Logging in and edit warring

I have to assume from your contribution history and the history of Beagle that you have not been logging in when making recent edits. Please log in so that your contributions history is consistent and other editors can follow who they are interacting with. Editing as an IP if you have a username will not get around our 3 revert policy when it is so obvious, and is likely to be met with accusations of sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry and will likely result in your being blocked and the article being protected to prevent continued edit warring. Please take up issues on article talk and work towards consensus with other editors. If you are having issues with our policies then please ask, but continued reversion without engaging other editors on talk will be treated as disruptive. If another editor is reverting your good faith additions then ask them for their reasoning, they may be following established guidelines and policies that you are not aware of and they should be prepared to explain to you. I would also encourage you to read through the links in the welcome template above. Mfield (Oi!) 23:23, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Hollakr, in regards to your beagle pictures, please contact me on my talk page. DMighton (talk) 00:06, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Please watch your tone on the edit summaries. If you continue posting uncivil comments as you did on Beagle , you could find yourself blocked from editing. Thank you. Wperdue (talk) 18:09, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Please read: Wikipedia:No personal attacks and Wikipedia:Assume good faith. This [1] is unacceptable on Wikipedia. DMighton (talk) 18:12, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

IP editing

Please do not revert edits using IP only accounts. Currently, the editing pattern on Beagle strongly indicates the use of IP sockpuppets to restore material that needs to be discussed first. Please discuss the issues as has been requested before re-adding it to the entry. Also, your continued references to the "Wikipedia police" are not necessary. There are no Wikipedia police. Thank you. Wperdue (talk) 21:24, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

RE: Beagle

Your edits have been getting reverted by other members of Wikipedia because they have been either unsourced or you've been turning the page into a photo gallery of your dog. I am not the only person reverting your edits, and that should tell you something.

The Brian the Dog thing... when you put "facts" onto Wikipedia, especially on a Featured Article like Beagle, you need to source your facts otherwise you compromise the integrity of the article. Sure, something might look like a Beagle... but if everyone starts writing about everything on TV and says it looks like a beagle and doesn't source it... it kills the legitimacy of the article and may end up losing its Featured Article status... which is something important on here. Please read: WP:Sources.

The second thing is wikipedia is not your personal photo album for Scout... I was being nice and showed you what you could possibly do on your user page... but instead for the second time today you make a Personal Attack. There is something you could do with a picture of Scout on here... and I've been trying to get your attention for about 3 days now to try and do it... but you have been blindly reverting information back to the way you had it and not listening. Please read: WP:Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files.

The next thing is these Personal Attacks... you keep up with this "Princess" thing and the "Wikipedia Police" thing and you'll end up with your IP banned and you won't be able to use anything here... we value civility. We have been trying to contact you to help you understand... but you keep getting angry and you won't listen. Don't be rude... you own these articles as much as we do... but if you are out of line, you force the community to revert your edits... or ultimately ban you. Please read: WP:Civil. This is not civil: [2].

NOW, what I wanted to talk to you about before you decided to attempt to insult me.... We could use a picture of Scout... but not the ones you've posted. Scout has a common condition amongst elderly Beagles called depigmentation. We need a clear and in focus picture of him which shows his full coat and face clearly.... very clearly... myself and User:Yomangan discussed this... we'd like a good photo of your dog that shows off his depigmentation. If you can do this, we know just the spot where it would be perfect.

Hopefully this has illuminated what is going on here. There is no need to be rude... we aren't against you... but there is a way of doing things... and if you talk to us, then you will learn these ways. DMighton (talk) 21:59, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Josh Hamilton actor.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Josh Hamilton actor.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:21, 18 February 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 03:21, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
