Hi, I have changed the university of St Andrews logo back to the one I uploaded, it is the current logo, the older one is at least 2 years out of date. Please do not change it again. -- Jamesmcmahon0 (talk) 16:16, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Adding copy-pasted text to articles

Your addition to University Health Network has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
Even leaving the copyright issues aside, it's generally not a good idea to copy and paste big, unwikified lumps of text into Wikipedia articles, regardless of their source. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 23:09, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Windsor University School of Medicine Classroom.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Windsor University School of Medicine Classroom.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) 05:07, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Nanshan Zhong

Hello, Captain108. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Nanshan Zhong, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

1. edit the page
2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

Policy is quite clear

I expect you to either revert yourself or begin to immediately start providing citations for the content in this edit

Policy is quite clear that challenged content MUST be accompanied by: an inline citation before being restored- not by: a wave at other articles that have unsourced content. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 02:54, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

I have no skin in this game, but mass deletions like this are completely inappropriate. I will work on this on my own time then, but what I want to make very very clear, if you truly felt every line needed to be cited, why have you not targeted every page of every university because the truth is none of them have citations. This seems to me a classic case of using an arcane rule in order to selective target a school's page. Captain108 (talk) 02:55, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

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.

License tagging for File:Mdcl.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Mdcl.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 05:05, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Mdcl.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Mdcl.jpg, which you've attributed to McMaster University. 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.

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 Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 08:30, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:MDCL Building at McMaster University.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:MDCL Building at McMaster University.jpg. 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:

1. 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.
2. 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. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:38, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Recognition of your character and update about the Osgoode Law School page

This is a hello and thank you for your good conduct that was found in reviewing the appalling history of the Osgoode Hall Law School page. It is obvious that there is someone, and most recently there are some people, who are keen on abusing wikipedia and it's rules and policies in order to obstruct the proper development of that page. Good on you for making it clear that something was seriously amiss...bad on all the wiki admins who just stood by and watched. You may be interested to know that various admin accounts are now obstructing the page again. After having no response to PaulyDee and seeing the page get developed (thanks to your initiation of a new list with citations in the works) a bunch of people including admins have chosen to censor any additions to the page if they think they have any reason to suspect that PaulyDee is 'sockpuppetting'. The page is now semi protected with the stated reason of preventing vandalism...but there was none. Moreover, there was no opportunity for objective dispute resolution in the face of disagreement. They simply decided that PaulyDee's contributions were somehow offensive...to them. The matter was not allowed to be pursued via the wikipedia dispute resolution process because admins actually erased every single post that any account made on the dispute resolution boards about the disputed reversions. How's that for a process? They must be pleased that they think there is sockpuppetry going on because apparently that means that there are suddenly no rules. I wonder how legitimate a dispute resolution system is seen that prevents people from actually making a complaint for objective consideration. And how legitimate an 'open' encyclopedia administration is that, following censorship of one account, actually has the hubris to use the rationale of sockpuppetry to impose general obstruction of any account that might plausibly be from the account they initially censored. Yes, this is what is going on in the great 'open encyclopedia'. And would you believe that one of the admins abusing their admin tools is a lawyer in toronto? I won't say who or post the proof and I am making it clear that this is strictly a public service announcement. In fact, please take it as wild speculation...for now. But you were quite obviously correct in the past when dealing with one 'red pen of doom' that someone DOES have skin in the game and was abusing wikipedia for their goals. Anyway, there are still some people who find this to be quite outrageous and would appreciate your participation again, even if very limited. Currently it is the following admins (User:Paul Erik, User:Sro23, User:Dane2007, User:NeilN) who have reverted things that should remain on the page (notable alumni who obviously went there and are even cited). Do you care to restore them? It would be much appreciated. Either way, this message is a recognition of your good conduct in the face of very obvious wikipedia corruption in the past...corruption that is going on again in the present.

I would argue there are a lot more irrelevant things in that list (for example, having a whole section on the Toronto varsity blues at the beginning of the article (i mean, its not like we're talking about Duke basketball) than putting a ranking for the UofT faculty of medicine. I don't want to put the subject ranking of every subject, but in cases where the University has a particular strength, such as where it is ranked 5th in the world, no small achievement, I would believe it is appropriate to have one line deep down in the rankings section? Captain108 (talk) 15:54, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

@Captain108: The introduction lead paragraph is meant to be a summative of the entire article (review WP:LEAD for more info). If you haven't noticed, the lead provides a summary the basic points for each sections of the article (the lead summarizes the history, research, alumni, and as you stated, the article's athletics sections of the article). As per WP:UNIGUIDE, athletics is typically covered as a part of "student life," (intercollegiate athletics dept. is offered to all UofT students, though this article's focus on varsity athletics is probably a result of editors mirroring American uni articles). As for why its now its own section as opposed to being a subsection of student life, I assume the athletics section grew to a point where an editor just spun-it-off into its own section. However, there is no section solely on "University of Toronto Medicine," (the medical school is brought up in Academics main section, and research to a lesser degree) so I don't really know why were talking about the lead structure.

With regards to the actual content in question, the reason as to why I removed the content is so the article complies with the standards set out by Wikipedia:WikiProject Universities, specifically where it states in their WP:UNIGUIDE (also refer to WP:BOOSTER, which is the WikiProject's essay on how use rankings in general) to not include the historical ranks, or to emphasize rankings of sub-disciplines. The article is about the institution as a whole. Listing the med rank just places undue emphasis on the sub-discipline over actual institutional rankings, as well as other notable (unlisted btw) sub-disciplines also offered at UofT. Again, the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine is the more appropriate article for this specific type of content, as the rankings in question fall within the scope of the article topic. This is where past editors have placed sub-disciple rankings for the university (i.e. University of Toronto Department of Mathematics), so really, I see no reason why medical school rankings should be exempt from the upheld standard. Leventio (talk) 19:47, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Also, just noticed you added the Reputation rank in the lead (so I guess thats why you brought it up), I accidentally reverted that and have restored it. That said, I moved it to reputation section, as the following rank hasn't been introduced in the article at all (generally the lead section should be going over what already exists in the article). That, and if we include the rankings in the lead, you also need to include a number of others in addition (otherwise its undue weight to a specific methodology).
