Unspecified source for Image:RNCReaganTribute.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:RNCReaganTribute.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Khatru2 05:07, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Federal election issues article

Hi there. I saw you made some edits to Issues in the Canadian federal election, 2006 a while back. I'm proposing this article be deleted under prod because it's entirely obsolete, and hasn't had any human edits since April. Just wanted to let you know, in case you think it's worth saving. -Joshuapaquin 02:14, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Overlord meme

Thanks for following through on the redirect of Overlord meme to Culturally significant phrases from The Simpsons. However, you forgot to add the info (effectively merging) to the new article. I went ahead and added the Overlord meme info. Sparsefarce 23:53, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Editing in Bad Faith

Over the past few months, you have continued, through dozens of reverts by at least four different fellow editors, to add the exact same unsourced statements of opinion to the article Zelda II: The Adventure of Link and related articles asserting, bizarrely and without evidence or corroboration, either that Zelda is pictured with a red rose in her hand in Zelda II or that Zelda II is Nintendo's Sleeping Beauty. This is despite open opposition to this behaviour from all other editors of the material in question who have expressed a view, who oppose the addition as a consequence of the nature of this statement as a statement of personal interpretation, not based on any canonical (game manuals, sprites) or pseudo-canonical (Nintendo Power, the Zelda comic books, etc.) material associated with the topic.

As you are apparently unwilling to engage other editors on this topic (comments on Talk:Princess Zelda, Talk:Zelda II: The Adventure of Link and this page have received no response on your part) and have refused to offer an explanation for whatever view it is you hold on this addition, for which no other editors can find any underlying reasoning, I'm compelled to assume you are merely editing in bad faith. Per Wikipedia:Vandalism, "adding a personal opinion once is not vandalism". However, you have now added this personal opinion, original research, or whatever it may be, to the pages in question dozens of times. And as you have removed from this page comments on the topic, other editors have come to interpret your actions as Vandalism.

If you do not intend to edit in good faith, please cease to edit the articles in question. --Yst 21:57, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Please reply to the comments at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/SNIyer12. Otherwise if you continue to edit those articles and complains continue to be filled about your behaviour, you may be blocked from editing our project.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  17:28, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Abraham Lincoln

As an experienced editor, I'm wondering why you added unsourced trivia to the Lincoln article. I would think that you would know better. Rklawton 18:45, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

So why not add these sources when you make your edits? Rklawton 19:05, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

links to President of the United States on the Chinese and Classical Chinese Wikipedias

Hi, I noticed that you deleted the links from the President of the United States article to it's counterpart articles on the Chinese and classical Chinese Wikipedias. I'm just wondering why you did that? Is there some problem with the articles on the Chinese Wikipedias? --Aervanath 16:14, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Please seek consensus before moving a heavily edited article that is currently in AfD without consultation

I'm referring to List of victims of the Virginia Tech massacre which you changed to a redirect. Given that this is a page currently in AfD, and no consensus thus far seems to be emerging, your action was pretty out-of-line. I've reverted your change & put in a request for move-protection at least until the AfD discussion is over. --Yksin 23:25, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

• I'll second that. As a pagemove, epecially of a high-traffic topic like this, please try to obtain consensus on the talk page beforehand. If this is repeated, it could be construed as vandalism. If you've any questions, just leave a message on my talk page. - Alison^☺ 23:45, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Your edit to Galen B. Jackman

Rather than simply deleting what you added to Galen Jackman's article recently, I thought I would ask first why what another commander of MDW did during his tenure has anything to do with Jackman and his own tenure. It seems as though you're just thinking up reasons to link to pages you created whether those pages have anything in the world to do with the article you link to or not. If you have a good reason for this that I'm failing to see, then please point it out to me. Otherwise, information about Swan that has nothing to do directly with Jackman does NOT belong in Jackman's article--keep it in Swan's. --ScreaminEagle 21:14, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Image:RRCASKETLAYSINSTATE.jpg removal

Hi there. I was wondering why you removed the picture Image:RRCASKETLAYSINSTATE.jpg from Lying in state. The pic presents a very clear view of President Reagan lying in state (clearer than the one you replaced it with--it's a screenshot, and slightly blurred), and the quality is great. It's also cited to fair use accordingly....why remove it? Happyme22 04:28, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:BugsBunnyDaffyDuckJennaElfmanAndBrendanFraser.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:BugsBunnyDaffyDuckJennaElfmanAndBrendanFraser.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ilse@ 22:36, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:VancouverInternationalAirportOn911.jpg

I have tagged Image:VancouverInternationalAirportOn911.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you.
