unblock to file a request before you may be re-blocked. Please note, you may only request a name that is not already in use; do not create the new account then request a name change. For more information, please visit Wikipedia:Changing username.

In many cases (especially if your account has few or no edits), it is much easier to create a new account. You may also edit Wikipedia without creating an account. Due to Wikipedia's mechanism for enforcing name changes, your IP address may be temporarily blocked. Unless you have also been engaging in vandalism or impersonation of another user, we will remove that block as soon as possible.

If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you. Talk 15:46, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Reason for blocking

The user page of this account indicates that it is being used as a "role account" by one or more people. A role account is an account that is not associated with a particular person, but with an office, position, or task. Those doing the task use the account only to do the task. They have other accounts for other work. Use of role accounts is not sanctioned on Wikipedia. If people at the Foundation wish to edit articles here, subject to the usual expectation on conflict of interest in particular, they are of course welcome to do so. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:46, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:MG_9624_copy.JPG

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:MG_9624_copy.JPG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. 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? Rettetast (talk) 22:11, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
