File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Ross Degenstein.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Ross Degenstein.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 04:29, 9 January 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 04:29, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oregon population numbers

As I and others have been reverted much of your work, here is why. First, unless you update the citations and cite where you are getting the info, the old citations remain and say otherwise. As in the text no longer matches the citation. Secondly, the one source you did provide, this one, would fail our reliable sources (RS) rules as it appears to be self-published. Now, that website does mention US Census numbers, which citations to those sources would pass RS. But, in the end, we prefer the numbers estimated by the Population Research Center at PSU as those are official numbers for the state, that they use for dividing up monies between cities, and these are the numbers usually used by the cities on their websites and on their entrance signs. Feel free to update cities with those numbers for the 2009 estimate, as no-one would object. Aboutmovies (talk) 09:03, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have Oregon Blue Book for list of cities in 1970-2008 this one Please write back me! Ross Degenstein (talk) 22:55, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unsourced or original content. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Katr67 (talk) 19:50, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

About edit summaries

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.

Katr67 (talk) 19:50, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank. I don't know how to put about edit summaries. I understand put list 1 2 3 4 5 lines. Tedder has blocked me in January 16, 2010.

Please stop

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you disrupt Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. Katr67 (talk) 00:27, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Let me add to this- please communicate with other editors through edit summaries, on talk pages, even on this talk page. It's hard to know why you are doing something without that. You've been asked to stop making these disruptive edits- please heed that. If you help by communicating, we can get into a discussion about why we want things done a certain way and probably suggest ways that your skills can be used constructively here. tedder (talk) 00:45, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry. I stop edit. I gave up in Oregon State. I talk you communicate. I sent to Tedder on the bottom. I got posted message.

January 2010

You have been temporarily blocked from editing for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. tedder (talk) 17:32, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You've been blocked for making edits such as this, which insert numbers and change existing citations to imply they say something that they don't. You've been warned and asked to participate in a discussion multiple times and haven't done so. Unfortunately, the edits you are performing, even if they are done with good intent, are very disruptive, as evidenced by the number of messages from fellow editors above. tedder (talk) 17:35, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Eek! I read your message warned in West Fargo I copied at Cass County Governor Courthouse. This wesbite [1] is List of cities in North Dakota Please reply back me! Ross Degenstein (talk) 00:28, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You don't know how to what? Participate? You do it similar to how you posted this message- basically "edit" a talk page, rather than editing an article page. Communicate, then sign with four tildes (these characters: ~~~~). tedder (talk) 05:37, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Today Non-sign in. I edited in Hillsboro It's 89,285 in 2008 in the Demographic. Today Fred replied back me unable further. I sometime edit anywhere cities, counties and states. Good Evening. Typewriter #8908 Ross Degenstein (talk) 00:28, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I didn't see your messages until now. I don't know what you are talking about (Fred? Typewriter 8908?). Is English your second language? If there is another language you can communicate in better, I can probably find someone that can explain things to you. tedder (talk) 02:16, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank! I got messages both. I saw on the top long rectangle is orange. I read your message. Me and number. You don't know about typewriter? I explain you and them. I counting typewriter. I forgot and accident. I don't put typewriter on wikipedia. I put typewriter on hotmail only. It's 8909 now. Yesterday Fred Bauder replied back me. Fred said "Ross, You seem to be unable to understand how to edit Wikipedia. Your appeal isdenied. Further appeal is to the Arbitration Committee arbcom-l@lists.wikimedia.org Sorry to disappoint you, Fred Bauder"

Yesterday I used my wikipedia. I erased my profile and list of cities in Oregon. Good Morning!

Another and sorry I understand

I think you missed the point. You have been blocked from editing, so you shouldn't be making these edits from this account or from an IP; please see WP:SOCK. I'd reply to some of your questions and comments but I'm confused, I have trouble understanding what you are saying, which is why I asked if English is not your native language. tedder (talk) 23:20, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
