Image Tagging Image:Sloss.jpg[edit]

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Sloss.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Hiptop Hidden features has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this article is more a how-to than an encyclopedia article. Please review WP:NOT for the relevant policy and improve the article if possible. If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the prod notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. NickelShoe (Talk) 17:32, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome, and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia! Your test worked, and thank you for reverting or removing it yourself. The best way to do tests in the future would be to use the sandbox. You can look at these pages as well: how to edit a page, the tutorial, and how to write a great article. All of these pages are good places to start. Again, welcome, and I hope that you will like Wikipedia. FireSpike Editor Review! 02:35, 29 November 2006 (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 don't understand why this block is on me. What is an open proxy or zombie computer? I contacted Eagle_101 about this but never got a response. When I have made edits in the past, it was always for something constructive. It seems like you should look at what edits are made and base your decision on that rather than some open proxy/zombie computer thing. Whatever-- This sort of thing drives me away from trying to contribute to Wikipedia.

Decline reason:

This account isn't blocked directly, but if you are using an open proxy to edit (Circumventor, BypassSchoolFilter, that sort of thing), we can't lift it as they are the only IPs we block indefinitely because they can so easily be used by vandals to evade blocks. Your ISP may also be using one ... you could ask them. — Daniel Case (talk) 03:26, 13 March 2008 (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.
