Hello, ThePianoMan76

Thank you for your inquiry into the Michael Pitts (preacher) page. I am happy to give any supporting information necessary. If you are looking for a balanced unbiased Wikipedia, then you should thank me for even adding that section. I couldn't believe that Michael Pitts has two Drunk Driving convictions and not a single one on here (despite other Wikipedia editors trying to remove this entire section completely.) I have not made up any of these criminal activities, if you do not like them perhaps you should speak with Michael Pitts himself and ask him to stop breaking the law. Just because I have added them to Wikipedia to make his page more complete does not mean I am "determined to attach as much negative information as possible". I'm interested in the truth and if Michael Pitts did these things then it deserves to be on his page.

Your references were mixed up and your write up very confusing so my edit today was to straighten that out. Michael Pitts was not convicted on his second charge of Trespassing / Indecent Exposure. Instead this case was thrown out all together. Which is why I have now fixed that once more on his page. It appears to be that you are coming from a point of defense with your allegations. I have added a summary because you decided to change the order of each conviction (still not sure why you did this).

If you are truly concerned about Warring, then you might take care to notice that you are in danger of doing just that according to the "3 Revert Rule".

Due to your concern I'm requesting the aid of an Administrator to review these edits and keep this page as clean as possible.

"Wysiwyg3006,

After reviewing your additions to the Michael Pitts page, it seems that you are very determined to attach as much negative information as possible. My recent additions were made after hours of research on the matter, and carry as many references as are available. I made them to add a neutral point of view.

Warring is never acceptable on Wikipedia, and I believe your additions and editions are bordering this. To date, you have not had any input that was not inclusive of negative media, nor in any section other than "Scandals" or "Controversy". — Preceding unsigned comment added by ThePianoMan76 (talk • contribs) 23:35, 14 July 2014 (UTC)"

Recent edit

Re this edit. I'm not going to revert it, but can I suggest that you might want to think twice about keeping it. If you'll do a little searching on the Web, you'll find that the publication referred to in that edit, Heritage Registry of Who's Who, is a disreputable publication which does nothing more than sell merchandise — copies of the book, award plaques, etc. — to unsophisticated individuals who have been "honored" by inclusion in their meaningless list. They've also been sued or challenged in a couple of states for fax spamming (search on the publisher's name "Heritage Biographical Publications") and if you'll pay close attention to the search results (also here), their office address changes continuously. Including this does nothing for Pitts' reputation and if he claims it for himself, such as on his C.V. or resume, it just makes him look gullible. Furthermore, whoever gave the information to the Toledo Blade didn't even get the honor right. If you'll look at this example of an award letter from that publisher, it says that "The Directors of the Heritage Registry of Who's Who (TM) take pleasure in announcing the inclusion of such-and-such in the forthcoming ... edition." The name of the publication is not "Directors of the Heritage Registry of Who's Who" and the "honoree" is not being made a director, so saying either of those things is laughably wrong. Frankly, inclusion of this comes very close to damning Pitts with faint praise. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 16:43, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Cornerstone Church building.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Cornerstone Church building.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. Whpq (talk) 00:24, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I believe I have resolved the issue. Thanks for the heads up.

File permission problem with File:Cornerstone Church Maumee Campus.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Cornerstone Church Maumee Campus.jpg. 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 {{OTRS 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. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on 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. Whpq (talk) 02:27, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Cornerstone Church (Toledo)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Cornerstone Church (Toledo), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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.
