Please do not add self-referential links to articles such as you just did to Angelina Jolie. These do not improve the article. --Yamla 18:41, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Derek Jeter. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox.

Thanks for uploading Image:Trophy 2.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.

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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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.

Stuyvesant High School and High School of Economics and Finance

I just deleted your 9/11 HSEF text from the Stuyvesant article. It's a very good point, but it has nothing to do with Stuyvesant. There isn't yet an HSEF article, you should consider starting one and put that material in it. The NYDoE Region 9 footer suggests the title I've linked above.

March 2007

Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Boston Red Sox. Readers looking for serious articles will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you can write whatever you want. You might also want to check out Uncyclopedia. -- Whereizben - Chat with me - My Contributions 20:47, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yankees template - why the unnecessary repetition of code?

For many Wikipedia articles on Yankee-related items, you inserted a New York Yankees template in the article at the bottom of the articles. That's fine, except you incorrectly did so in every one of these articles. You just copied and pasted the template's code into the articles, when all you need to do is call the template (which will insert the code on its own). Please amend this by writing the following: {{New York Yankees}} The point of using templates is to eliminate having to copy/paste code, as well as saving the size of the articles (using the correct template tags will reduce the articles 15 KB in size). Also, the templates should not go above the Notes/References sections in articles. I would appreciate it if you could help us correct your mistakes. Thank you.

Fair use rationale for Image:Hughesbig.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Hughesbig.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Coltschampionshipbanner.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Coltschampionshipbanner.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 20:11, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use Image:Edwar.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Edwar.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Wizardman 03:07, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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.
