Your rights[edit]
In a message to Pegasus1138 ([1]), you asserted that preventing you from using fair use images on your userpage violated your constitutionally guaranteed right to freedoms of expression, religion, and political association. All of these freedoms come with restrictions; they are not absolutes. For example, while you have freedom of expression you do not have the right to setup a 5,000 watt sound system in a residential neighborhood and blast it at max volume at two in the morning. Similarly, you do not have the right to violate copyright laws that protect other people's rights to their property. Pegasus1138 noted that Wikipedia is a private entity, and as such you do not have rights here as guaranteed in the Constitution. He is correct. You have heard from three different people regarding the use of fair use images in userspace, two of whom are administrators. We have all told you that you may not use fair use images on your userpage. If you feel we are in error, I invite you to take up the matter with the Wikimedia Foundation, as they are the ones who established the policy which governs the use of fair use images outside of the main article namespace. All the best, --Durin 03:47, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
- Regardless of how long an image has been improperly used, it still requires being fixed to eliminate copyright violations. I am unclear as to what you are identifying as being rogue administrator behavior. In looking at the block logs for you, I don't see any blocks [2]. Since you are able to post to this talk page, it appears you are not blocked anymore. It might have been possible that you were finding yourself blocked as a result of an administrator blocking an anonymous IP because of behavior on the part of the person operating from that anonymous IP, and you happened to pick up that IP after that person was done with it...depends on your ISP/connection setup. --Durin 17:56, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
- Also, I note that you created Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Kingsean1. At this time, you have less than 400 edits. Since June 27, 2005 there have been just three admins created from users who had less than 1,000 edits at the time they made a request for adminship. The lowest of these had more than twice the number of edits you currently have. You may wish to review some of the charts at User:Durin/Admin charts, in particular Image:SuccessRatevsEditsatRfA.png. According to that chart, tour chances of success will be at their best after you clear 2,000 edits. All the best, --Durin 17:59, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
Fair use image removal notification[edit]
I've previously removed fair use images from your userspace, and you have raised a concern about it. I've started Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Durin and fair use image removals. You may wish to review and comment. --Durin 13:47, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
License tagging for Image:001 Rodmond Roblin-1-.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:001 Rodmond Roblin-1-.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 03:05, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
==Image copyright problem with Image:001 Rodmond Roblin-1-.jpg==
Thank you for uploading Image:001 Rodmond Roblin-1-.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. JodyB talk 23:01, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Old Goldeyes.jpg[edit]
Thank you for uploading Image:Old Goldeyes.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 14:24, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Ziyanid. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Zayyanid dynasty. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Zayyanid dynasty – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Aṭlas (talk) 14:56, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
Ziyanid listed at Redirects for discussion[edit]
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Ziyanid. Since you had some involvement with the Ziyanid redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Shirt58 (talk) 09:08, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sotai until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.
