  Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Publishing a page. 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.

Unspecified source for Image:ONET_Emblem.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:ONET_Emblem.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 12:05, 6 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 12:05, 6 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for Image:Annual La na bhFiann.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Annual La na bhFiann.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. 16:06, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Your edit to Veterans in Ireland

edit

Please do not add blatant advertising content to Wikipedia, wikipedia is not a soapbox! --Dirk Beetstra T C 14:07, 16 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added to the page Veterans in Ireland do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --Dirk Beetstra T C 14:12, 16 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Per notes from other editors, please do not use Wikipedia as a private webspace or message board - for whatever organisation. Please consider reading What Wikipedia is not for guidelines on the type of content suited to Wikipedia. Alternatively I can help if you have specific concerns/questions about why your additions have been reverted. Guliolopez 14:26, 16 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Three revert rule

edit

Hi. Accepting that you are a new user (and therefore possibly not familiar with the rules/mores/etc), you need to be aware that continuing to include inappropriate detail in this fashion, without engaging in discussion, is not appropriate under several Wikipedia guidelines. Not least the WP:3RR rule. Please take a breather, and read the comments above before re-submitting that snippet again. Guliolopez 14:33, 16 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

 

You have been temporarily blocked from editing Wikipedia as a result of your disruptive edits. You are free to make constructive edits after the block has expired, but please note that vandalism (including page blanking or addition of random text), spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, personal attacks; and repeated, blatant violations of our policies concerning neutral point of view and biographies of living persons will not be tolerated.

I have blocked you for 3 hours for your continuous pushing of promotional information, even after more users have notified you of this. Please start discussing your edits. Thanks. --Dirk Beetstra T C 14:42, 16 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Seen the similarity in edits and information added, I want to note here that 86.43.100.175 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) also has received several warnings regarding this issue, and I do expect that you use that IP. Please review also our sock-puppet policy. --Dirk Beetstra T C 14:44, 16 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Re:Your email.

edit

Thank you for your email. First, I have unblocked your account, you may experience a block on your IP, please follow the instructions there, and an administrator will unblock the IP.

Your addition was reverted by several users, you were repeatedly adding a text which was very advertising in tone (e.g. "Each member receives a membership card that entitles that member to entry to the Brú na bhFiann members club and discounts on the facilities accommodation" sounds as if you want to attract people to become a member, which is, in my opinion, advertising), and contained an external link that should either be plain text, or an internal link. The page already contained that link in the external links sections, where I think it is in the right place. Last week I removed about 10 links to that site from this page. Please understand that wikipedia is not an advertising site, it is an encyclopedia (please click on the blue links, and the one linked earlier on your talkpage, and read what these policies/guidelines tell you).

As I said, I strongly suspect that you also edit using your IP number (user:86.43.100.175), and using that account you were adding a link to many pages, where the link was not directly related to the subject (but indirectly). Moreover, you were adding the link in sections where they do not belong. Such additions set off many alarms, and result in monitoring of links. Today the linkaddition (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Spam/LinkReports/oneconnect.ie) immediately resulted in a new alert. For more information, see Wikipedia:Spam and Wikipedia:External links.

In short, I would like you to review the following pages:

Also note, that you have been linked by one of our (actually, mine) bots to certain pages (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Spam/UserReports/Joeleire), so these edits will (for now) result in alerts). Please consider to change your edit style, and please, when asked to, discuss before making the same edit again (as most of the policies and guidelines will also suggest). I hope this explains, have a nice day. --Dirk Beetstra T C 16:53, 16 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

I gave an example above, the whole section is advertising in tone. Also, the link is in the external link section, words in the text do not need the external link. I have reverted your edit, again. May I suggest you first discuss on the talkpage with other editors before making the edit again. Thanks. --Dirk Beetstra T C 08:40, 17 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Beechwood House.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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 14:16, 7 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Notification of automated file description generation

edit

Your upload of File:Beechwood House.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks! Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 13:09, 27 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

 

The file File:Lt General Gerry McMahon (Retired).jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unused, low-res, no obvious use

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:01, 18 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
