Teabagging

A screenshot of a character in Halo 3 crouching over another player is not proof that "teabagging is often used in video games." That was a picture of a player crouching. You'll have to find a reliable source that calls it "teabagging" if you want to include that in the article, or it counts as original research. Does Halo 3 have a button for teabagging? No? Then it's not teabagging. --Pixelface 16:37, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material. Editors should provide a reliable source for any material or it may be removed. Those URLs you left on my talk page are all self-published sources. Anyone can upload a video to YouTube and describe it however they want and anyone can answer questions at Yahoo! Answers. I suggest you find a gaming magazine or a gaming website (not a blog, not a clan site) that uses the term and cite it in the article. --Pixelface 00:02, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All the material I removed was unsourced. Something may be true, but if it's not verifiable, it doesn't belong on Wikipedia. Thank you for providing a reference. I appreciate it. --Pixelface 19:31, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 10:58, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Halo3-teabagging.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Halo3-teabagging.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 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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. BetacommandBot 13:27, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Halo3-teabagging.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Halo3-teabagging.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Oni Ookami Alfador^Talk|@ 18:16, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
