User talk:Mlang.Finn

August 2010

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, Mlang.at.elisanet.fi, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to be an e-mail address, which are not valid as usernames. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best wishes, Rje (talk) 18:08, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

I have used the same username in Finnish-language Wikipedia since 2006. In my opinion, this is not a proper e-mail address per se because there is no "@" involved, and this also makes it easier to recognize my contributions. --Mlang.at.elisanet.fi (talk) 13:29, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Mlang.at.elisanet.fi, does not meet our username policy.

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

1. Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
3. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. -- Cirt (talk) 06:29, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

--Mlang.at.elisanet.fi (talk) 13:38, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

I am requesting comment from the blocking admin (unfortunately there is no "unblock-un on hold" template as yet; perhaps I should create one). I don't think we block email addresses on sight like we used to. Daniel Case (talk) 14:20, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Comment: I was about to come here and unblock, but I see the user has already been unblocked. No objections from me! :) -- Cirt (talk) 15:58, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I am going to expand Purge (novel) per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (novels). Want to help? You seem to be pretty well versed in the book. Sadads (talk) 17:59, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

January 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not replace pages with blank content, as you did with this edit to Category:Films directed by Lucile Hadzihalilovic, as this is confusing to readers. The page's content has been restored for now. If there is a problem with the page, it should be edited or reverted to a previous version if possible; if you think the page should be removed entirely, see further information. Thank you. ” T_eLeS (T _{@ L C S}) 13:14, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 16:35, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

July 2011

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Herr Pastor. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Cognate247 (talk) 20:21, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Broen-3-series.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Broen-3-series.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Steel1943 (talk) 22:15, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:TheWhiteReindeer.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:TheWhiteReindeer.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 the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:35, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

License tagging for File:Angelby-title.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Angelby-title.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 19:05, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

September 2016

Continually reinserting material that is not a feature of the Active shutter 3D system into that article is disruptive editing and a good way to an editing block. As the restoring editor, if you restore it again, you well need to produce a reference that it is a feature of that system (per WP:BURDEN). You won't be able to, of course, because it isn't. --Elektrik Fanne 14:58, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

I simply cannot understand your position. It is essential to elaborate that the “advantage” of the active shutter 3D system is often not realized. My edit has not been disruptive. I have provided a link to show that the system in question is not always realized as the description implies (“can retain full resolution”), that is, full resolution is not always retained. It is difficult to understand why you are so keen to hide such a fact. It is normal to complement information and detailed facts in an encyclopædia. I find your deletions disruptive, and will not accept them. --Mlang.Finn (talk) 15:26, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Mostly answered at the article talk page as it is relevant to the article.

As for disruptive editing: you put the claim back but failed to provide a valid reference. That is disruptive editing by definition (Item 2 of WP:DISRUPTSIGNS). It is not disruptive to remove material not supported by a valid reference - verifiability is a core policy of Wikipedia. --Elektrik Fanne 16:52, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. --Elektrik Fanne 12:19, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia. --Elektrik Fanne 16:04, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

Now you are being disgraceful and dishonest. You yourself deleted a source from the article in question, but I restored it once again. You are waging a very lonely war against one advantageous edit. So please stop your threatening. --Mlang.Finn (talk) 15:36, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

File:Midnattssol-title.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:17, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
