Image copyright problem with Image:Jimmy Cars.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Jimmy Cars.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 01:36, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
You are in danger of violating WP:3RR, the three revert rule, a rule about reverting over and over on a page. Please stop. If you persist, administrators will be notified. The films are NOT sequels, and there is NO actual production on a Spiderman 4. As such, listing that movie would violate WP:CRYSTAL, which basically reminds us that Wikipedia shouldn't try to predict the future. Please stop attempting to insert such information.

Any constructive work on an article is appreciated, but some of the revisions you have made to the Universal Studios Florida article detract from the quality of the article. The article should refrain from mimicking the park's advertising media ("peacock words"). It should also not repeat itself or appear redundant. It also should get the attraction/facility names right; Universal's promotional media does not call the show "Blue Man Group Live". I can send you a scan of Universal's current guide map (I collect the things) as proof.
Most importantly, it should not include rumors or speculation. If you have any proof that Jimmy Neutron is closing to be replaced by Hollywood Dream, such as a press release from Universal, or construction plans submitted to a government agency revealing this information, please include it and do not change the article on a whim. In a similar vein, it really isn't in the scope of Wikipedia to keep track of attraction closures or renovations. The exception to that is if the renovation is making a significant change (such as Earthquake becoming Disaster!).
I'm not saying that the information is wrong; in fact, I hope that a new roller coaster is coming to the park. The key to Wikipedia is "verifiability." If you have any questions, please consult Wikipedia's help pages, or ask me. I don't know everything there is to know, but I'd be glad to help. Thanks again for your editing work.

- I did read your response on my talk page, and no apology is necessary, my friend. I'll scan the most recent ads for Blue Man Group and/or anything else you'd like and post them as pictures here on your talk page. I can't think of any other secure way to do it that wouldn't include posting either of our e-mail addresses for all the world to see. Just let me know what all you would like.
- For all we know, you're 100% right on everything you've posted. The problem is that Wikipedia's standard is that the article is verifiable. Universal Studios hasn't announced Hollywood Dream, or any closures of any attractions that would be in its way. Similarly, USF has announced Jaws' pending rehab period; however, as I mentioned before, that's not really what Wikipedia is about. If you look at some of the more "serious" articles here (those of a scientific or historical bent), they're very well written and contain numerous sources. The pop-culture articles (those on TV shows, movies and, yes, amusement parks) sometimes read more like fansites, not encyclopedia articles. My personal goal is to make the pop-culture articles more like the serious articles.
- Hollywood Dream (or as I've heard it, "Project Rumble") is definitely something to follow, especially with USF getting The Simpsons in 2008 and Harry Potter getting underway next door at IOA. It's going to be an exciting couple of years for Universal Orlando, and I hope we can work together with other Wiki editors to make the articles on the resort better than ever. If you discover something (rumor or otherwise), I'd post it on the article's talk page and ask for assistance in finding a verifiable source. Your scoop may dig up a totally new expansion to the article! :)
- Again, thank you for your work on the articles. I know you're working in good faith, which is always a step in the right direction. Message me anytime.
