Seasons page

If you are going to do what you are doing with the Merritt Centennials seasons... the article needs categories... it needs a clear link to the team's main page... and the talk page needs the ice hockey wikiproject template. Personally, I would just leave them in one article together instead of dividing them up like you have. DMighton 17:24, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chilliwack Bruins (disambiguation)

Just a quick question about this page. Are you planning to create articles on all three teams? If not, then this probably does not qualify as a disambiguation page. Thanks. – ukexpat (talk) 00:04, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This account, Quietstormking, has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because your username does not meet our username policy.

This is often not a reflection on the user, and you are encouraged to choose a new account name which does meet our guidelines and are invited to contribute to Wikipedia under an appropriate username. If you feel this block was made in error, you may quickly and easily appeal it - see below.

Our username policy provides guidance on selecting your username. In brief, usernames should not be offensive, disruptive, promotional, related to a 'real-world' group or organization, or misleading. Also, usernames may not end with the string "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

If you have already made edits and wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name you may request a change in username. To do so, please follow these directions:

Add {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
Please note, you may only request a name that is not already in use. The account is created upon acceptance – do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change since we can far easier allocate your new name to you, if it is not yet used. Usernames that have already been taken are listed here. For more information, please visit Wikipedia:Changing username.
In the alternative, you can "abandon" the contributions under this username and create a new account, which is much faster and easier.

Last, the automated software systems that prevent vandalism may have been activated, which can cause new account creation to be blocked also. If you have not acted in a deliberately inappropriate manner, please let us know if this happens, and we will deactivate the block as soon as possible. You may also appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you. Blueboy 96 00:36, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:

I'm concerned that you have been violating Wikipedia's policy on conflicts of interest for a long time already. A username change is a minimum step but not sufficient here. Please read the policy Wikipedia:Conflicts of interest and the FAQ for businesses before posting another request. Mango juice^talk 21:40, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please include a decline or accept reason.

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

Ok, that's good enough for me. Allowing username change to Quietstormking (talk · contribs). Please put this request in at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking.

I am also hoping to significantly improve on the other BC junior A team entries too. Maybe not to the extent of this entry because this is what I know the best, but definitely much better than they are now. Merrittcentennials (talk) 00:17, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be great for you to upgrade the other BCHL articles.... to even somewhat close to what you did with the Cents article... you did some great work. We would also ask that you join our hockey community at Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey so you can be more aware of what us hockey-oriented people are doing on Wikipedia. I personally do a lot on the OPJHL, SIJHL, NOJHL, CenJHL, GMHL, and GOJHL... I also caretake the the QJAAAHL article. We would appreciate any help you can give.

At the project, there is some concern over your ability to "release" certain images on the Cents article to Wikipedia... do you own them? or are they publicly owned? or are they copyrighted images? This is important because they could get deleted. DMighton (talk) 05:40, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I do own the photos. I was actually wondering about that when I posted them. I would hate for them to get deleted, but understand if they were because I didn't take them myself. Merrittcentennials (talk) 18:19, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I mean... do you legally own the imagine in the photograph... if someone else took it... technically they might own the copyright. If the team owns the copyright... then you need to contact them and ask them to release the image to the public. DMighton (talk) 21:08, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Eight Arms to Hold You, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Orphaned non-free image File:Radio NL 1230 - NWIH Logo.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Radio NL 1230 - NWIH 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).

PLEASE NOTE:

I am a bot, and will therefore will not be able to answer your questions.

I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.

If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.

To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.

If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 19:22, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Zabby.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Zabby.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, 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, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. 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 provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Soundvisions1 (talk) 12:07, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:New Cents.JPG

Thanks for uploading File:New Cents.JPG. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 17:22, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:New Cents.JPG

Thank you for uploading File:New Cents.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 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. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next 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 refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
