Dates[edit]

Europe uses dmy dates, do not change that at will. Materialscientist (talk) 23:55, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Sean Schemmel, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Materialscientist (talk) 00:00, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We can't use IMDb as a reference for essential bio details. See WP:CITEIMDB. Materialscientist (talk) 00:12, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable sources[edit]

Hello. I wanted to explain why I reverted one of your contributions. In this edit, you cited a web search in a biography of a living person. This is a very bad idea because search engines often use user-generated content to determine answers to queries. In some cases, they may even be citing cached versions of Wikipedia articles that had unsourced content. You should find a reliable source that states this information, then cite that source directly – not a search engine query. For information about living people, we have higher standards for sourcing, and you should scrutinize any source that you want to use. Make sure it has an editorial staff that have vetted the information, a history of fact-checking and correcting errors, and a reputable publisher (if applicable, such as a book). If you're unsure, you can ask at the reliable sources noticeboard or tea house, a forum for newer editors. There aren't really any websites that are always reliable for every piece of information, but you can often rely on newspapers and entertainment magazines for biographical information about celebrities. Several are listed in this list of resources, which may prove helpful in finding sources for actors and films. I know this probably seems rather confusing and bureaucratic, but it's to protect against false information, rumor, and defamation. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 18:14, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:D&B nation.jpg[edit]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:D&B nation.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:29, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Kurt performing in Seattle, 1993.jpg[edit]

A tag has been placed on File:Kurt performing in Seattle, 1993.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted content borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Replaceable fair use File:Peter Kelamis Picture.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Peter Kelamis Picture.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Rrburke (talk) 11:02, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
