Young Money Entertainment Presents: Lil Weezy Ana Volume 1

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Young Money Entertainment Presents: Lil Weezy Ana Volume 1, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. Spellcast 12:06, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Yingyangchemicallyimbalanced.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Yingyangchemicallyimbalanced.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 03:08, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Edit Summary

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 [ [m:Help:Diff|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, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. --Geniac 01:20, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image tagging for Image:UGK2.PNG

Thanks for uploading Image:UGK2.PNG. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Image:Eminem.jpg

I'm sorry, but I'd prefer the image would be left free-licensed. Having a fair-use image when a free one can be used instead violets Wikipedias first fair-use criteria as per WP:FUC. Michaelas10 (Talk) 12:37, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use images in user space

Hello. It might be a good idea to remove the album covers from your user page, since fair use images should not be used in the user space according to Wikipedia:Fair use criteria #9. Thanks. Khatru2 08:46, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits, such as those you made to All the Right Reasons, are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you. --Yamla 15:04, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:BackoftheRe-Up.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:BackoftheRe-Up.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 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. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Durin 16:58, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use image use

Re: [1]: The use of fair use images on userpages is not permitted per Wikipedia:Fair use criteria item #9. The images that have been removed from your userpage (Image:Texas state seal.png, Image:Newball.jpg, Image:2Pac2.jpg, Image:BackoftheRe-Up.jpg, and Image:ITunes-700-icon.png) are all copyrighted images and used on Wikipedia under terms of fair use. Thus, they may not exist on userpages or any non-main article namespace page. This is why they were removed from User:Apokolypz. --Durin 16:43, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:T.I. rapper.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:T.I. rapper.JPG. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}. If you have not already done so, please also include the source of the image. In many cases this will be the website where you found it.

Please specify the copyright information and source on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yamla 03:21, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:T.I. rapper.JPG

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:T.I. rapper.JPG. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with 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 fair use images 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. Yamla 03:21, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:T.I. rapper.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:T.I. rapper.JPG. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Yamla 03:21, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

You have been blocked for 24 hours for continuing to violate Wikipedia's image copyright and fair-use policies. You are welcome to resume editing once the block expires, but please refrain from any further violations. --Yamla 03:22, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Another image

As with the images above, Image:Bone Thugs.jpg, does not list any information about its copyright status, and might not meet our criteria for fair use for unlicensed content. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask at Wikipedia:Media Copyright Questions. Thanks. ×Meegs 14:16, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Final warning

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:11, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. 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.
