Orphaned non-free media (Image:JLambert.jpg)[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:JLambert.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. Melesse (talk) 11:43, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

May 2010[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for repeated abuse of editing privileges. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. --Bongwarrior (talk) 05:44, 18 May 2010 (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).

Request reason:

I should not be blocked, because I was simply following what Dan Tosh said I was free to do. Not only that, I was neither disrespectful or profane in my posting on Tosh.0. In addition, I have been a respectful, tactful, and accurate editor of numerous articles in several categories on wikipedia. Check my histories for verification. I simply did what I was told to do on Tosh.0's page. Blocking me is hypocritical of both your guidelines, as well as the standard practices of wikipedia. My posting on Tosh.0's page was in no way profane or offensive. Therefore, I wish to appeal this block. My past histories, as well as my conduct, show I have been a respectful and informative contributor. Thank you for your time.

Decline reason:

Dan Tosh does not own Wikipedia, nor does he own the article about him. Although you appear to have a history of positive edits, if you are indeed gullible enough to fall for Tosh, then it may be necessary you keep you blocked in order to protect the project overall (you are not the first person blocked thanks to Tosh). At this point, I'm not convinced that you understand that the action was incorrect, or that you should be unblocked yet. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 09:36, 18 May 2010 (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.

{{unblock|I suppose I'm a bit confused. What do I need to do to be unblocked from editing? This is a genuine question. I'm not a bad guy, and I was having a spot of fun the night I went and posted on Tosh.0's page. I'm an Air Force vet, pursuing a Master's degree. Outside of some speeding tickets, I've played by the rules my whole life. So, please, what do I have to do to get this ban lifted? I admit that getting on Tosh.0's site and posting whatever was a bad choice. It was a one-time moment of compulsiveness, and had I know it would come to this, it certainly wouldn't have happened. Again, check my history; I edit grammatical errors and update PGA tour victories. If I'm willing to be sent to Afghanistan for the USA, I'm certainly willing to NOT spam on wikipedia in the future.

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

Based on no prior history of blocks and lack of warning before block, I'm willing to unblock you. Please be mindful of our editing guidelines for future edits.
