File permission problem with File:Roguemap.jpg[edit]

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Roguemap.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, 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, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. 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 provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MBisanz ^talk 21:44, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (File:Synth-thum-wiki.jpg)[edit]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Synth-thum-wiki.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 12:04, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

August 2011[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article United States and state terrorism, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. We're glad you've chosen to edit Wikipedia, but for controversial topics (like terrorism), everything needs to be sourced. Please find some sources to back your info up, and we'll be very thankful for your edits. Puchiko (Talk-email) 17:26, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(reply to note left on my talk page). Ahoj :) I think you need to read Wikipedia:Reliable sources and Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. Wikipedia isn't here to spread the "truth" (as you see it), but to simply report on what's said in 'independent and reliable sources (the 9/11 truth movement isn't a reliable source). You might view this as censorship, but it's a rule meant to protect Wikipedia from becoming a collection of Wikipedia:Fringe theories.

To illustrate these policies: we do have articles like United States and state terrorism and 9/11 conspiracy theories, but they only report on what reliable sources say about the subject. Their intent is not to promote or disparage the theories, but to report on what reliable sources say. I hope that's clearer to you now. Again, welcome to Wikipedia. I understand the policies and mark-up are hard to understand at first, but I hope you'll find your way around soon. Puchiko (Talk-email) 08:37, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

United States and state terrorism[edit]

Were is the source you say you were adding to support the content? [1] Darkness Shines (talk) 19:57, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article State-sponsored terrorism, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. [2] No source, you also reverted an editor saying you were adding a source on another article but did not, please be more careful in future Darkness Shines (talk) 20:23, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

About deleted on pages[edit]

JLeonard I thank you that you're not erasing again the content in List of the most common surnames in Europe in the Italian surnames section List_of_the_most_common_surnames_in_Europe#Italy. The reason is that too many Italian surnames, just trying to give a list of the most common surnames in Italy. Thank you very much for your understanding, ye truth is not easy because the people who work in the study of surnames takes time then continuous information bleached do not help much. If you agree and leave things undone more deleted, in the Wikipedia community, we thank you. --Ligron 17:36, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Purely informational[edit]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in genetically modified organisms, commercially produced agricultural chemicals and the companies that produce them, broadly construed. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

I'm just posting this as information, with absolutely no implied accusation whatsoever. Since you've been commenting at Talk:Glyphosate, it's important to be aware that this is a subject area where special rules are in effect. --Tryptofish (talk) 18:39, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
