April 2011[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page National History Day has been reverted.
Your edit here to National History Day was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.nhd.weebly.com) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 17:10, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Chitownfire.jpg[edit]

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Chitownfire.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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. 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 meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 00:38, 7 April 2011 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 00:38, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked as a sock puppet[edit]

Don't bother removing the notice, because you are a sock puppet of Sourguy3665 and hence indefinitely blocked. Regards, –MuZemike 01:09, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

May I please know why you blocked me? I understand that you believe I'm a sockpuppet of Sourguy3665 but, in all respect, what evidence is there? On my user page it says refer to the contributions for evidence. We have edited none of the same pages. Usasoccerftw3665 (talk) 01:10, 13 April 2011 (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:

Hi, I was blocked like 30 minutes ago (probably less) and I'm wondering why. I looked at the reason was sockpuppetry of a user called Sourguy3665. Right below it it said "Refer to the contributuions for evidence. I opened both Sourguy3665's contributions and mine in 2 tabs and found no pages that we both edited. Can you please tell me why I was called a sockpuppet? Thanks

Decline reason:

This block was based on the use of Checkuser; someone with access to it will have to review the evidence. — Daniel Case (talk) 02:39, 13 April 2011 (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.

Request reason:

Hi, I understand the admins of Wikipedia believe I'm a sock puppet of Sourguy3665. I can't hope that you people will stop thinking I'm a sockpuppet since only a checkuser can do that and checkusers probably have better things to do than unblock people. Even If I was a sockpuppet of Sourguy3665, haven't I shown that I've turned over a new leaf. The only bad things I've done is make a few edits without sources and add a picture without adding copyright info. Other than that every edit has been useful. I've radically improved the neutrality of the Mead Jr High article and I added a reference section. The Scienceo Olympiad page, I added sources as well as some more facts. Through all of this, I've shown that I make constructive edits. I hope you unban me. Thank You. Usasoccerftw3665 (talk) 19:28, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

If you want to be unblocked you will need to request it via e-mail to the blocking checkuser; no-one else will do it. In your request, if you make it, you might explain your comment here about turning over a new leaf; specifically, in comparison to what? --Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 19:38, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(ec) "Even If I was a sockpuppet of Sourguy3665, haven't I shown that I've turned over a new leaf." Now why would you say that if you weren't a sockpuppet? Advice: stop beating around the bush and start being honest. You are a sockpuppet, according to (1) apparent Checkuser evidence, (2) your edits (similar articles/subject areas to those of another sockpuppet, based on what I can see) and, (3) duh, your username. If you want to have any chance of having an unblock request being taken seriously, the first step would be to admit that you are the same person rather than being evasive and dishonest about it. --Kinu ^t/_c 19:41, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
