You are suspected of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/{{{1}}}]]. Thank you. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 07:32, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Single warning

There is an editor by the name of User:ElPilotoDi who shows up at Madonna articles, adds images that violate Wikipedia policies, and fails completely to engage with other editors. If this is not you, then please reply immediately and read WP:IUP before uploading or changing any more images. Either way, if you add any more images that violate WP:IUP, your account will be blocked indefinitely. Stifle (talk) 10:33, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:MOD-253305 MadonnaTourPic.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:MOD-253305 MadonnaTourPic.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. 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 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 "file" 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 "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. FASTILY_sock^(TALK) 03:00, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Nightwish Amaranth music video.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Nightwish Amaranth music video.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. FASTILY_sock^(TALK) 03:01, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Changing images

Hi, and Welcome! My name is Paine, and I see you're learning about images and the various things we can do with them. I just wanted to send a note to you on a small matter. Whenever you replace an image in an article, as you did with the infobox image in the Piper Halliwell article, this might leave the image you replaced as an "orphan" image, which just means that it is not used in any articles. So rather than just replacing images, you might want to consider using the old image in another part of the article where it might better illustrate a section of text. That way, the image does not become an orphan and will not be automatically deleted in about seven days. Thank you so much for your help improving this encyclopedia, and again Welcome to Wikipedia!

Image uploading

Do not repeatedly revert an image to a version you have uploaded over an older version. If someone reverts you back you discuss things with them. In addition, there has been extensive discussion on Talk:Telephone (song) as to which cover should be used, the purple one that you keep uploading has never been mentioned. If you continue to edit war over File:Telephone-LadyGaga.png you may be blocked.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:58, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

• Additionally, there may be issues when you upload an image and don't update the description page to reflect the new source and rationale. It would be better for you to use a new filename to upload a new image, instead of inappropriately overwriting an existing image. (ESkog)^(Talk) 15:32, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
• As warned above, you have been blocked indefinitely as a sock puppet of User:ElPilotoDi. You can appeal this block by posting {{unblock|reason}} here. Stifle (talk) 08:25, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Liz Lemon 2.png

Thanks for uploading File:Liz Lemon 2.png. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Herr Kriss (talk) 01:29, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
