File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Shawnstasiak.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Shawnstasiak.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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. 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: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. 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 created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 17:44, 21 April 2011 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 17:44, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
Why?!
[edit]Why is it so important to add Zack Ryder's Internet Championship to List of current champions in WWE and WWE's pages? It's not a official title in WWE. Zack created himself and it hasn't appeared on TV.--Mikeymike2001 (talk) 16:40, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
I agree with Mikey, WHY? --ChristianandJericho (talk) 07:15, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

The article Sicodelico has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Wikia isn't a reference. Need more reliable/independent sources
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Purplebackpack89≈≈≈≈ 00:13, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Sicodelico
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Sicodelico requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Jarkeld (talk) 20:07, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Dino Bravo (original)
[edit]Hello, Edshaft, and thanks for contributing to Wikipedia!
I wanted to let you know that some editors are discussing at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dino Bravo (original) whether the article Dino Bravo (original) should be in Wikipedia. I encourage you to comment there if you think the article should be kept in the encyclopedia.
The deletion discussion doesn't mean you did something wrong. In fact, other editors may have useful suggestions on how you can continue editing and improving Dino Bravo (original), which I encourage you to do. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the Help Desk.
Thanks again for your contributions! Jarkeld (talk) 00:34, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
Nomination of Sicodelico for deletion
[edit]A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Sicodelico is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sicodelico until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Jarkeld (talk) 00:53, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
IMDb
[edit]It is generally accepted that IMDb is not a reliable source of information, even though it is often used. Just because a source is used does not make it reliable. As for IMDb itself, See WP:ELPEREN#IMDb. --Tærkast (Discuss) 18:32, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the info, now I know to stay away from IMDb when sourcing. Edshaft (talk) 18:42, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
- Not to worry, I wish it was a more reliable source, because it seems great when you look at it.--Tærkast (Discuss) 18:49, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
Patrice O'Neil
[edit]Please stop changing the date to 11/29. There are as many sources saying 11/28 as there are 11/29, so let's leave it at the earlier date until something definitive/official is announced. I suspect most of the 11/29 sources are just being lazy and assuming that since the announcement was today, that the death was today as well. DP76764 (Talk) 21:15, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
Chris Jericho
[edit]Hi there, you reverted my edit on the Chris Jericho page. May I know why you reverted it? Because I provided sources for what I said in the article. Zaheer12a (talk) 21:58, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
I know you posted a source but unfortunately it is still just a rumor and we need to keep with just the facts. If WWE or Jericho said it then it would be good but from "WWE insiders" is still just a rumor. Edshaft (talk) 14:14, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification
[edit]Hi. In Remains Alive, you recently added links to the disambiguation pages Bass and Mike Martin (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

What did you think about the deletion notice you received?
[edit]Hi Edshaft,
In November you received a message about either "Nomination for deletion" or "Proposed deletion" of an article you created. I'd like to ask you a few quick questions:
- Was the message helpful? Were the instructions clear and easy to follow?
- If not, how do you think the message could be improved?
- What do you think about the deletion process in general? Do you understand how to contest a deletion?
You can feel free to answer on my talk page or send me your response by email (mpinchukwikimedia.org). (I won't quote you or link your answers to your username if you don't feel comfortable with that.) Your feedback is incredibly useful for improving the content of deletion notifications, so please take a minute to think about and answer these questions. Thank you!

Non-free rationale for File:Nastysavage.JPG
[edit]Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Nastysavage.JPG. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. 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, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:28, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (File:Fozzydemos1.jpg)
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Fozzydemos1.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 11:20, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
