[edit]
Please do not attack other editors, as you did at User talk:JJMC89. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 17:32, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
- Understood. WeaponizingArchitecture (talk) 17:33, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
- The reason the Red Wings logo was removed from the userbox you created by JJMC89 bot was because that file is licensed as non-free content and non-free content can only be used when it complies with Wikipedia's non-free content use policy; more specifically, non-free content can only be used in the article namespace per non-free content use criterion #9. So, this means it cannot be used in userboxes as explained here. You seem to be a relatively new editor and nobody is expecting a relatively new user to have all of Wikipedia's various policies and guidelines memorized; in fact, nobody is expecting a more experienced user to have done that. However, when an edit is made that you don't quite understand, there might have been an edit summary left like this which explains why. Of course, even an edit summary can sometimes be hard to understand, and in such cases it's perfectly OK to try and seek further clarification from the editor who made the edit. What you actually posted on JJMC89's user talk page probably was just posted out of frustration, and everybody gets frustrated every now and then. If, however, you make a habit out of "getting frustrated" and posting uncivil comments on talk pages, particularly the user talk pages of Wikipedia administrators like JJMC89, then you may find your account being blocked without warning. Your user page and its subpages are not "your stuff" in an ownership sense as explained here, but other editors will leave them be for the most part as long as you don't try and use them in ways they're not supposed to be used or add content to them that's not supposed to be added. If you want to add an image to the userbox you created, then perhaps you'll find one in c:Category:Detroit Red Wings that would work. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:02, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, i was pretty frustrated with this. Thank you for clarification. WeaponizingArchitecture (talk) 22:19, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Image without license
[edit]Unspecified source/license for File:NorthlandWEB.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:NorthlandWEB.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 after 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-4.0}} (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) 01:01, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
Non-free rationale for File:NorthlandWEB.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:NorthlandWEB.jpg. 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 in section F6 of the 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. Salavat (talk) 02:15, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
- I am aware, and it's for an article that is in WIP (see List of tallest buildings by County (Michigan)). I am unsure what to put on it, as i got it from a news website. Feel free to ask me anything. Thanks! WeaponizingArchitecture (talk) 02:18, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
Your userboxes
[edit]
Hi WeaponizingArchitecture, I'm Primefac. You'll likely not be pleased about this but I have removed some of your edits because they reveal too much personally identifiable information about you. We have a policy of protecting editors' safety by hiding such information if they share it. I'm really sorry about having to suppress your edits, and I know it's annoying, but it's for the best. Please don't re-add the information. For some useful information on privacy and safety, you can take a look at Wikipedia:Guidance for younger editors and Wikipedia:On privacy, confidentiality and discretion. Thank you, and sorry for messing about with your edits! Primefac (talk) 09:57, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
- alright. Thanks for letting me know. WeaponizingArchitecture (talk) 16:36, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:NorthlandWEB.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:NorthlandWEB.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) 20:11, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for August 26
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Oakland County, Michigan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page David Coulter. 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.)
