Using your userpage as a linkfarm to your Website

Your userpage is not to be used as advertising or promotion as a pseudo-article. Remember that Wikipedia is not a social network like Twitter or Facebook. You may not host your own website, blog, wiki, or cloud at Wikipedia. Your userpage is for anything that is compatible with the Wikipedia project. It is a mistake to think of it as a homepage: Wikipedia is not a blog, webspace provider, or social networking site.--Hu12 (talk) 23:17, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

regarding your self image...

It's terrifying! lol — - dain- talk 03:35, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please avoid copy-pastes and close paraphrasing.

Your edits to History of BMW motorcycles included significant duplication of text from © Copyright BMW AG, Munich, Germany. All rights reserved. See Duplication Detector, and Close paraphrase and Copyright violation.

I think it's more useful to work from third party sources rather than from a company's own marketing materials, so that you can include those details that independent sources thought were notable. Marketing BS has too much detail and touts unimportant technologies, which don't belong in an encyclopedia. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 22:27, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

December 2014

Hello, I'm Dennis Bratland. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to BMW R1200RT because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!

File source problem with File:Colt Anacondas in 3 barrel lengths.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Colt Anacondas in 3 barrel lengths.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 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 list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

File copyright problem with File:Colt Anacondas in 3 barrel lengths.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Colt Anacondas in 3 barrel lengths.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Kelly ^hi! 14:42, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please upload free images to Commons.

Thank you for uploading free images/media to Wikipedia! As you may know, there is another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In the future, please upload media there instead (see m:Help:Unified login). That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view your previous uploads). Please note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Help us spread the word about Commons by informing other users, and please continue uploading!
