Image tagging for Image:Eden card.jpg

Thanks for uploading ''':Image:Eden card.jpg ↗'''. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

Unspecified source for :Image:Taliabima.jpg ↗

Thanks for uploading ''':Image:Taliabima.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, then 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, then 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 {{tl|GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL ↗. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use ↗, use a tag such as {{tlp|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 uploaded by following [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user={{PAGENAMEE}}}} 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 Wikipedia:Fair use ↗) then '''the image will be deleted 48 hours ↗ after 10:49, 11 April 2007 (UTC)'''. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page ↗. Thank you. feydey 10:49, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

30px ↗ Hello Boomslang! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot ↗ alerting you that '''1''' of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person ↗. The biographies of living persons ↗ policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability ↗, all biographies should be based on reliable sources ↗. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current ''{{PAGESINCATEGORY:All_unreferenced_BLPs}} ↗'' article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{tl|unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Proposed deletion ↗ of Rod Dyer ↗

left|48px| ↗

The article Rod Dyer ↗ has been proposed for deletion ↗ because under Wikipedia policy, all '''biographies of living persons ↗''' created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source ↗ that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners ↗ or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk ↗. Once you have provided at least one reliable source ↗, you may remove the {{tl|prod blp}} tag. '''Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced.''' If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can {{#ifexist:Rod Dyer|request that it be undeleted|request that it be undeleted ↗}} when you are ready to add one.

File permission problem with File:Eden card.jpg

64px|left|alt=|link= ↗
Thanks for uploading ''':File:Eden card.jpg ↗'''. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA ↗ or another acceptable free license (see this list ↗) '''at the site of the original publication'''; or

Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to '''{{NoSpamEmail|permissions-en|wikimedia.org}}''', stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here ↗. If you take this step, add {{tl|OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to '''{{NoSpamEmail|permissions-en|wikimedia.org}}'''.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content ↗, use a tag such as {{tlp|non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use ↗, and add a rationale ↗ justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags ↗ for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user=Boomslang}} your upload log]. '''Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged''', as described on criteria for speedy deletion ↗.

25px|alt=|link= ↗ Hello, Boomslang, welcome to Wikipedia ↗ and thank you for your contributions ↗. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as {{User|Pagodamancz}}.

If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 00:46, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Christian Moeller

Hey Boomslang, welcome back from your block. I am just wondering if there is there a reason you keep re-adding the same (unsourced) content to Christian Moeller ↗? Are you being paid to do so? HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 07:06, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Hey HickoryOughtShirt, I am editing the page so it is is accurate, which it has not been. I have sourced the reason for the update in the external links section. Please let me know if this suffices or if this should be formatted differently/elsewhere.

I am absolutely NOT paid to do this and am absolutely NOT a sockpuppet. I think the issue arose internally as two individuals got wires crossed about who was doing the update. That element of the post is now accurate and I'd appreciate it if it stayed that way. If any other protocol has been violated that might nullify this edit, please let me know so it can be remedied.

February 2019

30px|link= ↗ You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war ↗  according to the reverts you have made on :Christian Moeller ↗; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate ↗ with others, to avoid editing disruptively ↗, and to try to reach a consensus ↗, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:
# '''Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;'''
# '''Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.'''
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page ↗ to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard ↗ or seek dispute resolution ↗. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection ↗. If you engage in an edit war, you '''may be blocked ↗ from editing.''' NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 07:20, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

28-MAY-2019

Hello! The issues which I raised in my response to your edit request at Talk:Christian Moeller ↗ need to be resolved before the request can be properly reviewed. This covers the placing of ref tags within your requested prose. These ref tags help the reviewer to determine which reference applies to which portion of the text. Without them, the request cannot be reviewed. Kindly address these concerns before re-adding your request to the talk page. If you have any questions about this, please feel free to contact me on my talk page. Thank you! <span style="font-size:75%;border:2px solid red;border-radius:50px;font-color:#00008b"><span style="color:#00008b;"> <b>Spintendo</b> </span></span> 20:46, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi Spintendo,

I appreciate your prompt attention to this. Unfortunately, I do not know how I can better format the sourcing for the article, it is clear from the reference links that details about the article subject have changed.

As to birthplace and Nationality, how can that be sourced without violating the individual's privacy?

The remaining changes come directly from UCLA faculty staff and how is one to source that? Please, I would like advice on this as this has become far too onerous a task to correct a simple article created years ago.

Lastly, these accusations of Sock Puppetry are annoying and inaccurate and believed to be resolved months ago as evidenced in the Talk Page. I think these continue to cause a problem with this article.

File source problem with File:Taliabima2.jpg

64px|left|alt=|link= ↗
Thank you for uploading ''':File:Taliabima2.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, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page ↗.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion ↗ and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the '''image use policy ↗''' to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user=Boomslang}} list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page ↗.

Image source problem with File:World Peace Party Flyer.jpg

64px|left|Image Copyright problem|link= ↗
Thank you for uploading ''':File:World Peace Party Flyer.jpg ↗'''.

This image is a derivative work ↗, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright ↗ status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user=Boomslang}} in your upload log]. '''Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged''', as described in section F4 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗.

Proposed deletion ↗ of :UFO Collective ↗

left|link=|alt=Notice|48px| ↗

The article :UFO Collective ↗ has been proposed for deletion ↗ because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''Organization that fails WP:ORG ↗. No sources cited in the article. Searching finds little, no significant reliable independent coverage.'''</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons ↗.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary ↗ or on the article's talk page ↗.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process ↗, but other deletion process ↗es exist.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself ↗ without submitting a draft for review. However, you may continue submitting drafts to Articles for creation ↗ if you prefer.</div>

Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself ↗ without posting a request to Articles for creation ↗.</div>

'''Next steps'''

Find other Wikipedia articles related to your topic and add links pointing to the new article ↗. This helps readers find it.

Group the article with similar subjects by adding relevant categories ↗.

You may consider nominating a fact from the article ↗ within the next 7 days to appear on the Main Page's Did you know section ↗.

Wikipedia is a work in progress. You can continue to expand and improve the new article.

The new article will become eligible to be indexed on search engines ↗ once patrolled or after 90 days; search engines may take time to reflect this.

For friendly peer support regarding editing, sourcing, or policies, visit the Teahouse ↗, a question and answer hub for new editors.

Thanks again, and happy editing!
