Hello, I'm Kevintampa5. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Mark Henry, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Image without license

Unspecified source/license for File:Abysmal-Leveling 500.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Abysmal-Leveling 500.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)} 03:45, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Alex Hirsch.png

Thanks for uploading File:Alex Hirsch.png. 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. Stefan2 (talk) 20:04, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Alex Hirsch.png

Thank you for uploading File:Alex Hirsch.png. 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, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Non-free rationale for File:Alex Hirsch.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Alex Hirsch.png. 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. Stefan2 (talk) 20:04, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Murphy Brown, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 13:49, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Chaheel Riens. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Jimmy Savile, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear.

Proposed deletion of File:Digimon the movie soundtrack.jpg

The file File:Digimon the movie soundtrack.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-free album cover being used in a decorative manner in Digimon: The Movie#Soundtrack. Non-free album cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about albums, but its use in other articles is generally only allowed when the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained in WP:NFC#cite_note-3 and the context for non-free use required by WP:NFCC#8 is evident. There is no such commentary for this particular album cover anywhere in the article, and the use of soundtrack album cover art in articles about films or TV programs is generally not allowed for this reason as explained in WP:FILMSCORE.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:47, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A thank you message.

Hello there Stephen "Zap", just wanted to say thank you for fixing the issue on the article List of programs broadcast by TBS on the current programming live-action comedy section. When I tried to fix it, an automatic Wikipedia Robot think I vandalized the article when I wasn't, and that I was fixing the article to make the article clean and make since. So thanks again for fixing the problem. I owe you one!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Independent contracting in the United States, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Producer.

See the talk page here: Talk:List of people executed in the United States in 2022 as to why I reverted that edit.

An article you recently created, Lee Lawson, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?)

Numbuh 10 Voice Actress

Apologies for replying so late, but I believe Kim Mai Guest might be Numbuh 10's VA.

Main clues being:

A: Kim is credited in both of her appearances, and would've otherwise not voiced anyone

B: 10's previously credited VA's (Tara Strong most notably) don't match their other credited voices

C: Many characters in KND strangely do not have their VA's properly credited following Season 4

D: 10's voice is similar to that of some of Kim's other roles, namely Katma from Young Justice.

E: Numbuh 10's voice is similar in both of her major appearances, and Kim Mai Guest is the only VA to be credited in both episodes where she appears.
