File source and copyright licensing problem with File:3-brand.svg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:3-brand.svg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Steel1943 (talk) 20:00, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes.

February 2017

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at 2017 Asian Winter Games. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 02:49, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Changes reverted - Opel / Vauxhall sale agreed but has not yet taken place

Hi there,

Your changes to Groupe PSA have been reverted; please note that while the sale has been agreed, it has not yet taken place, and in addition you haven't supplied any citations. (Which I would not expect to be possible if it hasn't actually been sold yet anyway).

Please don't rush in and jump the gun in your eagerness to add the latest information to articles. Thanks. Ubcule Ubcule (talk) 19:11, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited FIBA, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nike.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at 2016 Summer Olympics, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. - If you have a source, in the archive or wherever, then cite it. But without a cited source it doesn't belong in the article. --David Biddulph (talk) 11:31, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

September 2017

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Pyeongchang Olympic Stadium. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Afghanistan in the winter olympics

There is a note in the talk page, additionally read the comments at the bottom of the source you keep citing. Remember the debut of Big Air Snowboarding? They definitely have not qualified, and are not even close.18abruce (talk) 19:46, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

2 athletes HAVE qualified. The source says so. https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1057521/afghanistan-tipped-to-make-winter-olympic-debut-as-skiers-selected-for-pyeongchang-2018

Two Afghan athletes may have been registered to ensure they are eligible, they have not qualified. The source you are citing is not reliable, and it disagrees with reliable and official sources. They FIS decides who has qualified, check their listing here to see how athletes from around the world are doing.

Separate United Korea team at the 2018 Winter Olympics

I noticed you reverted my recent edit regarding the Unified Korea team as one of the participating NOCs in the 2018 Winter Olympics. However, the Unified Korea Flag will NOT only be used in the opening ceremony but also by the Unified Korea women's ice hockey team and the IOC decided to give the team the country code designation COR as per Yonhap agency.

The Koreas will have a unified women's hockey team competing under the Korean Unification Flag -- an image of the Korean Peninsula in blue against a white background -- and their anthem will be the Korean folk song "Arirang." The team will use the acronym COR and will be the first joint Korean sports team at an Olympic Games.

Close paraphrasing on Miraitowa and Someity

Hey Josh0108. Thanks for your work adding details to the article Miraitowa and Someity. I just wanted to let you know that I had to edit a few of the sentences you added for two reasons.

Firstly, please be careful about copying sentences directly from the sources that you are using. The content we contribute to Wikipedia needs to be written in our own words. The consequences of not doing so are potentially far more serious than a simple violation of Wikipedia policy, it is actually unlawful for us to copy the works of others without their permission—see Wikipedia:Copyright violations. If you absolutely must use the wording that a source used, surround the information with quotation marks to signal that. (If you're interested, there is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) For example, this sentence that you added is word-for-word the same as a sentence in this article on the official Paralympic website. I don't know if this was the source you used, but it's clear that you copied it from somewhere, which ties into my second point.

When adding new information to Wikipedia, we need to cite our sources. Otherwise, readers won't be able to know where we got our information from, so they won't be able to tell whether the stuff we're saying is true. Wikipedia policy allows anyone to challenge and remove information that is not directly supported by a citation to a reliable source—in other words, anything that you add to Wikipedia can be straight up removed for no other reason beyond that it doesn't have a citation. Scrolling through your user talk page, you seem to have a rough history of editors removing your contributions because you didn't cite your sources, and it looks like some people have even accused you of vandalism. I think if you more proactively seek to cite your sources in the future, you can avoid that frustration.

I really hope this information is helpful to you. If you have any questions, or want to contact me about anything at all, feel free to contact me on my user talk page. Thanks again for your work on the mascots article! Mz7 (talk) 21:43, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Univesiade logo new.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
