Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Ray Mercer, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted (undone) by ClueBot NG.

Welcome

[edit]

Hi! Welcome to Wikipedia; I see you've been editing articles about subjects that interest you. Unfortunately, it seems that in two cases you copied text from other websites into Wikipedia articles. This violates Wikipedia's copyright policy, so I had to undo some of your work. Take a look at Wikipedia:Copy-paste and Wikipedia:Copyright violations for more information about what's okay and what's not, and let me know if you have any questions. Happy editing! —Emufarmers(T/C) 12:22, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:Hard Knocks.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Hard Knocks.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) 15:07, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File Copyright problem
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Shannon Briggs.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, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. 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 created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 10:43, 13 February 2011 (UTC). 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. Fut.Perf. 10:43, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Larry Holmes.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Boxing articles

[edit]

Just wanted to say great work on the boxing articles you have added professional records too, must have been very time-consuming! I've amended a few of them as there were some inconsistencies on showing national or sub-national (state/province) flags; generally each article should consistently show either the national flag or state/province. Thanks again! Zarcadia (talk) 21:30, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll second that. You continue to do good work on the pro records. Regarding flags, Wikipedia's Manual of Style says: Do not use subnational flags without direct relevance. That would include state and provincial flags in boxing articles, unless related to a state or provincial championship.--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 19:22, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Boxing records

[edit]

Would you please stop editing the boxing records background colors. It is very annoying that you spoil and ruin other peoples work. So stop doing it, and edit the right background color back.

Thanks.—Preceding unsigned comment added by David-golota (talkcontribs) 23:23, 14 May 2011 (UTC) [reply]

There are some problems with the changes you've been making to the Professional boxing record sections:
  • You are removing the time of stoppages. Why?
  • Notes - Many of the additions to the Notes column are good, but there are some problems. Wording like "Williams was pummeling Tyson, slamming him into the ropes" and "monstrous right hand" are not the right tone for Wikipedia. "Lewis was undertrained" is an unattributed opinion.
--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 08:44, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, the fight summaries only belong in the career section (or equivalent) of a boxer. The record tables are meant to show the results and significance of the bouts, not the details of what happened in each round. Also, why are you making a large number of edits to an article and then undoing them all (e.g. Jerry Quarry)? —LOL T/C 03:22, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Boxing#Appropriate content for Notes column of record tables about what should be included in the notes of boxing records. Please participate and let us know your opinion so we can try to reach a consensus.--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 21:34, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Crawford Grimsley, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.hardcoreboxing.net/Chodash8102006.htm.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 14:15, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Crawford Grimsley requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

3RR

[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on George Foreman. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

  1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.LOL T/C 04:47, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jack Dempsey

[edit]

I saw you deleted his full rec box and changed it to the one with only his most famous fights. The format you changed it to is more widely used on boxers pages not arguing about that, the one Dempsey had was approved by Wikiproject:Boxing when it was created and it lists all his known fights. Before you revert it again plz explain. It doesnt have to get 3RR war on this.Marty Rockatansky (talk) 00:40, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lennox Lewis

[edit]

Hi, I see you would like to make some changes to the Professional boxing record section. I have some concerns with some of these changes. Could you please discuss these issues on the article's talk page so we can work towards a version that represents consensus?--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 19:33, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop edit warring. Try to resolve this by discussion on the article's talk page to try to reach consensus.--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 21:56, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.

Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Dates on Joe Frazier article

[edit]

Hello Michael,

I see that you changed all the dates from mdy to non-US-style slash dates in this series of edits. Please note that slash-dates are potentially ambiguous as "03/04/2005" could refer to 3 April or to March 4. The format is therefore discouraged in our guidelines. I have undone that change.

Possibly unfree File:John Robert Cocker.jpg

[edit]

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:John Robert Cocker.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you object to the listing for any reason. Thank you. Edgars2007 (talk/contribs) 07:33, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:John Robert Cocker.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:John Robert Cocker.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 15:54, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Location "Denver" in Kempton Park, South Africa?

[edit]

Hi 19michael1990.

Way back in March 2011, in the article on the South African boxer, Corrie Sanders, it appears you were adding the table of his championship fights in the section "Professional boxing record". (e.g. https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Corrie_Sanders&oldid=420187541)

I notice though that the location of his last two fights are still given, in the current page, as Emperor's Palace, Kempton Park, Denver, Gauteng, South Africa. I don't think the "Denver" part is correct, as the link points to Denver in the US. Also there is no "Denver" near Kempton Park in South Africa to my knowledge. I am not sure why these links to Denver were added. I think these two entries are mistakes and "Denver" should be removed?

Orphaned non-free image File:Charles Sonny Liston.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Charles Sonny Liston.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) 18:09, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
