Your submission at Articles for creation: Sophia Beatty (January 28)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by KylieTastic were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Sophia Beatty and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Concern regarding Draft:Sophia Beatty

Hello, LordBirdWord. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Sophia Beatty, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 22:01, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Sophia Beatty

Hello, LordBirdWord. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Sophia Beatty".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:56, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

December 2023

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contribution(s). However, as a general rule, while user talk pages permit a small degree of generalisation, other talk pages such as Talk:Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are strictly for discussing improvements to their associated main pages, and many of them have special instructions on the top. They are not a general discussion forum about the article's topic or any other topic. If you have questions or ideas and are not sure where to post them, consider asking at the Teahouse. Thanks. Cannolis (talk) 22:26, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unrelated content

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate that you enjoy using Wikipedia, please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a free webhosting service. Wikipedia is not a place to post personal content, host personal websites, or do things that are not directly related to adding to or improving the encyclopedia. Off-topic material may be deleted at any time. This message is not meant to discourage you from editing Wikipedia but rather to remind you that the ultimate goal of this website is to build an encyclopedia. Thank you.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:02, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Allan Parker (March 4)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Robert McClenon were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people).

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines for sports persons and athletes). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft, as written, does not appear to indicate that one of the biographical notability criteria is satisfied. If one of the criteria is satisfied, please revise this draft appropriately, with a reliable source, if necessary stating on the talk page or in AFC comments which criterion is met, and resubmit. It is the responsibility of the submitter to show that a subject satisfies a notability criterion.

You may ask for advice about the biographical notability criteria at the Teahouse.

In particular, see and refer to WP:NSPORTS for notability, which is the guideline that the subject should be evaluated against.

The title of this draft either has been disambiguated or will need to be disambiguated for acceptance.

If this draft is accepted, the disambiguation page will need to be edited. Either an entry will need to be added, or an entry will need to be revised.

The disambiguation page for the primary name is Alan Parker (disambiguation).

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Allan Parker and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Alan Parker (disambiguation)

Please note that disambiguation pages like Alan Parker (disambiguation) are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:

Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory

Problems with upload of File:Jason Karroll.webp

Thanks for uploading File:Jason Karroll.webp. 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.

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

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 23:30, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Jason Palmer Website.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Jason Palmer Website.jpeg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sounder Bruce 03:12, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Toad AndyJ.jpeg

A tag has been placed on File:Toad AndyJ.jpeg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a copyright violation of https://www.foxcarolina.com/2024/02/29/here-are-10-libertarian-candidates-2024-nc-primary-election/ and has no credible claim of fair use or permission. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 "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 deleted 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. reppop^talk 03:41, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:Allan Parker Baseball Card Kernals.webp

Thank you for uploading File:Allan Parker Baseball Card Kernals.webp. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Vladlen Manilov ✉ / 03:42, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello LordBirdWord! While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source. You must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. Read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Our policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 03:49, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Being publicly accessible is not the same thing as being public domain. -- Whpq (talk) 03:50, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for all of this information. I believe this is about the photo uploading. I believe I had the full right to upload “Jason Karrol.webp”, and people said so too. I also cropped the “Jason Palmer Website.jpeg” so that should be public domain. I 100% get why any files of Toad Anderson are getting deleted. I 100% understand the copyright issues, and I will not in the future. LordBirdWord (talk) 03:54, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You screenshotting and cropping an image does not make it your image nor does it make it public domain. The image is still copyrighted by the photographer who took it. The Karrol photograph also needs to give permission through VRT, a simple statement saying that they gave permission on the file page and nowhere else doesn't do much. reppop^talk 03:59, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How can I take down some of the photos? LordBirdWord (talk) 04:09, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can add {{db-author}} to files you uploaded to request their deletion. -- Whpq (talk) 04:14, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 California Libertarian presidential primaries moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, 2024 California Libertarian presidential primaries, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: 2024 California Libertarian presidential primaries (March 8)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by AngusWOOF was:

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at 2024 Libertarian Party presidential primaries. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Not enough information to warrant a separate article at this time.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:2024 California Libertarian presidential primaries and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

License tagging for File:Crusifino Fight at Crystal River FL Feb. 9 2024.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Crusifino Fight at Crystal River FL Feb. 9 2024.jpeg. 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Crusifino Fight at Crystal River FL Feb. 9 2024.jpeg

A tag has been placed on File:Crusifino Fight at Crystal River FL Feb. 9 2024.jpeg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file licensed as "for non-commercial use only", "no derivative use", "for Wikipedia use only", or "used with permission"; and it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
add the relevant copyright tag and if necessary, a complete fair use rationale.

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 "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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. ⟲ Three Sixty! ^Talk? _Work. 20:15, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should review the guide to appealing blocks, and then appeal your block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}}. Note that anything you post in your unblock request will be public, so you may alternatively use the Unblock Ticket Request System to submit an appeal if it contains information that must be private.

A question about my block: if I see an issue on an article, is there a way to contact an editor to ask them to fix it? LordBirdWord (talk) 21:30, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, how can I apply for the standard offer? LordBirdWord (talk) 11:03, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

LordBirdWord (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I was using this account to edit Wikipedia. I thought I was using it to help out Wikipedia, and to add pictures and information to it. I’m not sure what I did wrong, and the only other account from this address is my brothers (he’s young and uses my phone for stuff) :I hope we can sort this out quickly and effectively!

Decline reason:

This excuse simply doesn't work here. See WP:LITTLEBROTHER. Yamla (talk) 20:42, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Questions about my Block

@Courcelles@Yamla My question is, is there a way to contact another editor and tell them that a pages information needs to be updated? What would be the most suitable way to do this until September? Thanks! LordBirdWord (talk) 01:30, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't do this. Note also that you won't be automatically unblocked in six months, it's just the soonest you can apply under WP:SO. --Yamla (talk) 11:19, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay thank you! And I do know this. Thanks! LordBirdWord (talk) 01:35, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Yamla @Courcelles

How may I apply for the standard offer? LordBirdWord (talk) 23:12, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is clearly explained in WP:SO and WP:GAB. If you have specific questions, you are free to ask. --Yamla (talk) 22:33, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Editing while logged out

Hi, I notice that you've been uploading images to Commons (where you aren't blocked), and that the IP 24.73.80.178 (talk · contribs · logs) has been adding them to Wikipedia articles shortly afterwards.

If this is you, you should be aware that editing while logged out counts as WP:BLOCKEVASION. Asking other people to edit Wikipedia for you because you're blocked is also not permitted. Belbury (talk) 08:02, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unblocking

page:

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

LordBirdWord (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I believe I learned my lesson. I was blocked for sockpuppeting, and I know I learned my lesson. I created the account to vote in a deletion conversation, which I now know is wrong. I should’ve just accepted my article wasn’t notable enough. I also started contributing to the Simple English Wikipedia, and created many articles since to help grow that project. I have to admit, I was almost blocked on Wikimedia Commons for Copyright Infringement. I regret it, but luckily I learned my lesson before getting blocked. I hope you consider unblocking me. I believe I changed, and if I return and it seems like I’m not and I get blocked, then I will go. LordBirdWord (talk) 03:38, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Confirmed block evasion as ColtPamella23 and as WP:LOUTSOCK. You have clearly not learned anything and are demonstrating you haven't the slightest intention of abiding by our policies. Your claim that you didn't know it was wrong to set up a new account to cast a vote until you were caught is deeply, deeply problematic as well. You are now far closer to a community ban under WP:3X than you are to having your block lifted. You have one final chance to take an entirely different approach. No more editing. Zero. None at all. For six months. Then apply under WP:SO. If you are caught evading your block yet again, that will be the end of it and you will be considered banned by the community. Yamla (talk) 10:43, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
