Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Steve Smith (American Dad!). This edit constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 04:01, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

--> No problem. I've edited before, but I made a mistake and I didn't know how to fix it. I was trying to edit the summary at the top but ended up messing up the page. Won't happen again.

Replaceable fair use File:WCL G Street Location.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:WCL G Street Location.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

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. Fut.Perf. ☼ 00:03, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Please be more careful when you edit. The article Washington College of Law currently has many broken links resulting from your edits, primarily because you add only a URL to {{cite web}}. At a minimum, please also include the parameters 'title', 'publisher', and 'accessdate', with appropriate values for their fields. Thank you. Mindmatrix 21:39, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

I've been editing it for a few hours, I noticed that I had forgotten to add that info. I went through and fixed all the links. Thanks for the notice.

Orphaned non-free media (File:AU WCL Logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:AU WCL Logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:30, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Fair use images

Hi Shintopig. I recently uploaded a photograph of Emma Gillett for use on her article and noticed that you replaced it. I wanted to let you know that some of the images that you have been uploading do not meet Wikipedia's non-free content criteria (WP:NFCC). Specifically, File:Myers Building.jpg and File:WCL Mass Ave.jpg seem to have been taken from this website and do not meet WP:NFCC#1 because new, freely licensed photographs could be created to replace them. The File:Valerie Jarrett WCL Commencement.jpg photo probably does not pass WP:NFCC#8. The use of File:Ellen Mussey.jpg and File:Emma Gillette, co-founder & dean of the Washington College of Law.jpg on the Washington College of Law article probably does not meet WP:NFCC#8. The reason I originally uploaded a smaller version of the Gillett picture was to meet WP:NFCC#3b. Large files in excess of 100KB tend to load slowly, especially for those who don't have broadband.

Please take some time to familiarize yourself with the non-free content criteria if you plan on continuing uploading fair use images. If you have any questions or need any help, feel free to leave a message for me on my talk page. Thanks, Gobōnobō ^{+ c} 00:02, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited John DiMaggio, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bender (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.

I fixed it; thanks for letting me know.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
