Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Rschen7754 05:38, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
- Please practice with what Rschen7754 is saying, the summery field helps others what your intention is on the edit. Without it, some editors that watch certain pages will simply revert your edits as vandalism. --WashuOtaku (talk) 01:16, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
- Please discuss what you are trying to do with the article Interstate 84 (west) on the article talk page. I know you're intentions are honorable, however you've wiped out the portion of the article covering Utah, and are attempting to make the article focus on Idaho. If we can work together we can get something done. However, unless the article is fixed (i.e. Utah information restored, exit list moved back to the proper location, etc.) it will most likely get reverted back to the old version. Let's work together, not fight each other ok? Dave (talk) 18:43, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
- For now, I have moved your addition of the exit list for Idaho on an Idaho detail page, and restored the Utah content you deleted. Please work with us to fill out the article Interstate 84 (Idaho), if it remains just an exit list, it will be deleted shortly. However, if you can work with us to create a useful article, it will stay as a nice addition to the US Roads project. Regards Dave (talk) 18:50, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
File source and copyright licensing problem with File:5253550.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:5253550.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, 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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. 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: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. 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 created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 03:17, 14 May 2011 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MacMedtalkstalk 03:17, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Lewisistheone1991. You can find the article (your latest revision) under the correct title: 2010-11 Colorado State Rams men's basketball team. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 10:19, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
Your "new" articles for basketball season pages
Please do not just copy and paste the pre-existing articles with proper names, such as 2010–11 Colorado Buffaloes men's basketball team, into "new" articles such as 2010-11 Colorado Buffaloes men's basketball team. There should not be duplicate entries on an existing topic, and according to Wikipedia's Manual of Style, ndashes must be used to split calendar years, not hyphens. I've redirected all of the hyphenated versions of the articles you started to their appropriate pages. If you have questions about any of this let me know. Jrcla2 (talk) 18:03, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of 2010-11 BYU Cougars men's basketball team, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://interceder.net/list/Brandon-Davies.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 04:44, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
Stop duplicating entries
Consider this an official warning to stop creating duplicate entries on basketball team seasons, especially since they're simply a copy/paste of the same article under the correct name. I will keep my eye on your new articles now, and if you keep it up I will be forced to bring this issue to an WP:ANI. Jrcla2 (talk) 22:15, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
ANI notice
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. See Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:Lewisistheone1991. Jrcla2 (talk) 21:25, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
Hello. When you created the article above you copied the schedule from the previous season's article. If you are not finished developing an article, please don't move it to article space. ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 22:33, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to 2010–11 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Problems with upload of File:State Farm Arena.png
Thanks for uploading File:State Farm Arena.png. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.
To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Use of non-free image File:WashingtonStateCougars.png on 2010–11 Washington State Cougars men's basketball team
The non-free image File:WashingtonStateCougars.png was recently restored to 2010–11 Washington State Cougars men's basketball team by you after it have been removed for failure of our non-free content criteria policy, specifically item #10c which requires a "separate, specific non-free use rationale for each use of the item". The image still fails the 10c policy requirement and has been removed from the article again. Please do not restore this image to that article again without complying with the requirements of that policy. For more information on how to write an appropriate non-free use rationale, please consult Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline. If you have questions about this, please ask. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 13:03, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
- You were cautioned about the use of non-free images without a rationale for a specific use, as above. Yet, you chose to break this policy again. Why? If you persist in violating our WP:NFCC policy, you can and will be blocked from editing. If you have questions about this policy, please ask. Persisting in violating the policy is not an option. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 14:07, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
Final warning
Consider this a final warning. This warning is not for your specific actions regarding the road or sports articles, but for repeatedly making edits and reverts that other people disagree with and have asked you to stop or at least discuss. You have been reported to WP:ANI at least once and have refused to discuss your actions there. I hate to do this, but your refusal to discuss your actions and communicate with other editors while making clearly controversial edits is disruptive and goes against what Wikipedia stands for. Since you won't respond to talk page messages, HTML comments, or any communication of the sort, an indefinite block will be our only option if you fail to respond to this message. --Rschen7754 05:04, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Rschen7754 02:25, 26 July 2011 (UTC)Basically, you need to work with other editors and come to consensus with them - you can't just edit pages however you want regardless of opposition. I would be willing to unblock early if you can agree to this. --Rschen7754 02:46, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Non-free images in sports season articles
Hello. Per our policies on non-free images, Wikipedia keeps the number of usages of such files down to a minimum. Previous consensus on the issue of sports logos is that any non-free logo should only be used in the main article on the subject, which in this case is New Mexico Lobos men's basketball. On season articles, either a free image should be used (many text-only logos are free, like the one used here, or if none is available, no logo at all.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from 2004–05 Washington Huskies men's basketball team. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. -- WikHead (talk) 08:07, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Rschen7754 16:07, 13 August 2011 (UTC)- You realize you'll be permanently blocked from editing if you keep doing this nonsense, right? I bet you don't actually, nevermind. Jrcla2 (talk) 15:54, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
Suspected sockpuppetry
I suspect you are a sockpuppet. Please see the case at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/PoliticianTexas, where you may defend yourself if you so choose. LadyofShalott 19:02, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
Non-free images in sports season articles (again)
Please stop inserting non-free images into these articles. You were warned not to do so above; you have continued to do it. If you do so again, you will be blocked from editing again. Black Kite (t) (c) 19:03, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
