July 2014[edit]

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as File:LEROYTHORPE00000000044.jpg ‎, to Wikipedia, as doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Wikipedia:Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Stop uploading pictures of yourself. Wikipedia is not the place to store your personal photos. I also suspect hat you do not own the copyright on most of these pictures since you are in them. They are the work of whoever took them and you cannot give Wikipedia the right to use pictures that you did not take. Meters (talk) 18:14, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
