Provisional unblock

The Ban Appeal Subcommittee has considered your appeal and decided to provisionally suspend your ban for three months, subject to the following terms:

1. You edit from one account and one account only; 2. You abide strictly by sockpuppetry policy, especially the provisions of WP:SHARE. The onus is on you to ensure that your editing and the editing of your colleagues does not overlap. 3. You accept that your account will be checkusered from time to time to verify compliance. 4. If the three months pass without incident, the unblock automatically becomes permanent.

As you have now accepted these terms by email, your account has been unblocked.

I've asked for clarification about this, and requested a topic ban, at the Arbcom noticeboard talk page, Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee/Noticeboard. MickMacNee (talk) 15:35, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

MickMacNee - Thank you for advising me. Melonite 16:13, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

EasyPizza

Hi there, I'm here to inform you that I've removed the speedy tag you placed in EasyPizza because the result of the discussion was not delete; in fact, it was withdrawn by the nominator. If you feel this article lacks notability, please submit it to WP:AfD. Thank you. — Σxplicit 21:42, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (File:Pmn logo.jpg)

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Pmn logo.jpg. 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 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. FileBot (talk) 20:36, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

David Cameron / WP:3RR

Hi Melonite

Apologies for not responding sooner.

David Cameron (and other articles, e.g. Gordon Brown have been highly active articles today, due to events in the UK. This was anticipated, and it was expected that a large amount of speculation and guessing would be added to these articles - as, in fact, was the case. Reverts made by myself and others were to address this. I believe this was preferable to seeking full-protection to these articles, or allowing the articles to descend into speculation and original research. Discussions did take place on the respective talk pages, however in situations like this - involving large numbers of inexperienced editors - expecting everyone to read the talk pages is unrealistic. The approach I took - and others took - was to revert and then post to the editors concerned explaining why they had been reverted.

I am fully aware of WP:3RR but believe in situations like this WP:IAR should apply, in order to accommodate WP:OR and WP:CRYSTAL.

Cheers, TFOWR^{This flag once was red} 00:23, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Missing Claudia Lawrence.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Missing Claudia Lawrence.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:35, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
