Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia.

User:Johnthemicro/sandbox

I have deleted User:Johnthemicro/sandbox as a blatant and obvious hoax. Do not add it to Wikipedia again. ~ GB fan 18:40, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's a sandbox, I thought that's where we could put what we felt was necessary to build it? Johnthemicro (talk) 19:54, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That is where drafts of legitimate articles can go. This was a blatant and obvious hoax and it belongs no where on Wikipedia. ~ GB fan 19:57, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain how you can get to Hoax? This site's moderators need to review the meaning of hoax. Johnthemicro (talk) 20:08, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

All the sources available about this so called micronation except one was from the Kingdom of Catan itself. The one that isn't from the Kingdom of Catan is a blog. The Catan Broadcasting Agency has reporters such as Jenny Shepard and Robert McKee. Other than in Facebook and in the Kingdom of Catan's website the Catan Broadcasting Company does not exist. Not a single legitimate news organisation has ever written about the Kingdom of Catan. This is so obviously a hoax. ~ GB fan 20:22, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Here's my advice then - call Downing Street or the White House and ask? Johnthemicro (talk) 11:08, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Dewhirst and James Mitchell.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Dewhirst and James Mitchell.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, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. B (talk) 23:31, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
