[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Disney Channel, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Fox Kids Beta Logo.gif
[edit]A tag has been placed on File:Fox Kids Beta Logo.gif requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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.

File source problem with File:Nick Jr. logo 2009.svg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Nick Jr. logo 2009.svg. 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.
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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:08, 7 September 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Blueboy96 17:08, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit]Please do not attack other editors, as you did at UPN. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Blueboy96 17:18, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
{{unblock|Your reason here}}
below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Blueboy96 18:38, 7 September 2009 (UTC)You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on UPN. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Blueboy96 23:23, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
Please see Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view#Undue weight and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Unless and until your petition receives a significant amount of coverage from reliable, third-party sources, it does not meet Wikipedia's content inclusion standards. Thank you. —David Levy 18:40, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
- At this point, your edits amount to vandalism. If you do not cease, you will be blocked again. —David Levy 18:59, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
- You have been blocked from editing Wikipedia for a period of one week as a result of your disruptive edits. You are free to make constructive edits after the block has expired, but please note that vandalism (including page blanking or addition of random text), spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, personal attacks; and repeated, blatant violations of our policies concerning neutral point of view and biographies of living persons will not be tolerated. —David Levy 19:06, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia Campus Ambassador needed
[edit]Hi! My name is Annie Lin - I'm the Campus Team Coordinator at the Wikimedia Foundation. I'm contacting you because you're listed as a resident of San Francisco, and we're currently looking for a friendly Wikipedian to teach students in a University of San Francisco class how to use/edit Wikipedia. This is a role titled the "Wikipedia Campus Ambassador," and you'll basically be doing in-class presentations about Wikipedia, running Wikipedia labs/workshops, and in general providing face-to-face Wikipedia help for the professor and the students in the class. The time commitment is about 3-5 hours a week (with variations throughout the semester), and for this particular University of San Francisco class, most of the workload will be between March and May.
Please let me know if you're interested!
Thanks. Annie Lin (Campus Team Coordinator, Wikimedia Foundation) (talk) 19:29, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Terminator 2: Judgment Day, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Per our core policy WP:V: "The standard for inclusion on Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth". Please feel free to re-add the information if you can cite a reliable source to back it up, but if you cannot do so then please do not re-add the claim. --IllaZilla (talk) 02:20, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Removing AfD template
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Dreamworks-uary. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. This is an automated message from a bot about this edit, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete.

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.

Blanking sourced content
[edit]Please do not blank sourced content, as you did in this edit. The source clearly lists LStar Capital, and it should not be removed simply because you believe they are no longer involved. Variety Insight is a fact-checked database professionally maintained by the trade magazine Variety, and I generally trust it. If you have evidence that LStar Capital is no longer involved, you can raise it on the article's talk page. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 09:55, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
