User talk:HMsberry

{{adminhelp}} I work for New York Times best-selling author Steve Berry. He would like to know how we can take control of his page to manage all content, and protect it from changes. I have searched the help and FAQ without finding an answer that fits. Your assistance would be appreciated. HMsberry (talk) 14:51, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

No chance! This is completely against all the rules of Wikipedia. . . Mean as custard (talk) 14:58, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

That's not how Wikipedia works. We're an encyclopaedia and a wiki, which means that anybody can edit any page as long as they follow our policies. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:10, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

The information contained in the basic page is incorrect and I have not found a way to edit it. How do I edit the upper part of the page that gives the information about him? HMsberry (talk) 20:13, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Steve Berry (novelist) do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.  
Your edit here to Steve Berry (novelist) 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 (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Steve-Berry/72754844439) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
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.

Replaceable fair use File:Novelist Steve Berry, 2012.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Novelist Steve Berry, 2012.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair 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 fair 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:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. 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 (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 17:58, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
