Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Spider Ledesma, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. ttonyb (talk) 05:15, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:The Lakewood Factor Spider in Toronto.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:The Lakewood Factor Spider in Toronto.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Peripitus (Talk) 12:01, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Spider Ledesma

Before reverting my changes again, please review WP:RS, WP:V, WP:LOGO and WP:NAVBOX to see why I made the changes to the article that I did. If you still disagree, please explain on the talk page or in the edit comments. — X96lee15 (talk) 04:24, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

August 2011

Hello ALifeOfVictory. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Spider Ledesma, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Cerejota (talk) 16:09, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
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. Cerejota (talk) 18:07, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to Wikipedia. However, please know that editors do not own articles and should respect the work of their fellow contributors on Spider Ledesma. If you create or edit an article, know that others are free to change its content. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

ANI notice

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Alan the Roving Ambassador (User:N5iln) (talk) 22:23, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:Spider Ledesma. 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. Τασουλα (Almira) (talk) 00:07, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Native American National Team in NYC.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Native American National Team in NYC.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).

PLEASE NOTE:

I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions. If you have a question, place a {{helpme}} template, along with your question, beneath this message.
I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 05:55, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Spider Ledesma

You seem to be unhappy about recent edits to Spider Ledesma. However, it's clear from Talk:Spider Ledesma and the discussion at "AN/I" to which you were invited above that yours is the minority opinion. So in Talk:Spider Ledesma please present reasoned arguments for your proposed changes and wait until you get agreement before making these changes. (I am open to rational persuasion and others are too.) If you persist in reverting without first getting agreement, you'll be blocked from editing. -- Hoary (talk) 11:12, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Uninvolved editor here, concurring. Falcon8765 ^(TALK) 11:14, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:3RR. -- Hoary (talk) 11:18, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not attack other contributors, as you did with this edit to Talk:Spider Ledesma. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. Falcon8765 ^(TALK) 11:22, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your frustration, but we have given you the reasons why, you simply aren't bothering to read them. Falcon8765 ^(TALK) 11:23, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not at all sure of that: perhaps the part about photos wasn't well explained. I'm going out to dinner now. If I return to find that you've posted a reasonable question that doesn't go on about what's usually covered by underpants, and if nobody else has answered it, then I'll try to answer it. And again, you're welcome to present reasoning for proposed changes. -- Hoary (talk) 11:29, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you make a personal attack, as you did with this edit to Talk:Spider Ledesma. Falcon8765 ^(TALK) 11:23, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for attempting to harass other users. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Just three hours, a unusually short block. When it's over, you'll be welcome to argue your case in an adult fashion. But if there's more potty-mouthing, expect a longer block. -- Hoary (talk) 11:35, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fuck you - you self-righteous creep. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ALifeOfVictory (talk • contribs) 11:37, 11 August 2011

and for that charming response, I'm extending your block another week. Please take the time to read and even study our "no personal attacks" policy and the civility page as well. You will note that telling someone "fuck you" or calling them a "self-righteous creep" breaks those policies. Policy breaking leads to blocks. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 12:34, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Due to Hoary's intervention on your behalf, I am willing to lift my block if you promise to be more civil and avoid making personal attacks. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 13:31, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for December 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Native American Olympic Team, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Native Americans (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 08:56, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Native American Olympic Team vs UC Riverside.png

A tag has been placed on File:Native American Olympic Team vs UC Riverside.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{Non-free fair use}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
