Hello, I'm Robvanvee. An edit that you recently made to Eminem discography seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Rob van vee 08:51, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

August 2016

Please do not blank pages, as you did with this edit to Alfamega, because it is considered vandalism; instead, use the sandbox for testing. If you think the page should be deleted, see here for what to do. Thank you. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:31, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

References

Adding references is how we ensure that content is valid. Without references, a reader can not easily validate information and there is no presumption of accuracy. This is covered by the Wikipedia policy of wp:verifiability (WP:V). Please wp:cite your edits with wp:reliable sources (RS). See Help:Referencing for beginners, Help:Citation Style 1 and wp:Inline citations. Per WP:V unsourced content can be removed. Jim1138 (talk) 07:15, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Orphaned non-free image File:B.G. in his Cash Money days.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:B.G. in his Cash Money days.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 the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:26, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did with this edit to Nelly. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. David.moreno72 13:36, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Silkk The Shocker at the 26th Annual American Music Awards on January 11,1999 at the Shine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California while wearing The No Limit chain.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Silkk The Shocker at the 26th Annual American Music Awards on January 11,1999 at the Shine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California while wearing The No Limit chain.jpg 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 "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.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Mystikal in his No Limit days.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Mystikal in his No Limit days.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

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 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.

Replaceable fair use File:Mystikal wearing a No Limit chain.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Mystikal wearing a No Limit chain.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:

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.
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. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 01:05, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:N.O.R.E. in his N.O.R.E. album.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.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:The Big Tymers in 2000.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:The Big Tymers in 2000.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 01:22, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Juvenile (rapper), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Birdman and Mike Jones. 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.

Your recent edits

Hi. I've reverted your recent edits on The Infamous. Please refrain from removing content without first discussing it at the talk page (it's rather rude to just come along and remove material that you personally don't see fit; without addressing it first). --Blastmaster11 (talk) 16:00, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I see that you've ignored my previous message and chosen to once again remove content without first discussing it at the talk page. I recommend that you read Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you continue to edit war you will be reported, which may result in your being blocked from editing. --Blastmaster11 (talk) 15:10, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

On The Infamous,the majority of the samples are not confirmed. By that, they shouldn't be listed as samples. I am only listing the confirmed samples. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MACJC (talk • contribs) 21:24, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thanks for your reply and for being civil (I transferred your comment here, as this is where this discussion started). Anyways, I added a source to the sample section, as to verify the listed content. Hope this helps. --Blastmaster11 (talk) 16:49, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Piggy Bank (song). This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Magnolia677 (talk) 10:28, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Please stop replacing the word "and" with ampersands ("&") in articles. It is not appropriate writing style for an encyclopedia. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Ampersand. Thank you. --IllaZilla (talk) 16:24, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, please stop replacing the word "and" with ampersands, and the word "number" with "#", etc., as you did at The Infamous. If you continue to do this, I will treat it as disruptive. Thank you. --IllaZilla (talk) 12:47, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Straight Outta Compton. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:58, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for persistently adding unsourced content. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Lil' Kim

Your recent editing history at Lil' Kim shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

You were just blocked yesterday. Today's block, if you edit-war again, will be longer.--Tenebrae (talk) 21:31, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I see an admin was already watching for your return to edit-warring and has blocked you for 72 hours now. Please do not edit-war at that article but discuss your issue on the talk page.--Tenebrae (talk) 21:34, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
