Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to East Timor. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Jim1138 (talk) 08:06, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A summary of site guidelines and policies you need to know

"Truth" is not the criteria for inclusion, verifiability is.
Always cite a source for any new information. When adding this information to articles, use <ref>reference tags like this</ref>, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
We do not publish original thought nor original research. We're not a blog, we're not here to promote any ideology.
Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards. User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided. Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources. Real scholarship actually does not say what understanding of the world is "true," but only with what there is evidence for. In the case of science, this evidence must ultimately start with physical evidence. In the case of religion, this means only reporting what has been written and not taking any stance on doctrine.

Possible copyright violation(s)

Your contributions are appreciated. You are very welcome here. But, I have encountered possible copyright violation(s). Some or all of the content you added in a recent edit to Cookie appears to be copy pasted from http://www.kitchenproject.com/history/cookies.htm

File permission problem with File:Fashion Week in Kazakhstan.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Fashion Week in Kazakhstan.jpeg. 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 are the copyright holder for 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.

Copyright violations at Cookie

You just added the same copyrighted content as before, but this time, without the reference.

Again, you are not allowed to copy paste content like that. You have a history of copyright violations, and you must please stop.

If you upload an image that you do not own, please read Wikipedia:Non-free content first. Most likely, you should not upload the image. But, understanding image copyright policy is not so easy. Please read, read, read, and only when you are certain, upload.

As for text, well, that is easy. If the source says the content is public domain, fine. Take a look at the bottom of http://www.kitchenproject.com/history/cookies.htm and you will see "© 1998-2005 The Kitchen Project ". The © means copyrighted.

If you persist in adding copyrighted content to Wikipedia pages, you may be blocked from editing.

Thank you. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 07:59, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop

You just uploaded File:Udon at a Yamagoeudon restaurant in Ayagawa-cho, shikoku, japan.jpg as a picture you took yourself. I do not believe that. It appears at 9 different websites in different sizes and crops and dates.

If you add any more copyrighted material to Wikipedia that you do not own, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You are, of course, welcome to explain all of this. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:06, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Do you own these or did you get them from the Internet somewhere?

Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:14, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please explain this?

I have encouraged you to discuss your edits. You have not responded. You persist in uploading images that I think are not your own property. Other images and text are plainly copyright violations. You are making edits that show that you do not quite understand how to contribute. Please stop and read some of the links in the welcome message. Please do not make further edits until you are sure of what you are doing. I am here if you need to ask questions. I can help. Please stop and discuss things. Thank you.

November 2014

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours 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, as you did at Winter. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:25, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

After repeated warnings, you just added copy pasted text again. This time in this edit from this source.

Copyright violations are taken seriously here. When you return, if you commit any further copyright violations, you may be blocked from editing again. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:27, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Mega Astana requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 "Click here to 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.

Replaceable fair use File:Hwang Jung-eum.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Hwang Jung-eum.jpeg. 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:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
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. Eeekster (talk) 20:26, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of K.M. Walton

The article K.M. Walton has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.
