Zombiebaron waves, with no real intention of racking up nearly as many edits as СПУТНИК, now he will continue to shamlessly plug Uncyclopedia.

WP:NOT...

...is not a listing of every Wiki, nor indeed any Wiki, that the English Misplaced Pages is not. We don't need links to anywhere, least of all Uncyclopedia. Thanks. -Splash 03:32, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

WP:3RR

Be aware that you are nearly in violation of our three-revert rule on WP:NOT. Please limit yourself to at most three reverts per article per 24-hour period - ideally any controversial changes should be discussed on the Talk page first. Thanks for your cooperation.

Untitled Something

How do I create a page?

You type the title you want into the search bar and hit "go". Then click the red text asking if you want to make a page with that title. Zombiebaron 17:12, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:JackieCaswellLaylaRobertsJenniferRoveroAndBrookeBerry.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:JackieCaswellLaylaRobertsJenniferRoveroAndBrookeBerry.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Misplaced Pages articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Konst.able 23:38, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Barney'sVersionCover.jpg

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Barney'sVersionCover.jpg. 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, 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 Misplaced Pages:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Misplaced Pages: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 Misplaced Pages:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 14:04, 12 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.
