Citation

Hey there, and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to articles, please remember to include a citation! Thanks, --allthefoxes ^(Talk) 21:32, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

December 2015

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to 2004 Stanley Cup Finals. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:45, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Recent uploads

Hello, it appears that you have been taking the thumbnails of copyrighted images on something like Google Images, and then checking the box on the file upload form stating "this is my own work. I attest I own the copyright to this file". Claiming the copyright of material when it clearly belongs to someone else is considered a blatant copyright violation. Please stop what you are doing. All of the files that you have uploaded have been deleted on the Wikimedia Commons, where they were stored. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you need help, please see Help:Introduction to images with VisualEditor (if using the VisualEditor wizard forms) or Help:Introduction to images with Wiki Markup (if editing using the wiki markup source code).

Please note that if you want to upload copyright images, you cannot use the VisualEditor wizard interface (as that will save them on the Wikimedia Commons site, where only free content is allowed), and instead you must upload using Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard (subject to Wikipedia's strict non-free content policy). Thanks. Zzyzx11 (talk) 04:51, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

December 2015

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Super Bowl 50.

This is your last warning. If you continue to add personal unsourced opinion to articles you will be reported. Please take a moment to learn how Wikipedia works. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 13:26, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Steve Young with the Lombardi Trophy.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Steve Young with the Lombardi Trophy.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 the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Steel1943 (talk) 03:16, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Vince Lombardi Trophy with Gold 50.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Vince Lombardi Trophy with Gold 50.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

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. Steel1943 (talk) 03:36, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for May 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Consol Energy Center, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Christening. 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:46, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hockey on the ice listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Hockey on the ice. Please participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. . Right now this links to bandy, which is quite ridiculous if you ask me. Hockey on ice is ice hockey, and the redirect should justifiably go to that page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Goal Line Stand from Tigerland

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 Goal Line Stand from Tigerland 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 an organized event (tour, function, meeting, party, etc.), but it does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Unfortunately, I agree that the game doesn't merit a stand-alone article. However, your write-up was too good to waste, so I copied most of the text over to 2016 Florida Gators football team and tweaked as appropriate. Just wanted you to know... Zeng8r (talk) 22:36, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
