License tagging for Image:RussellGrant.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:RussellGrant.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:

Welcome, and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test on the page George W. Bush worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

File source problem with File:Karrball.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Karrball.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 11:22, 23 February 2011 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. 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 or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey (talk) 11:22, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Survey Invite

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH?Q_DL=eYcEJhpD4guKGZT_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH_MLRP_8oHV8fGW5ryOcJf&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 20:07, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

May 2018

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Steve McClaren, 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. Mattythewhite (talk) 20:44, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Steve McClaren, you may be blocked from editing. Mattythewhite (talk) 12:06, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Nuno Valente. L293D (☎ • ✎) 15:27, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Paul Robinson (footballer, born 1979), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. See WP:NPOV. Mattythewhite (talk) 00:38, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for May 17

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Scott Carson, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Paul Robinson (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi there from Portugal,

your requested has been attended to. Attentively, sorry for any inconvenience --Quite A Character (talk) 15:24, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

June 2018

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for persistently adding unsourced or poorly sourced content. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Mattythewhite (talk) 17:43, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

R4h4al (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Can you be more precise as to exactly why I was blocked please because as far as I know I haven't done anything wrong and do not understand why YOU think I have. If it was the Paul Merson page, the source I am using currently is his Autobiography but I do not know how to cite this on Wikipedia. Also I moved a piece of text which someone blatantly had put in the wrong place on his page. You have now vandalised the page by changing it. R4h4al (talk) 19:14, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

An autobiography would be a primary source that is neither independent nor reliable. Given that you made that addition after a series of warnings about similar poorly sourced edits, this one seems to have been the straw that broke the camel's back. I am declining this request. 331dot (talk) 20:00, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Players will not be released and leave their contract/clubs until 30 June 2019

Please do not update their 'current' club until that date, even if they have signed a new contract with a new club, as that won't come into effect until 1 July. Giant Snowman 11:58, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
