License tagging for Image:Goebbels9.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Goebbels9.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. 01:08, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Your recent edits
[edit]Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 16:26, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to David Ferrie. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

3RR
[edit]![Warning](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/8b/Stop_hand.svg/30px-Stop_hand.svg.png)
Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. Gamaliel (Angry Mastodon! Run!) 00:39, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Please havea a look at Wikipedia:External links and Wikipedia:Reliable sources before you continue. Thank you. Gamaliel (Angry Mastodon! Run!) 00:40, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

You have been blocked for a period of 24 hours for violating the three reverts rule on Jack Ruby. You may resume editing after the block expires, but continued edit warring will result in longer blocks without further warnings. Kafziel Complaint Department 04:30, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Ciravolo.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Ciravolo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it may be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 13:22, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Bad Faith
[edit]Please do not vandalize my talk page further by placing bogus 3RR tags. I made one revert. If you act in bad faith again, I will have no choice but to report you to Arbcom Enforcement. Ramsquire (throw me a line) 19:17, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Request reason:
The administrator, Ramsquire has attempted to link me with a previous editor, RPJ who, from what I gather, was previously blocked. Ramsquire says that my actions "mirror" those of RPJ. However, Ramsquire provides no proof of this, and little evidence. He accuses me of edit warring. However, since I have been made aware of the 3 revert rule, I have been sure to keep within its limits. He accuses me of vandalizing his page. In fact, I merely posted a copy to the 3 revert rule to his page after he did the same to my page. I did, however, make a mistake in posting this to his main page, instead of his talk page. This was a honest mistake; I am somewhat new to this. Ramsquire further says that I acted impolitely by using the word "bogus" in describing another editor's remarks. In fact, a synonym for the word "bogus" is "not genuine" -- hardly an impolite word. However, since Ramsquire considers "bogus" to be impolite, I will refrain from using it in the future.
Decline reason:
Since this block is per ArbCom sanctions in an existing case and involves allegations of sockpuppetry, it should be resolved at a higher level, perhaps via the email list. — Daniel Case (talk) 13:10, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

[edit] This is your last warning; the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Lee Harvey Oswald, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. We've been here before; we do not need to go there again. Discuss this issue on the Talk page, or suffer sanctions. Up to you. There are numerous dispute resolution processes here, but single-mindedness is not one of them. Rodhullandemu 23:24, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Request reason:
According to Wikipedia rules "any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia is not vandalism. Edit warring over content is not vandalism." Therefore, I have not committed vandalism. My previous additions of content were removed before consensus was achieved, so the argument that I cannot remove content, without achieving consensus, sets a double-standard.
Decline reason:
You're not blocked for vandalism. 狐 FOX 23:48, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Request reason:
"Rodhullandemu's waring: "This is your last warning; the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Lee Harvey Oswald, you may be blocked from editing without further notice." Therefore, the question must be asked -- if I am not being blocked for vandalism, then why was vandalism given for the reason by the administrator Rodhullandemu? Mark Tracy (talk) 00:20, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Decline reason:
That's not his block rationale. This is. "Your previous one-year block and recent warnings do not appear to have got the message across that you cannot just remove content without achieving consensus. Since you again show no sign of abating this behaviour, you are blocked indefinitely unless and until you give an indication to collaborate constructively. I will also note this block at the related ArbCom case." This is also not a standard unblock request. 狐 FOX 00:35, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Request reason:
If removing content is disallowed without achieving consensus, then why do Wiki administrators set a bad example by doing exactly that? Example: "20:42, 6 February 2011 Gamaliel, External links: rm some conspiracy links." And since Wiki administrators on the Oswald page are violating Wiki policy, how do I file a complaint, specifically against the administrator Gamaliel? Mark Tracy (talk) 00:51, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Please discuss issues without additional unblock requests. Cheers. lifebaka++ 01:01, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Arbitrators' opinion on hearing this matter (0/0/0/0)
[edit]below the first header (
Use this section to request the committee open an arbitration case. To be accepted, an arbitration request needs 4 net votes to "accept" (or a majority). Arbitration is a last resort. WP:DR lists the other, escalating processes that should be used before arbitration. The committee will decline premature requests. Requests may be referred to as "case requests" or "RFARs"; once opened, they become "cases". Before requesting arbitration, read the arbitration guide to case requests. Then click the button below. Complete the instructions quickly; requests incomplete for over an hour may be removed. Consider preparing the request in your userspace. To request enforcement of an existing arbitration ruling, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement. To clarify or change an existing arbitration ruling, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment. This page is for statements, not discussion.
