Non-free files in your user space

Hey there Amybinns, thank you for your contributions. I am a bot, alerting you that non-free files are not allowed in user or talk space. I removed some files I found on User:Amybinns/Journalism, Media and Communication, University of Central Lancashire. In the future, please refrain from adding fair-use files to your user-space drafts or your talk page.

• See a log of files removed today here.

• Shut off the bot here.

Orphaned non-free image File:Greenbank atrium Preston.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Greenbank atrium Preston.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages (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 Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude2 (talk) 06:40, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Broadcast Journalism Training Council

Hi. Just to let you know I've reviewed Broadcast Journalism Training Council for you, and it's pretty good - all I really needed to do was improve the refs a bit (I split the citations into title, author, and publisher tags) and add a category. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:59, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Many thanks Boing. I'll double check the references so they're right next time. I'm planning another page but it's not done yet. Thanks again apiano (talk) 10:10, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Journalism, Media and Communication, University of Central Lancashire

Hi, I've reviewed Journalism, Media and Communication, University of Central Lancashire and have done a bit of copy editing on it. Basically, I've modified it a bit to make it appear less promotional, emphasising what it is rather than how good it is - for example, I've moved the academic praise away from the lede. Also, I've change the Times bit to actually say that the Times said it, rather than repeat the Times' statement as fact. I've also removed the Independent bit about its good employment record, as that was only talking about a specific class of 35 people in 2004, and it would be giving undue weight to generalise from that. Otherwise, I think it looks fine. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:45, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Using Misplaced Pages to promote Amy Bins

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Misplaced Pages, you may be blocked from editing. OhNoitsJamie 15:12, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi Jamie, can you tell me which page you are referring to? apiano (talk) 15:22, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

I would be referring to the large batch of edits you just made (now reverted) where you added journal articles written by the same person. We call that reference spamming, and we don't permit it. OhNoitsJamie 15:27, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

I accept some of them may be changed, but all of these are based on peer-reviewed research, in some cases in badly under-researched areas. For example, there is very little peer-reviewed research on Ask.fm or Formspring, two sites which were linked to several suicides. At present, the Ask.fm page is, IMHO, largely focused on promoting the changes made by the new owners.

If you wanted to change the writing, okay, but you've simply undone all the work. In the case of the internet troll page, there was a specific request for citations, which I have added.

Telling readers to basically go look at an offsite article is unhelpful. A summary of what the source states should be added to the Misplaced Pages article. --NeilN 15:57, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
