October 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Lisa Donovan has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.youtube.com/lisanova (matching the regex rule \byoutube\.com). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. Video links are also strongly deprecated by our guidelines for external links, partly because they're useless to people with slow internet connections.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 15:46, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome....

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although I'm sure you are doing it out of love for your subject, I noticed you keep deleting the same thing and trying to jam an unlicensed image onto Wikipedia. That's not how we do things here, so please refrain from such activity. If you need help, ask around. PS. The current image on the Lisa Nova page is fine until we get a better one. Don't be so wild about things, eh? Nesnad (talk) 18:53, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added such as to the page Lisa Donovan do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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.

This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did to Lisa Donovan, you will be blocked from editing. Gpia7r (talk) 19:12, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You have been temporarily blocked from editing for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Cirt (talk) 19:28, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As per your request, this block has been cancelled. Stifle (talk) 08:36, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

linking images

Once a file has been uploaded, you do not need to include the full URL in order to add it to an article. You can simply use the images name in a internal link. So, for example

File:LisaNovaPic.jpg

Lisa Nova

[[File:LisaNovaPic.jpg|thumb|right|Lisa Nova]] produces what you see to the right. If you are adding the image to an infobox, leave off the "File:" prefix, and type the caption into the appropriate field. I'm sorry an overzealous editor took your attempts to do this as vandalism instead of trying to explain this themselves. We have a great team of editors in the Counter Vandalism Unit that try to stop bad-intentioned people from disrupting Wikipedia articles, but sometimes they get in too big of a hurry and can't see when someone is simply having a problem as opposed to deliberately damaging articles. If you have further trouble with similar issues in the future, try adding a {{helpme}} tag to your talk page with a question posted beneath it, you can usually get assistance within just a few minutes.

File permission problem with File:LisaNovaPic.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:LisaNovaPic.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 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. Hekerui (talk) 19:26, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
