[edit] Daniel Castady

Hi. I removed your {{prod}} tag from this article. It met the criteria for speedy deletion and I have tagged it with a {{db-bio}} tag instead. Thanks! James084 03:51, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lindsey Jacobellis and Leon Lett

I apologize for labelling my reversion of your edit to this page as vandalism, when really it was a matter of you having a different opinion than me. I should have given a better reason for making this change.--Josilot 04:08, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Clearing an autoblock

Due to the nature of the block applied we need additional information before we can decide whether to unblock you. It is very likely that you are not personally blocked. If you are prevented from editing, it may be because you are autoblocked or blocked because of your IP address. Without further details there is nothing further we can do to review or lift your block. Please follow these instructions:

  1. If you have a Wikipedia account, please ensure that you are logged in.
    Your account name will be visible in the top right of this page if you are.
    If it isn't, try bypassing your web browser's cache.
  2. Try to edit the Sandbox.
  3. If you are still blocked, copy the {{unblock-ip|...}} code generated for you under the "IP blocked?" section. This is usually hidden within the "What do I do now?" section. If so, just click the "[show]" link to the right hand side to show this text.
  4. Paste the code at the bottom of your user talk page and click save.

If you are not blocked from editing the sandbox then the autoblock on your IP address has already expired and you can resume editing.

[edit] Choke Artist

[edit] Speedy deletion of Choke artist

A tag has been placed on Choke artist, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Only used to insult Manning

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Dlong 01:47, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image violation

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Jennifer Morrison, you will be blocked from editing. --Yamla 02:40, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Linking to an existing image is hardly vandalism. --Mr. Vernon 02:42, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
You removed a warning which told you that promotional photos were not permitted. The warning noted that this would be a copyright violation. You were told to read our policy on fair-use. Yet with all of that, you went ahead anyway and placed an image in violation of our fair-use policy and in violation of its own license. Given that you were specifically warned against doing exactly this, the vandal3 template appeared appropriate. --Yamla 02:55, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Promotional photos are used on other pages such as Hugh Laurie and Omar Epps. Both image pages have rationales about why they fall under Fair Use, but you reported me as a vandal before doing investigation and letting me add that to the image. The Wikipedia page on Wikipedia:Vandalism explicitly says that "Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism." The segment on copyright says "Uploading or using material on Wikipedia in ways which violate Wikipedia's copyright policies after having been warned is vandalism. Because users may be unaware that the information is copyrighted, or of Wikipedia policies on how such material may and may not be used, such action only becomes vandalism if it continues after the copyrighted nature of the material and relevant policy restricting its use have been communicated to the user." The picture wasn't even a new one, just pointing to an existing one for the character like the pages I referenced above. Vandalism level 3 isn't even close to being justified. --Mr. Vernon 03:08, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
