Image source problem with Image:Tom.klemesrud.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Tom.klemesrud.jpg. 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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. 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. 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 specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:03, 24 March 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Genisock2 (talk) 16:03, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Links

I provided some answers on my talkpage. But, per this link:

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged.

December 2020

Hello, I'm Liz. I noticed that you made a comment on the page User talk:Muboshgu#Brad Raffensperger that didn't seem very civil, so it may have been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:53, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(Personal attack removed) In lieu of blocking you, Tom, I have removed your personal attack. You can find comments given to you in response in the page's edit history. Please do not make unsubstantiated claims against other editors here on Wikipedia. If you want to file a complaint, with evidence, go to ANI but be warned that you'll be subject to evaluation, too. Most admins would have given you an indefinite block so please do not replace this content on your user talk page or anywhere else. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:30, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know who put the redirect to 'Tom Theo Klemesrud' but my name is Tom Klemesrud. My middle name is Theodore, or Ted. Theo has some Greek meaning for god; and I do not want that associated with my name. Tomklem (talk) 14:57, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple accounts

Tom, you need to log in every single time you edit or comment. Don't use IPs. Only use this Tomklem account. -- Valjean (talk) 17:22, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What are you accusing me of? Tomklem (talk) 18:40, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You are using multiple accounts, and that is not allowed except under certain very special conditions. You have used these accounts, and likely more:

Not true. Please user:Valjean stop spamming my email. Do what you gotta do,Tomklem (talk) 21:18, 4 January 2021 (UTC) and I'll take it from there.[reply]

What is not true? BTW, I have never emailed you. As far as "what you gotta do", I don't have to do anything, but I'm trying to peacefully and civilly get you to adapt to our ways here. There are things that are allowed and things that are not allowed. By informing you, I'm giving you a chance to avoid trouble. That's all. -- Valjean (talk) 22:59, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:Valjean This morning I couldn't "avoid trouble." My regular computer would not even boot. Is that the kind of trouble you are helping me avoid? Tomklem (talk) 23:11, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bummer! My sympathies. My problem today? I've accidentally created duplicates of all my music, so my iTunes music library has twice the volume, and I'm deleting the duplicates one by one. I have about 10,000 songs. This will take a long time. Life was simpler before PCs and the internet. I'm not a computer geek, so this really irritates. BTW, we're the same age. -- Valjean (talk) 01:07, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tom, if you go into your Preferences (at the top of the page when you are logged in), you can change your Notifications so you are not sent a message whenever a change is made to your user talk page (uncheck boxes at Preferences>User profile>Email Options). Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:31, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

COI editing

Tom, above you have been warned about editing because of your COI, yet you have persisted by using IPs. Don't do that. Use the talk page to make suggestions. If other editors find merit in your suggestions and concerns, then they can fix the issues in the article. -- Valjean (talk) 17:46, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

January 2021

I have removed your rant with personal attacks at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion. You are very lucky not to be blocked; if you put that request back, you will be. You may request undeletion in a decent way if you wish, but not with attacks on another user's motives, references to their Twitter account and who they follow, and that nonsense about cancel culture. The request is supposed to consist of reasons why you think the article should be undeleted, nothing else. Also, using Wikipedia:Deletion review would be more logical, as Vanamonde has already told you. Bishonen | tålk 22:20, 8 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]

I want that put back as part of the record, please; in case this winds up in a courtroom. Tomklem (talk) 22:32, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is on the record, in the history. I should think you'd be sorry, in this case, because it can surely only embarrass you in any courtroom. But what do I know. Here is your post. So far, anyway. Another admin may well find it so offensive they Revision delete it. Bishonen | tålk 23:13, 8 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Then you will enjoy those days. Tomklem (talk) 00:06, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's the thing about free speech--it can be so offensive to another admin pseudonym. I am here to fight CANCEL CULTURE taking place here on Wikipedia, actions repugnant to the spirit of Section 230 of the CDA, and Section 512 of the DMCA, which were inspired by my legal case with Scientology. Tomklem (talk) 00:20, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 00:26, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Some users may be interested in building an encyclopedia in accordance with Wikipedia's principles, but with different areas of focus or approach to some other users' goals or emphases. Differences that arise where both users are in good faith hoping to improve the project should not be mistaken for "not being here to build an encyclopedia". Template:NOTNOTHERE Tomklem (talk) 22:09, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your explanation of your intended use of Wikipedia to "fight CANCEL CULTURE taking place here on Wikipedia, actions repugnant to the spirit of Section 230 of the CDA, and Section 512 of the DMCA, which were inspired by my legal case" and your recent disruption in pursuit of your cause, puts you squarely in WP:NOTHERE territory.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 00:26, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

NO, I was fighting for an undelete of my article in order to fight CANCEL CULTURE taking place here on Wikipedia. Tomklem (talk) 22:09, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am here to preserve my legacy, and I will fight you for years to restore it. See the Afd. I really don't care to join this jargonistic Rube-Goldberg kludge cult. Tomklem (talk) 00:59, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notoriety

Be careful that your actions here don't damage your reputation. Please read Wikipedia:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing and Streisand effect. "Pride goeth before a fall."

Also, drop the legal threats. You have no case. -- Valjean (talk) 04:52, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Free speech

See [1]. If you add any more bs to this page, I will remove your access to editing it. Bishonen | tålk 08:01, 9 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Cancel culture

You repeatedly assert that you are a victim of cancel culture because of your political support of Trump. That is totally false. We don't operate that way here. Once again, you are seeking to misuse Wikipedia to further your political aims. It's okay to have personal political POV, but don't try to claim you are being persecuted because of them. The deletion of your biography had nothing to do with politics. Bishonen, is it time to block Tom's access to this page? -- Valjean (talk) 00:29, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

With some hesitation, Valjean, since you're provoking them. But this is so egregious that, yes. Valjean, please now stop posting here also. Bishonen | tålk 04:05, 10 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]
