Replaceable fair use Image:Bookadler.png

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Bookadler.png. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Garion96 (talk) 19:28, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

TNA roster page.

As you were the one who requested the protection on the TNA roster page, may I ask that you allow it to be edited again.

With a page like that, it needs to be able to be edited to keep it up to date.

Here are some reasons why:

1. Wrestlers coming and going

2. Titles changing hands

3. New names/gimmicks for wrestlers

I know some editors go hog wild over there, but there's no reason that responsible editors shouldn't be able to work on it to keep it up to date.

File source problem with File:Benedict.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Benedict.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.

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 uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:45, 15 May 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Papa November (talk) 20:45, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

FAR for Søren Kierkegaard

I have nominated Søren Kierkegaard for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Arsenikk ^(talk) 22:42, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Just for the record - Heidegger

I don't think I continued the content dispute onto the 3rr page. I did respond to the serious accusation that I was trying to scrub any reference to Heidegger's links to the Nazis. I devote a fair amount of my time to preventing Far Right POV edits on various UK related pages and I find the attempt to throw the Nazi-apologist label at me deeply insulting. As far as I am concerned once I got to the point (after 7 reverts by Julian) of deciding that enough was enough and made the 3rr report I have left the article alone pending resolution. If you think I shouldn't have responded fair enough, all advise appreciated. --Snowded ^TALK 08:57, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Martin Heidegger

Hello Poor Yorick. From a comment by you on one of the pages, I had the impression you were waiting for some other admin to decide if any blocks should be issued due to the war on this article. If this was not the case, I apologize. Based on the result of WP:AN3#User:Jonathansamuel reported by User:Snowded (Result: 1 week) it may be possible for you to consider lifting the protection. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 05:17, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

I support the unblock request.KD Tries Again (talk) 17:35, 15 February 2010 (UTC)KD Tries Again

Hello. This is user jonathansamuel. I have been blocked for 1 week. I am logging in this one time from a wifi hotspot because my IP has also been blocked. I ask that you keep the freeze on the Heidegger article until I am able to comment on the Heidegger article on its Talk Page. I cannot do that now because of my one week block.

There are a number of constructive points I have to make which would prevent degradation of the article from its excellent 1/24/10 state, and these points are best discussed prior to unfreezing the article.

The current schedule is to unfreeze the Heidegger article in two weeks. Since my block only lasts for one week, that would give me one week in which to make my constructive comments. 152.179.45.86 (talk) 19:39, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

This is user jonathansamuel again. I have posted a comment on the Heidegger Talk Page. I ask that you please review it before reaching any decision regarding the relative merits of the competing texts presented by users KD Tries Again and Snowded. 64.241.37.140 (talk) 23:11, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

I have asked Jonathansamuel not to evade his block. Since there is no WP:Deadline, any points which Jonathan needs to make can be made after his block expires. EdJohnston (talk) 18:01, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

You may have seen it, but we have JS back on an edit war (5rr) as well as block evasion. I advised Ed here but we might want to semi-protect. --Snowded ^TALK 08:27, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Please note that in his exchange at the end of the Heidegger Talk Page with KT Tries Again, Snowded appeared to agree with KT Tries Again's statement that the Biography section would include either a quote or a title (same thing) from Heidegger praising Nazism. KT Tries Again even provided an example of such a quote/title. However, Snowded then violated that agreement and modified the Biography section in a way which removed the existing quote from Heidegger's proclamation and did not replace it with another quote or title. 96.240.143.90 (talk) 13:55, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Please also note that UserVobo changed at least dozen instances of "Nazism" to "National Socialism," including the reference in the 1st paragraph. UserVobo's actions are in complete violation of what was agreed to by all, including Poor Yorick. 96.240.143.90 (talk) 14:02, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Here is the count for the past 24 hours for reverts to the identical content by named editors: Snowded 3; UserVobo 2; mtevfrog 2. Please note that 3rr may soon apply in this instance, and all violators should be sanctioned in a consistent manner. Note that Wikipedia took no action in a formal complaint against mtevfrog which showed he had produced four reverts to identical content in a 24 hour period. Formally complaining about 3rr rules is pointless if administrators ignore, without comment, the complaint. The administrator who reviewed the complaint against mtevfrog didn't deny that mtevfrog had violated 3rr. He simply stated, without comment, that no obvious action was warranted. 96.240.143.90 (talk) 14:02, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Semiprotected Martin Heidegger

Hello Poor Yorick. I have semiprotected the article due to an editor using an IP to evade his block. If you wish, you can adjust the semi as you think best. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 16:33, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Now fully protected for one month. I left a note on the article's talk page. EdJohnston (talk) 17:50, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I was going to check out the prose of Søren Kierkegaard to make sure it meets 1a. Is it ready for the check, in your opinion? Are you doing further work on sourcing and other matters? --Andy Walsh (talk) 16:11, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Suspension of admin privileges due to inactivity

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

File source problem with File:Iga supermarket (Vancouver, BC).jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Iga supermarket (Vancouver, BC).jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.

If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

Notice of change

Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you. MBisanz ^talk 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
