September 2017

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Matt Terry has been reverted.
Your edit here to Matt Terry was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChHYzhvwvWCSDQNT-C16U7w) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 16:07, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. livelikemusic talk! 04:06, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia. livelikemusic talk! 12:58, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. livelikemusic talk! 22:53, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Incidents noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. livelikemusic talk! 17:05, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Evan.Slater, I saw your post at the administrators' noticeboard and I'm coming by to offer advice. If you would like to test the editing functions of Wikipedia, please use your sandbox. You can do whatever you like in your sandbox, as long as it does not violate our policy on living persons. If you need help with any particular edit or function, feel free to post a question on your talk page (this page) using the {{help me}} template, and someone will be by shortly to offer advice. However, please do not make your test edits to encyclopedia articles, as you seem to have been doing at The X Factor (UK series 14). Test editing in live articles is considered disruptive, even if you intend to undo your tests later. If you continue editing disruptively you may be blocked from editing. Cheers, and happy editing.

October 2017

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at The X Factor (UK series 14), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Again, websites like Daily Mail and The Sun are not considered reliable sources. They are tabloids and Wikipedia does not speculate, etc. livelikemusic talk! 18:02, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Again, you're citing — albeit indirectly — The Sun, and it's not acceptable. Even so, article says she is "potentially" returning. It is not confirmation. livelikemusic talk! 23:23, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Will Manning (radio presenter) (April 3)

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Sulfurboy was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: Subject very likely not notable. Page creator continually submitting without making significant improvement. Enough is enough.

Sulfurboy (talk) 15:05, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Evan.Slater! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Sulfurboy (talk) 15:05, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Evan.Slater. Your question has been answered at the Teahouse Q&A board. Feel free to reply there!

Problems with upload of File:Clark on his BBC Radio 2 showcard.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Clark on his BBC Radio 2 showcard.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

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

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 17:30, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable non-free use File:Rylan Clark on his BBC Radio 2 showcard.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Rylan Clark on his BBC Radio 2 showcard.jpeg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
