There is a Cubs image of him now. There doesn't have to be as you see these things are based on the availability of free images. You can always suggest or produce one yourself.^MY♥_INchile 22:30, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Sure thing

I worship that team (UNC) and did a big part of the daily/weekly updating of the schedule/results last year during the season, so it's become a little hobby for me. --Alan daniel (talk) 17:42, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Bloomsburg.GIF)

Thanks for uploading Image:Bloomsburg.GIF. 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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. BJBot (talk) 04:11, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Eric Mangini. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Enigma ^message 03:09, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Alex-rodriguez-yankees-twins-e7da241b28f2d9e6 large.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Alex-rodriguez-yankees-twins-e7da241b28f2d9e6 large.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, 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, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. 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 provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Martin H. (talk) 18:25, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

It's hard uploading files on wikipedia Silversword55 (talk) 18:48, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

No, it is like adding text. You can upload files that are entirely your own work (like self written text), you can upload files you got the copyright holders written permission for free reuse including commercial reuse (like text you got permission from the copyright holder) but you can not copy random images from other websites (like text, you can not copy from other websites). So whats the status of this photograph? Own work it is not. Permission? Not indicated, if yes follow the instructions above. Copy&pasted? I think so, thats not ok. --Martin H.

October 2009

Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to 2009 World Series, as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. KuyaBriBri^Talk 21:01, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:51, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
