Replaceable fair use File:Scissorfight, Band Facebook Banner Pic.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Scissorfight, Band Facebook Banner Pic.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. Majora (talk) 02:37, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

April 2016[edit]

Hello, I'm 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 15:04, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 15:10, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Unacceptable tone and unsourced WP:BLP violations. If WP:COI applies, please divulge that association. If you continue I'll ask for a block. Thank you, 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 15:10, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I do apologize. I'm still learning, and I guess I got a little carried away. I didn't know that you had reverted my changes. I will adjust my tone and research my facts better before attempting another edit. Again, I apologize.Rfletch4269 (talk) 15:17, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rfletch4269, okay. Just to be clear, there's no place in any Wikipedia article for writing like this: [1]. Please read our guidelines and policies, and continue to contribute by adding content that meets encyclopedic standards. Which means no fan magazine prose. Thanks, 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 15:20, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I completely understand. I copied most of that from the bands website, but failed to re-word it. It won't happen again. Thanks,Rfletch4269 (talk)

I was wondering about that. You do know that copyright violations are the path to a quick block, as well. Never cut and paste text from elsewhere, unless it's a sourced quote, and even then keep it brief. 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 15:28, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I read over some of the information you provided links to, and understood immediately. I am going back through my edits for the April Richardson page and eliminating alot of it. I got lost in the writing and lost the concept of the site. Just the facts, verifiable facts. I will get my edits verified by a more experienced editor before I save the changes from here on out. I do not want to get blocked! I really do enjoy the research. I felt as though I did a good job on the Weediquette and Balls Deep pages but lost sight of it. Thanks again.Rfletch4269 (talk) 15:54, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Scissorfight, Band Facebook Banner Pic.jpg[edit]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Scissorfight, Band Facebook Banner Pic.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:54, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further notice the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to April Richardson. Mike1901 (talk) 16:02, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Dodger67 was:

Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

There are no Independent and Reliable sources.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
