Reverts explained
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Akron, Ohio article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.
You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3 and later."
You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the "Help Desk". You can also leave a message on my talk page. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 00:29, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
3RR warning
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Akron, Ohio. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 00:30, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 00:34, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Picture
My apologies for removing the image, that was not my intent and I thought I had stopped the revert before it went through. Sorry again. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 01:25, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Copyright violations
Please read WP:COPYVIO - you have been adding text which is copyrighted and several of the images you have uploaded on Commons are also apparently copyvios or do not adequately state their source information. In general, things you find on the web are not free and cannot be uploaded or used on Wikipedia. Text must be rewritten in your own words and the source cited. Images are trickier.
For an example of a problem image, see File:CountyofSummit.jpg which you uploaded. You can not just list "web" as its source. It just so happens that it is a low resolution version of a map I made from US Census sources and is already on Wikipedia as File:Map of Summit County Ohio With Municipal and Township Labels.PNG. I have tagged it for deletion as a duplicate file.
Or File:Goodyear.jpg and File:GoodyearHead.jpg are lovely photos, but they are identical versions of each other and should not both be on Commons - one needs to be deleted and I have tagged one for deletion.
Several files appear to copyvios, for example File:Marathon pt 02.jpg and File:Akrons Art Museum.jpg both say they are from the Akron, Ohio website and thus are not free. I have tagged them for deletion. Many other images you uploaded to Commons also appear to be questionable. Please ask if you have other questions, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:09, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- You keep uploading images to Commons that you do not have permission to do so. Please stop. Look at File:Metro RTA Transit Center aerial view.jpg, which is clearly taken from the Metro website here. There is no indication of any free license here. Or look at File:AkronRoadRunner.jpg which is clearly identified as the work of an Akron Beacon Journal photographer, and thus not your work and thus a copyvio. You alos already uploaded the same photo before and it was deleted as a copyvio before, so don't tell me you didn't know it was not a copyvio. FInally, just because the Akron Public Library has a photo does not mean you can use it here. Please read WP:COPYVIO, thanks, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:57, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Undo
Hi there, I'm not sure I understand why you undid my edit. Of the two images the one I added is clear and a dayshot, which allows correct colors to be seen; it also reflects with the article about the buidling. The image you put back was taken at night, blurry, much less of the building, and didn't have a good exposure time or angle resulting in the streaking of the lights on within the building. I'd really appreciate it if you could bring your problems with my edits to me or the article talk page instead of just undoing them, communication is key. Thanks. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 02:41, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
