February 2008[edit]

Please do not change quoted text. You have twice altered a quoted passage in Domestic violence. This is unacceptable because you are putting words into our cited sources. On wikipedia, when we verbatim quote sources, there is no reason why we should ever change the quoted text. It is incredibly misleading to our reader to give the illusion that words not found in the original source are in a quotation. Hope this helps.-Andrew c ^[talk] 16:16, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I only had good intentions when I messaged you. I apologize if I came off rude. Please understand I was just trying to help you become a productive wikipedian. I didn't say anything the first time you made the change because I figured it was a mistake. When you did it a second time, I figure I'd explain why the edit was inappropriate. Again, I wasn't trying to be rude or aggressive. Just explain why the edit wasn't helpful. I don't mean to discourage you from becoming an active part of this community. Good luck~-Andrew c ^[talk] 02:07, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits to Chroma key[edit]

Please stop changing the spelling. Doing so is a violation of WP:ENGVAR and is considered vandalism if done repeatedly. VMS Mosaic (talk) 22:03, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Road-Wars-Title.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Road-Wars-Title.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. Rettetast (talk) 11:16, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:PCA-1994.JPG[edit]

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:PCA-1994.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Shinerunner (talk) 11:58, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Police stop!.JPG[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Police stop!.JPG. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release 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-en@wikimedia.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 take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

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-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File 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 created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 15:20, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
