[edit]Hello, I'm Donner60. I noticed that in this edit to Alien: Covenant, you removed content without adequately explaining why.

If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 00:15, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
Image without license
[edit]Unspecified source/license for File:Jeepers-creepers-3-poster.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Jeepers-creepers-3-poster.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}}
(to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot (Talk • Contribs • Owner) 21:45, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Jeepers-creepers-3-poster.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Jeepers-creepers-3-poster.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 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).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:50, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
Your recent edits
[edit]Hi. I saw you edit a couple articles and cited Wikipedia as source. Wikipedia, as user-generated content, should never be cited on Wikipedia itself. What you can do, however, is cite the reliable sources that Wikipedia links to. I saw you also cited Variety Insight. However, this failed verification; this website says nothing about what you added. Because so many entries are cited to Variety Insight, it may seem that this is a required part of adding an entry to list. This is not so. Citations should explicitly back up what you add to Wikipedia. If you have any trouble with locating sources or have other questions, please feel free to ask questions at WikiProject, a forum for discussing film-related articles on Wikipedia. As film enthusiasts, we'd love to help you in any way we can. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:25, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
The Predator poster
[edit]I've uploaded a local fair use version of The Predator poster (File:The Predator promotional poster.jpg ) it would help if in the description for the source you could provide exactly where the image came from.--KTo288 (talk) 15:53, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
- It was admittedly messy attempting to apply that teaser poster of The Predator onto the films wiki page, would be many months later when a more sufficient poster of the film would be released which had been properly registered and thus applied to the films page. Doctor-Foster (talk) 05:10, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
@KTo288: Reply from (talk page watcher) I'm responding because you're likely to never receive a response from Doctor-Foster. To answer Where the image came from?
→ it's a screenshot of a photograph uploaded on Instagram that was taken of a poster displayed at the 20th Century Fox booth during the Brand Licensing Exposition in London. Spintendo ᔦᔹ 16:34, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks @Spintendo: for the information.--KTo288 (talk) 16:56, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
- Sorry for the belated response, the poster was nearly a teaser poster should have ideally been registered before applied to the Wikipedia page for the film. Doctor-Foster (talk) 05:12, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
My apologies KTo288 Sorry I had been unable to locate the exact source of the poster, figure the page needed updating. thank you for your contribution.(talk page watcher)
Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]Hello Doctor-Foster, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Predator (franchise) have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues here.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:27, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
October 2017 Terminator Genisys
[edit] You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Terminator Genisys. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.
If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
