License tagging for Image:Purple Platypus Productions Logo (Purple).jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Purple Platypus Productions Logo (Purple).jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 20:12, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Purple Platypus Productions[edit]

The article Purple Platypus Productions has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. See also WP:COI. NawlinWiki 21:09, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Nsm.jpg[edit]

You have to explicitly indicate the name of the article that you are claiming fair use for. If you don't the image will be deleted. Corvus cornix_talk 22:10, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Purple platypus productions[edit]

A tag has been placed on Purple platypus productions requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. CiTrusD ^{Talk here!} 00:39, 26 April 2008 (UTC) [reply]

Orphaned non-free image (Image:JSFanMadeOneStep.JPG)[edit]

⚠

Thanks for uploading Image:JSFanMadeOneStep.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

May 2008[edit]

Hi, the recent edit you made to Time of My Life (David Cook Song) has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. Prom3th3an (talk) 14:58, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The recent edit you made to Time of My Life (David Cook Song) constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thanks. ——Ryan | t • c 15:22, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I only did that beacuse the name of the song is actually "THE Time of My Life," so I made a new page for it. Can I revert it back? Griffin (talk) 15:26, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Satan. Your edits appeared to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to play, please use a sandbox. Thank you. Wisdom89 _{(_T / ^C)} 16:49, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Jordin One Step.JPG)[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Jordin One Step.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box.

AfD nomination of Addicted (Ace Young song)[edit]

I have nominated Addicted (Ace Young song), an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Addicted (Ace Young song). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Image source problem with Image:HannahMontana3Cover.png[edit]

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:HannahMontana3Cover.png. 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.

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 20:17, 4 November 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NrDg 20:17, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image is NOT available at source as indicated in fair use rationale. Specify where you actually obtained this image. There are known fakes in circulation. --NrDg 20:35, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

January 2009[edit]

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. The source you are using for that new song is unreliable, please read WP:RS for further details. — Realist² 04:37, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

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.
