== Your edit to Randy Quaid ==

I have reverted your change to this article, as it removed what appeared to be a well-written and neutral biography section and placed in a section that read like a promotional piece, which we try to avoid here on Wikipedia. Please take a look at the above links to Wikipedia policies, and if you wish to make major changes to an article, be sure to discuss them on the discussion page of that article prior to making the changes. Thank you, and happy editing. Tony Fox (arf!) 05:52, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Please don't copy-and-paste bios from other websites onto Wikipedia. Your edits have overwritten a well done article, and don't appear to be adding any benefit to the article. Thanks. Tony Fox (arf!) 06:04, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Please go to Talk:Randy Quaid and explain your edits before doing them again. The bio you are inserting appears to be copied from other websites; there is a note at the bottom of the edit page asking that this not be done, and you are affecting the article by doing so. Please also be aware of the three revert rule on Wikipedia. Tony Fox (arf!) 06:16, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing in Randy Quaid. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. -- Satori Son 06:17, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

Feel free to re-submit a new version of the article. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. Antandrus (talk) 06:21, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please stop

You need to stop inserting the copyright violation from [1]. Please do not copy and paste from other web sites; for legal reasons we cannot allow copyrighted text on Wikipedia. Thank you. Antandrus (talk)

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalise Wikipedia, as you did to Randy Quaid, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. -- Satori Son 06:59, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Randy-Goya.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Randy-Goya.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:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

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. 08:07, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You have been blocked for 24 hours

For vandalism and removal/addition of information without using talk pages. Please use the Talk:Randy Quaid page before making major changes to the article. Thanks. --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 08:42, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
