July 2009

Your recent addition to Huntingdale Primary Bilingual School has added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Melbourne, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. AussieLegend (talk) 10:04, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Commonesia

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Commonesia, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. andreasm (talk) 05:48, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Clyde Lariba

A tag has been placed on Clyde Lariba requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

Please stop. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. If you need guidance on how to create appropriate pages, try using the Article Wizard. Melchoir (talk) 07:48, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Stop marking articles as FA

These articles cannot be marked as FA or Featured articles because they don't have sufficiently high quality. Please don't go changing around tags in articles if you don't know what you're doing. Thanks. --seav (talk) 10:09, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to History of Melbourne. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. AussieLegend (talk) 06:57, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at User talk:MSGJ, you will be blocked from editing. Omarcheeseboro (talk) 10:30, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

An image or media file has been removed from your userpage, user talk page, or other page because it was licensed as fair use. Wikipedia's fair use policy states that Copyrighted images under fair use are only allowed to be used in articles about the subject of the image, and only if no free equivalent is available. For example they are not allowed to be used on user pages, in lists, or (typically) in biographies of living people.. As a result, although users are often given a great amount of latitude in the type of content that is allowed on their user pages, it is requested that you abide by this policy. Feel free, however, to add images and media files licensed under other terms. For more information, see Wikipedia's fair use policy and an accompanying essay on the removal of fair use images. Further use of these images will be considered vandalism, and shall be treated as such. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. AussieLegend (talk) 07:39, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Use of non-free images in userboxes

As per Wikipedia:Userboxes#Caution about image use, use of non-free images in userboxes is expressly forbidden", making this edit to User:Secret Saturdays/Garfield (comics) and this edit to User:Secret Saturdays/SNL Sucker denial expressly forbidden, which is why they were reverted. --AussieLegend (talk) 10:10, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
