Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user talk (discussion) page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. A third option is to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator.

November 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Ruben Studdard, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. This is especially important when dealing with biographies of living people. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Thank you. Aspects 15:44, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to Carrie Underwood discography. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Aspects (talk) 03:03, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Melissa O'Neil - Album.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Melissa O'Neil - Album.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 17:21, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Girls Aloud. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Contact me if you need assistance adding references. Thank you. ~~ [Jam]^[talk] 13:43, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. Thank you. In all of your edits, you have only used the edit summary once. Please use the edit summary so other people know why you are making the changes you are making. Aspects (talk) 20:56, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

Your continuing violations of our policy on image use has earned you a block. Please use this time to read and understand WP:IUP. Your contributions to Sugababes have been reverted as they blatantly violated this policy. --Yamla (talk) 16:30, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bolding #1's

Please don't bold #1's in discographies, as it violates WP:CHARTS. Thanks. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 17:35, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Album certifications

Hi. Before you add any album certifications to an article, you should look it up first on the BPI's website and then add the bpi page it's listed on as a reference. Shayne Ward's debut album only went single-platinum. ^anemone│_projectors 18:26, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

January 2008

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did to Girls Aloud discography, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Please do not introduce incorrect album certifications into articles. Sound of the Underground has been 2x certified platinum, and Sound of Girls Aloud has been 3x certified platinum. Please check the BPI website before changing certification information in future. ~~ [Jam]^[talk] 17:11, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please make note of our guidelines about non-free content. We are not permitted to use album covers on articles about the artist when those images are being used on the album articles. If you continue to add them to other articles, you could be blocked from editing. --Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 02:44, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Kate DeAraugo2.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Kate DeAraugo2.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Image use policy

Ryan, I know that this has been brought up with you before, but have you familiarized yourself with our image use policies? Your recent edits [1] [2] and uploads raise concern. Please undo the image use violations; I would rather not see you blocked for this again. Also, while I'm here, could I ask you please to use the "show preview" button? Your multiple changes to articles such as Eva Avila are unnecessary and it is often unclear what changes you are attempting, especially since you do not use edit summaries. Thanks, and do feel free to ask questions. --Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 22:21, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Flagicons

I removed the flagicons you added to Casey Donovan (singer), Kate DeAraugo, Ben Lummis and Rosita Vai. Please read Wikipedia:Manual of Style (flags) before adding flagicons to any more articles. Specifically, please read Wikipedia:Manual of Style (flags)#Not for use in locations of birth and death for not adding flagicons to represent the places people were born or died in.

The X Factor (UK)

Hi

With this edit you removed {{fact}} tags, but made no effort to provide any references to replace them - please don't do this. Wikipedia relies on verifiability; {{fact}} tags are how we communicate to readers and other editors that references are missing and should be found. As such you should only remove {{fact}} tags when adding references, not merely changing the text.

Love In A Million Shades

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Love In A Million Shades, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Lovers (Hanna Pakarinen album). It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally moving or duplicating content, please be sure you have followed the procedure at Wikipedia:Splitting by acknowledging the duplication of material in edit summary to preserve attribution history.

This message was placed automatically, and 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 and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:39, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Sensuroimaton Versio.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Sensuroimaton Versio.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 seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

ATTENTION: This is an automated, bot-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:04, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
