License tagging for Image:ImranKhan.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:ImranKhan.jpg. Misplaced Pages gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Misplaced Pages, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Misplaced Pages:Image use policy
• Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. 06:07, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Reversion at University of Bradford

Per WP:VAND, Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism. Regrdless of the merits of the material, using tools to revert a good faith edit with an automatic edit summary, as you did here is not constructive and is unlikely to de-escalate a revert war.

With regard to the material your reversion added, I am of the opinion that it is not relevant to the article University of Bradford, and I've removed it. My recommendation would be to allow the discussion on the article's talk page to come to a consensus before reverting again. Thank you. — mholland (talk) 00:13, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Mholland, I am always open for discussion and Suggestions. Lets talk on the discussion page but in meanwhile do not remove the creditable sources. Neutral Ray

Mr. Khan

You seem to have interesting views on what is and isn't an encyclopedic style. Imran Khan is both a cricketer and a politician so his naming should follow other examples of such. Have a look at other articles. Perhaps Winston Churchill, George W Bush, Ricky Ponting and Don Bradman. When their name is repeated it is simply by their surname, never with a "Mr." preceeding it. Remember to not confuse western naming standards with those from Pakistan. Referring to him as "Imran" is not the equivalent of calling Churchill "Winston" for example. Imran is perfectly acceptable for repetition of his name, the only other serious options are Imran Khan or Khan. This article is may be of interest. It gives several cricketers full names and then shortens them, in the case of the westerners to their surname, in Imran Khan's case not to Khan but Imran. --LiamE 04:52, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and accusing me of vandalism will get you nowhere. Please see WP:Vandalism. My edits are clearly all in good faith, as are yours I believe, you just havn't seemed to grasp encyclopaedic style yet..--LiamE 04:57, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

3 Revert rule warning

I notice you have neither answered my points above nor taken any heed. WP:3RR is policy and you need to pay attention to it. You may not keep reverting the same stuff over and over again. It is clear that the consensus on the Imran Khan article is to use "Imran" while you insist on "Mr. Khan" - the actual specifics and who is right are now unimportant. Put simply you may not revert an article more than 3 times in a 24 hour period. You have already reverted the Imran Khan article 4 times in about 14 hours and could be liable to be blocked. Please take this as a warning and stop your reverting against consensus without discussion. If you break 3RR again I will report the incident. Please take your differences to discussion pages where you can argue your case and give some reasoning rather than accusing long time editors such as myself of vandalism. --LiamE 20:25, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

In response to the "I could do the same" message on my page, well you could but you'd look a bit silly. I have only edited the page twice recently. What exactly would you report me for? --LiamE 21:15, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Defamatory material warning

Please stop. If you continue to add defamatory content, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. Axcess News is not a mainstream source and should not be used as a reliable source for such a contentious claim. -- ChrisO 23:51, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Further Warning

This is your last warning.
The next time you violate Misplaced Pages's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced defamatory content into an article, as you did to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. RolandR 23:17, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Blocked

For continuing to violate Misplaced Pages's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced defamatory content into an article, as you did to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, you have been blocked for 24 hours. If you continue to add such material when you return from your block, you will face a further and longer block. -- ChrisO 01:03, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

WP:POINT warning

Please do not disrupt Misplaced Pages to illustrate a point as you did by falsely reporting User:ChrisO, a Misplaced Pages Administrator to WP:AIV as you did here. Continued "trolling" may lead to you being blocked from Misplaced Pages. You appear to be engaged in a content dispute, so I suggest you read up on Misplaced Pages:Resolving disputes instead of falsely accusing others of violating Misplaced Pages:Vandalism. --  Netsnipe  ►  05:13, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Whatever your personal opinion might be, adding libellous material is not acceptable in wikipedia. --Anthony.bradbury 12:47, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Request reason:

Anthony.bradbury: An investigative report from United States Senate is a much more researched document than a "speech from Hansard". Refrain from promoting absurd logic.I dont think its libellous material because its true and its in wikipedia pages George_Galloway#U.S._Senate. Admins take notice.

Decline reason:

The problem is not the source but the intent. This edit is clearly aimed at discrediting anything Galloway might have said. It puts the accusation out of context and states it as if it were an established and uncontested fact that Galloway perjured himself. This is obviously misleading and is libellous. — Pascal.Tesson 05:44, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
