The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Speedy deletion nomination of Black Square (painting)

[edit]

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 Black Square (painting) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://slippedisc.com/2017/12/worst-cd-cover-of-2017/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 deleted 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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Kramer (musician), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Let It Come Down (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar 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) 06:21, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Courtesy notice - general sanctions for BLP articles

[edit]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Orphaned non-free image File:A Place in the Country by W.G. Sebald.jpg

[edit]
⚠
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:A Place in the Country by W.G. Sebald.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 section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:36, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Getting unblocked

[edit]

Actually, the reason I blocked you didn't have to do with image related copyright violations, it was text related- for example, your article The Hundred Brothers had its plot summary and style sections copied from this Guardian source. Another example is your creation of Elect Mr. Robinson for a Better World- the plot summary was copied from Publisher's Weekly. If you to be unblocked, you should address the text side of things more in depth, and commit to not copying from sources. Books don't need plot summaries, you don't need to copy one form a source to fill it in. If you haven't read the book, and you're not sure what to write for the plot summary without copying from another source, than just don't include a plot summary.

I see. I was not trying to deflect, I actually was confused here—I saw the notices that those articles had been flagged when I logged back in after a six month hiatus (I tend to be a seasonal/winter) contributor but misunderstood/thought the issue had to with images on those pages. I appreciate that I need to improve my involvement/awareness/literacy when it comes to talk page discussions and administrative layers of discourse vs. simply editing/adding citations. I also appreciate yr critique relating to (what I assume must have been) thin and/or unnecessary paraphrases from secondary sources. That was sloppy of me. What, at this point, can I do to redeem these errors of judgment (if anything)? ThomasMikael (talk) 12:27, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply you were deflecting; I could have been more specific in my original block notice. I honestly think your reply here demonstrates enough of an understanding of what was done wrong (a lot more than most blocked for this), so I will unblock you now- please be careful in future. Moneytrees🏝️Talk/CCI guide 21:58, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
