Book Covers

Been sorting out all the covers and duplicates! I've copied all of the text from http://www.dennisadonis.net/permit.html into the OTRS system, so even if the web site dies at some future time, we won't lose the permission. Thus they now all have a ticket number of 2014021910001219. If you upload any more book covers from the site, just ask any OTRS agent to put that ticket number on the image (or use the noticeboard WP:OTRSN). Images (currently) are now (all on commons)...

Note file names will change as users may decide on a more suitable name - but they will re-link them if used in any articles.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 02:19, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dennis Adonis, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page British (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

License tagging for File:Ten letters to obama dennis adonis coverj.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Ten letters to obama dennis adonis coverj.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 02:05, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Removing AfD template

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Ten Letters to Obama. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. This is an automated message from a bot about this edit, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete. If this message is in error, please report it.—^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 17:10, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Hello and thanks for the notification.

I see that the articles have been nominated for deletion, so I will abstain from copy-editing them, although they indeed needed it. As you have seen above, removing an AfD template is not allowed. If you keep removing them, you risk being blocked.

You are instead encouraged to participate in the discussion, to which the template links. If you think the articles should be kept, you can put forward your arguments there; see WP:Notability.

Regards

HandsomeFella (talk) 17:31, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

• As noted above, it is against Wikipedia rules to remove the AfD notice from an article. If you do it again, I will report you. Instead, you have to DISCUSS the nominations at: [1] and [2] Bueller 007 (talk) 17:33, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

• As noted by a duplicate account of yours. So lets put it to the test. You went outside of Wikipedia principles and nominated the article without providing proper reasons. It will be removed until other credible administrators from Wikipedia can examine it, and see your devious edits.

The reasons are given at: [3] and [4] Bueller 007 (talk) 18:15, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

• My account is not a duplicate of that of Bueller 007. Suggesting that is a personal attack, as is accusations of vandalism. If you continue down this path, you might find yourself blocked very soon. Btw, if you are in any way related to mr. Adonis, reading WP:Conflict of interest is recommended. And sign your posts. HandsomeFella (talk) 17:41, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

• I have no relation to the subject. I am very much aware of cultural developments in the Caribbean and happened to be maybe the fourth of fifth author to pick up and expand that article. I see no reason for it to be removed. Your actions are clearly bent on a personal attack. It is obvious as day.

Webwatchergy (talk) 17:46, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

• • I have reported you for vandalism for your repeated removal of AfD notices in violation of Wikipedia rules. Links were provided to discuss the nomination, but you have chosen a different route, apparently. Bueller 007 (talk) 17:51, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:52, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

• If you think the articles should be kept, then why didn't you explain why on the discussion pages, instead of edit-warring, which only got you blocked, just as I predicted. And can you give an example of a personal attack that I have made against you? To learn what constitutes a personal attack, and what doesn't, see WP:No personal attacks, section What is considered to be a personal attack?. HandsomeFella (talk) 18:15, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you.

• I felt that the user was deliberately vandalizing the pages and had preferred intervention and guidance from a Wikipedia administrator instead. However, I do not know how to contact an Administrator.

But ironically, an administrator's intervention blocked me without warning. However from reviewing Wikipedia's policy, I may want to agree with the administrator, even though I would have preferred that he sent me a guidance notice instead on how to handle situations like these. Nonetheless, the overall position on this matter is understood, and I will await further guidance.

Finally, it would be great if less seasoned Wikipedians can provided with clearer guidance on contacting an administrator when situation of these nature arises..
