Waveform web designers

Please stop blanking the AFD page. Thanks. ...Scott5114 19:01, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Second warning. Repeat this and you will probably be banned. --kingboyk 21:49, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Third warning. You have again deleted other people's comments, which is not unacceptable, and you're removed the warnings from this page. --kingboyk 18:10, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you remove Articles for deletion notices or comments from articles and Articles for deletion pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Please do not add commercial links (or links to your own private websites) to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. See the welcome page to learn more. Thanks. --kingboyk 18:11, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Blocking

According to the block log, you haven't been banned yet. I believe they're just warning you that you will get blocked if you keep removing stuff from the AFD page. I can't block/unblock anyway; I'm not an administrator....Scott5114 18:18, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

You have been temporarily blocked for violation of the three revert rule. Please feel free to return after the block expires, but also please make an effort to discuss your changes further in the future. . The block is for 24 hours from now. Any further violations, or repeats of the behaviour warned above, may result in a longer block. - Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] 18:27, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Warning

Please do not blank AfD discussions, as you did with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Waveform web designers. I see you have already been warned for this sort of behaviour. Given that you also posted what looks like an abusive message on the closing admin's user page, be warned that any further abuse of Wikipedia could get you blocked again. —Whouk (talk) 15:17, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

My talk page

I think you were trying to leave an offensive comment on my User Talk page. Don't do it. There are enough block warnings on this page already. The Land 15:42, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Address removed as it is no longer available, sorry.

Image:Wikiomnicity.PNG

Can you please verify the copyright status of Image:Wikiomnicity.PNG. I've marked it as GFDL-presumed, but if you could clarify which license you would like to list it under, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks! --lightdarkness (talk) 15:48, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Visit this page and edit the {{GFDL-presumed}} tag to just say {{GFDL}}, which is the most common license image for images you've made yourself. --lightdarkness

Image uploads

Do not mark as GFDL images you do not own the copyright to. Photos should be uploaded as JPEGs, not PNGs. ed g2s • talk 19:02, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

PNG is a lossless compression, but as such it results in very large files for true-colour photos, so should only be used for low-colour images, such as diagrams. JPEGs are much preferred for photos for bandwidth considerations. ed g2s • talk 19:07, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
An image that you uploaded, Image:Tube map.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Further to the comment by ed g2s above, you uploaded this image under the GFDL as "my own image that i will let anyone use". It is clearly the copyrighted London Underground tube map, which you do not own the copyright of, and which you cannot therefore license under the GFDL. Whether this may be used as "fair use" is discussed at Talk:Tube map, but I have listed your upload as a copyright violation, per the above message box. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 20:36, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

anyone can use the tube map image as says tfl themself

quote from http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tube/maps/ You can download and print, or just view online and in the copyright notice Except solely for your own personal and non-commercial use meaning this is not commercial use as it is for refrence and im not selling or getting any money out of it. the southerner 20:50, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Firstly, since you appreciate it's not your image, you still cannot license the image under the GFDL. Since the image is still copyrighted by TfL, even if it is released under a "non commercial use allowed" license, it still cannot be legitimately used on Wikipedia (see [1]). I have now tagged the image appropriately as {{Noncommercial}}. I have update the listing on Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2006 February 15 and added a message on Talk:Tube map to gain the opinion of other editors. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 21:16, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Copyright violations - Bus images

I believe the following images are violations of copyright, lifted from [2], despite your claims to be the image owner. I have added "Possible Copyright Violation" tags to these images and reported them on the Copyright Problems page, on which they will be assessed by adminstrators. I've also removed them from the articles they appear in.

  • Despite the "Possible Copyright Violation" tag clearly stating no one should edit the media, you have since added "no copyright attached" to the description of Image:Wiki enviro 400.PNG. This image has clearly been lifted from another website, detailed in the tag, though you have defence to the use of this image (and the others you have uploaded from various sites) you follow the instructions in the tag and say so in Wikipedia:Copyright_problems. You should know, however, that consistently uploading copyright material, as well as claiming it your own, violates Wikipedia's rules and the administrators may block you.--Ayrshire--77 14:18, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Image:Wiki 7 car jubilee line train.JPG

A couple of points here:

  • Low colour images, such as diagrams, should be upload as PNGs
  • User lower case for file extensions
  • The London Underground roundel is copyrighted and therefore should be removed from the image
  • Is it necessary to should all the carriages - it just makes the image too small to see when it is resized down

ed g2s • talk 16:04, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

What you have created is a derivative work, but it still clearly violates their copyright. ed g2s • talk 16:34, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
I have had quick attempt Image:London Underground 1996 stock.png. ed g2s • talk 16:44, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

A few more points:

  • When you leave a comment somewhere, finish it with ~~~~, which gets converted to your username, with a timestamp.
  • Free images should be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons where they can be used by all projects, so if you could use a lowercase file extension (.png, not .PNG) and upload the images there, I'll delete the wikipedia ones.
  • Single line breaks are converted to spaces in a normal paragraph.

Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 0% for major edits and 0% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 4 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 09:30, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Style

Just to add to the bot's request that you use edit summaries (and please do so), please pay attention to WP:MOS when editing. In particular, please use proper capitalisation. All-lower-case may look cool, but it's not fair on other people who then have to go through and subedit everything you've done. Thanks! --Mpk 07:30, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:City_link_bus.PNG. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator.

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you have questions about copyright tagging of images, post on Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags or User talk:Carnildo/images. 03:14, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Do not change the lead image without discussing it and gaining agreement on the talk page first. Please read and be aware of the Three revert rule policy on Wikipedia. If you continue to revert without discussion then an univolved administrator may block you from editing for 24 hours.

File:Havant junction.JPG

Chances are that Paul Emery will be perfectly happy for us to have this picture but you must ask his permission.

Please provide a proper link to the source of Image:P86 stock.jpg so that others can judge what licence tag it should have (if it is allowed at all).

Ditto Image:City link bus.PNG - which should of course be a jpg (lower case).

Incidentally - have you ever tried using a spell checker? -- RHaworth 09:17, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

I have now deleted Image:City link bus.PNG now that you have uploaded Image:City link bus.JPEG. I'm not convinced that it has been released by the copyright holder, however, if you have just found it on Flikr you must gain the copyright holder's consent for it to be released under a free license. I have tagged Image:P86 stock.jpg as unlicensed since it would seem to have been sourced from a webpage without the copyright owner's consent. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 10:02, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

The website from which the image is said to come from has flagged all its website's content as copyrighted and is therefore illegible for use on Wikipedia unless specific authorisation and appropriate licence agreements has been met. See www.aeat.co.uk Captain scarlet 10:18, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
There is very rarely any need to upload copyrighted photos of trains as fair use as there are more often than not many free photographs. For example see commons:Category:Docklands Light Railway trains. Thryduulf 11:01, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Images

Please familiarise yourself with Wikipedia's image use policy before uploading any more images, and Wikipedia's civility policy before leaving any more messages. Your violations of these is disruptive to the project. ed g2s • talk 12:16, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Also, leaving messages on talk pages telling people to "shut up" is unacceptable and also violates Wikipedia:Civility. jacoplane 12:52, 31 March 2006 (UTC)


Image Tagging Image:New nir train.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:New nir train.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 00:25, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:C455_7.JPG. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

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

Hi there. I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article DLR P89 stock, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:DLR P89 stock. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. and the same on DLR P86 stock. Thanks Cje 10:02, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Disagreeing with me on this is fine. Removing a "Proposed deletion" tag without explanation, comment or even mention in the edit history is not. I have placed both articles on articles for deletion - see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DLR P86 stock. Cje 10:43, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Hello. I noticed you removed the Article for deletion tag on DLR P86 stock. Please refrain from doing so, because it can be viewed as vandalism. If the community decides that the page is worth keeping and fits in the inclusionary standards, it will remain. Please let your voice be heard on the correct page, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DLR P86 stock. And remember, as long as you remain civil and make a convincing argument about why the two pages should remain, it will remain. Pepsidrinka 11:10, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
I've withdrawn my proposal to delete. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DLR P86 stock for the discussion. I misjudged this one; but other editors caught my mistake and I accepted their correction. Wikipedia processes do work! Please take some time to read about the procedures and try following them. Removing delete tags, rather than making your case in the discussion page, gets everyone mad and you risk being blocked or even banned. I really hope that you can settle in here at Wikipedia. Cje 09:15, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Portsmouth metro

I've nominated the article Portsmouth metro for deletion under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Portsmouth metro satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. I have explained why in the nomination space (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Portsmouth metro. Don't forget to add four tildes (˜˜˜˜) at the end of each of your comments to sign them. You are free to edit the content of Portsmouth metro during the discussion, but please do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top). Doing so will not end the discussion. --RFBailey 15:37, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Please do not interfere with the AfD process. This includes removing Article for Deletion notices and tampering with AfD votes. If you continue to do so you may be blocked. If you disagree with the proposed deletion of the Portsmouth metro article, please discuss it on the article's articles for deletion page instead. Thanks, -- JoanneB 17:28, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

In response to the message "STOP" you left on my talk page, please remember that you should:
Threatening to vandalise other users' contributions (like this) is most definitely not civil, could be regarded as a personal attack and, if you carry out the threat, is likely to get you blocked. If you disagree with a nomination for deletion, you should discuss it on that article's entry. As far as Portsmouth metro is concerned, if you can provide sources that show that it was a bona fide, official proposal (like the South Hampshire Rapid Transit scheme), then please do so.
Finally, remember that at the bottom of every "edit" page, it says: If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed by others, do not submit it. The nature of Wikipedia is that you can't expect your contributions to be "left alone". --RFBailey 18:26, 18 April 2006 (UTC)


Your webpage, http://www.freewebs.com/dincov1/thecocacolapage.htm seems to be a copy of the wikipedia article Coca-Cola. Whilst this is possible, since the text of Wikipedia is licensed under the GFDL, to do so you must give credit to Wikipedia, provide (at least a link to) the users who developed the article, and provide a local copy of the GFDL terms, making it clear that the text is freely available under the GFDL. To include the copy without citing Wikipedia, and to include your own copyright as you are currently doing, is breaking copyright law. See Wikipedia:Copyrights for more information. I trust you will be able to update your webpage accordingly. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 14:29, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

PS, according to the copyright FAQ: Text in Wikipedia, excluding quotations, has been released under the GNU Free Documentation License (or is in the public domain), and can therefore be reused only if you release any derived work under the GFDL. This requires that, among other things, you attribute the authors and allow others to freely copy your work. (This is a summary, see the licence text for the exact details.) └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 14:36, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
I believe http://www.freewebs.com/districtline/history.htm, http://www.freewebs.com/jubileeline/historyandinformation.htm and http://www.freewebs.com/waveformtotp/showhistory.htm belong to you, too, and are also clear copyright violations of Wikipedia text. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 14:50, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
considering you have nothing to do with websites. ill tell you this. go to http://www.freewebs.com/dincov1/disclaimer.htm and you can see i have made a note of this. on other sites i have put a link on each to wikipedia on the home pages ok? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Unisouth (talk • contribs) .
no, not OK I'm afraid. I did note that you credited "some text from Wikipedia" on your disclaimer page, but that is not sufficient to meet the terms under which Wikipedia is licensed. The licensing is clear: Wikipedia must be credited on every page on which the content is used, and it must also be made clear that the content may be used by others under the terms of the GFDL. You must make this clear on the page on which the content is used, it is not acceptable to put one credit on a disclaimer page. Your page currently not only doesn't mention Wikipedia or the GFDL, the copyright message at the bottom of the page even makes it look as though you are claiming copyright of the text. Also, contrary to what you say, it is only the Coca-Cola page which links to your disclaimer, the other three pages don't seem to mention Wikipedia or link directly to any page which does. As it stands, your webpages violate copyright law. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 16:48, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
to summarize (from Wikipedia:Standard GFDL violation letter):
  • You must include links to the article(s) in Wikipedia you copied on the pages containing the copied/modified material;
  • You must include a visible GFDL notice on every page using Wikipedia content (one way of doing this would be to add the text "This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License, which means that you can copy and modify it as long as the entire work (including additions) remains under this license", and provide a link to a copy of the GFDL on your own site)
└ UkPaolo/talk┐ 16:57, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
Pleased to here it! Out of interest, how do you make money from your websites? the Google ad banners? Oh, and the coca cola page still seems to be there to me... └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 19:34, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
You told me you would "add the links by Sunday", yet your web pages all seem unchanged and remain in violation of copyright law. A reminder that you should credit the relevant Wikipedia articles and cite the GFDL on all pages using material from here... └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 11:37, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I have just deleted several images which you uploaded tagged with {{AllRightsReserved}}.

As a follow up to Thryduulf, above, I was about to leave a message regarding Image:Havant station old.jpg. You have tagged it to say that the image is copyrighted, yet the copyright holder has irrevocably released all rights to it, allowing it to be freely reproduced, distributed, transmitted, used, modified, built upon, or otherwise exploited in any way by anyone for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial, with or without attribution of the author. I doubt you've even notified havant.gov.uk that you've uploaded the image, yet alone sought or received their permission to "irrevocably release all rights" to the image, which according to their website is copyright and "may not be used without express permission". As I said above regarding the AllRightsReserved images, please ensure when tagging images that you are selecting the copyright correct copyright tag underwhich an image is licensed. Copyright images from websites who do not release rights to the image may not be uploaded. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 20:36, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Article proposed for deletion

Hi there. I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Denvilles halt, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Denvilles halt. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. --Barry Salter 01:24, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Your recent edits

I have reverted this edit which you made to Arriva London. An edit which you marked as "minor" with the summary "removed unneeded content" actually seemed to be about deleting most of the article. Similarly this edit to First London in which, without any kind of edit summary or explanation, you again removed a large amount of content. I have no particular knowledge of bus companies, and I would agree that both articles do, perhaps, need trimming down (I'm personally not convinced about including the addresses) but this is not the way to go about it. Any removal of content needs to be reasoned, and explained, please do not remove large portions of text without justification. I suggest you discuss future such edits on talk pages, or leave detailed edit reasoning in your edit summaries. Edits in which you remove large amount of content without summary, particularly marked as minor, may well be construed as vandalism. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 15:56, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

i hope above didnt force you but these garage details are not needed and in some cases illegal. i urge you to revert back to my corrections or further enquires will be needed the southerner 15:52, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
Regarding your message from my talk page (which I have copied above for clarity). Firstly, sonicKAI left me a message asking me to look into your edits after I made the two reverts which I listed above. He did not force me to do anything. As I said above, I would agree that full garage address details are not needed, but you removed significantly more than just that, hence I reverted your changes. I fail to see how any of the content is in some cases illegal and am intrigued as to your tone that further enquires [sic] will be needed. If any of the details in those articles are factually incorrect, feel free to remove them. Do not however, delete large portions of the article, without reasoning, justification, or (in some cases) even an edit summary. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 16:00, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
maybe but i removed all the addresses and thats all of whats left. hence you can see how much space is wasted. so im going to remove ALL of these and thats final. all you need is a list of buses operated and the locations of the depots/garages not the addreses and which bus leaves where. thats stupid. so as from now - no more addresses. the southerner 16:12, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
I do not like the tone of your reply so im going to remove ALL of these and thats final is not in keeping with the collaborative spirit with which this encylopedia is being written. I have no problem with you reducing the full address to just the location of the garage, but that is not what those edits which I reverted did. Those edits removed significantly more information, without reasoning. Go ahead and remove the addresses, but please give your reasoning in the edit summary, and do not delete large amounts of the article. You have made some valuable contributions to transport articles on Wikipedia, but I would urge you to remain civil in your conduct with other users (as well as remaining informed of copyright regulations). Point-scoring with sonicKAI is not helping anyone: you have both made valuable contributions to Wikipedia so please stop this arguing across your talk pages. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 16:17, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
why does everyone on this stupid excuse for an online encyclopedia keep starting on me. ive made up my mind. im going on a rampage and then you lot will see whats good and whats bad. i was just trying to be civil but you should know what that is the way you keep oning about it. see you when you dont want me to see you. the southerner 16:15, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
everyone is a gross overstatement. As I said above, you've made many valuable contributions. People have pointed out copyright violation problems, and they've every right to — Wikipedia has a duty to be careful about legal matters. I reverted this edit which you just made. Whilst I appreciate you having reasoned the removal in the edit summary (although I would, personally, dispute that those things are illegal) you removed significantly more than just operator codes and registration numbers. I refuse to believe that all of what you removed was un-needed content. Regarding your last message, I would advise you not to review WP:POINT and do not be tempted to disrupt Wikipedia to prove a point. Myself, or another adminstrator would have no hesitation in blocking you if that is the route you choose to take. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 16:22, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
It is utter nonsense to justify this blanking "due to illegal content". I dispute that any aspect of the article is illegal let alone all of it. In any case, blanking the article is not the solution. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 16:25, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
no its not the route i will take......but if this other editor keeps trying to prove-a-point then ban him as i dont want all this hassle. i still believe its a poor excuse for an encyclopedia if i cant even edit anymore as the other [non-] contributer keeps trying to prove a point. the only way i can stop it is delete his edits. which im not im just removed all the garage information whichs includes operator codes and registration numbers which ARE ILEGAL using real ilegal content (not just images because thats just borrowing without asking which i do not) he should be banned. i respect everyones opinion but if this is the way is has to be. this is the way is has to be. i strongly think that wikipedians (aint that dumb) should be put through a mental online test before coming here and think there all that. as for over a million articles - fulse. most pages only have two lines and thats only got information we already know about. dont block me from editing without notice. the southerner 16:31, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
I gave notice, above. I think you should relax about blocks/bans, however, I do not wish to have to block either yourself or sonicKAI and have no intention to block either one of you unless you give me good grounds. I have advised sonicKAI that he should remain civil to you, and cease arguing, and also told him my opinion of garage addresses. I have no problems with you replacing garage codes with a location, or removing registration numbers (although, whilst they may not be encyclopedic or belong here, I still doubt that there inclusion is illegal). I will not tolerate blanking of entire articles on such grounds, however. Try to remove only the information that needs removing, not the entire history sections. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 16:37, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
afer reading your message on that poisons talk page i respect you to leave my only personal space on here alone. if i blank my talk page it will stay blank you here. avoid confrontation no i wont but i will when every contrib' of its is gone or at least made better through modification addresses and [valid] registration paltes are ilegal to put up to the public unless it has strictly got permision by the vechcle owner of which who is allowed. i do know these things and all subsiqeunt edits of my edits will be reverted no matter what the ridiculous 3rr rule is. the southerner 16:41, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
there is no personal space, all of your contributions have been licensed under the GFDL, and can thus be copied or modified. You said above that you wanted "notice" of a block so here it is: continuing to act in this manner, and acting with a disregard for the 3RR is likely to get you blocked. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 16:47, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

You have failed to respond to a number of messages on this talk page regarding copyright violation. Firstly, my message above regarding a number of your web pages which directly copy material from Wikipedia without acknowledgement, and without reference to the GFDL (and which, furthermore, are marked as copyrighted by yourself). You have failed to take any action (so far as I can tell) contrary to your initial reply to me. I suggest you cite Wikipedia and detail that the text is available under the terms of the GFDL, removing your own copyright notices, on all pages on which Wikipedia content is used, or your ISP may well be contacted to ask them to take down your site which is in breach of copyright law. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 15:56, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Please also respond to a number of messages from both myself and other users regarding the copyright status of a number of images you have uploaded. In particular, Image:Havant station old.jpg which you have tagged it to say that the image is copyrighted, yet the copyright holder has irrevocably released all rights to it, allowing it to be freely reproduced, distributed, transmitted, used, modified, built upon, or otherwise exploited in any way by anyone for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial, with or without attribution of the author. I doubt you've even notified havant.gov.uk that you've uploaded the image, yet alone sought or received their permission to "irrevocably release all rights" to the image, which according to their website is copyright and "may not be used without express permission". └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 15:56, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Thankyou. Following this edit, I have deleted the image, which you acknowledged was "AllRightsReserved" (and may thus not be used here). └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 16:11, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

blocked for vandelism

Why have i been blocked for vandelism when i have not? Why did the editor who blocked me get a reward (barnstar) for it? All i did is put an external link on a page and then got blocked!

Your user name is not blocked (you can always check here). You have been autoblocked, which we talked about before. You need to email the admin and get them to remove the block.--Commander Keane 10:13, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
I am reluctant to help you when you continue to leave myself & others threatening messages [4][5][6]. As I said previously, I suggest you be a little more civil in your request for assistance. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 10:19, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

No personal attacks

You have been temporarily blocked from editing for disrupting Wikipedia by making personal attacks. If you wish to make useful contributions, you are welcome to come back after the block expires. RexNL 12:41, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

You need to keep your talk page as a record of communication. In your case I'm afraid you've had warnings for various things over hte past few months and it's important than any editors coming to here to warn you about something can see if you've been had a similar message before. Given the size of your talk page currently, I do recommend that you archive it. —Whouk (talk) 13:21, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Yet another image stolen and passed off as your own

You have stolen Image:Central line train interior.JPG from my Squarewheels.org.uk website, re-saved it at lower quality, and then had the cheek to submit it stating that it was your own picture. It isn't. I took it. It is clearly copyrighted and not in the public domain. You have a long history of doing this. Please stop. Richard Griffin. 62.56.72.83 13:29, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Liar on the Wikipediaholic test.

I can't beleive you are stil lying across the internet. Like your claims to own a TV Production company, a web design firm and own the Thorpe Park group, in addition to claiming to have done the Tube Challenge in 17 hours as well as pretending you own Wikipedia & Coca-Cola, is making this stuff up how you get your kicks? If you were at least going to pretend you'd scored well on your test, you should at least have come up with a plausible score, not one that's 5 times higher than anyone else. I know you'll end up blanking this comment to pretend I haven't made it, but people should know you for the fraud you are. 212.219.188.253 11:15, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

LUL trains

Your liveried LUL trains you have released under the GPL license are in fact, copyrighted by LUL. I know of various people working at TfL and LUL and they have seen no valid permission for you to take the images. While it could be seen as fair use, I personally believe that a picture of the trains would be sufficient. Tubechallenger 14:07, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Blocked.

Hi. No I didn't deliberately block you, just an IP address that was vandalising. Are you still having problems editting? You seem to be a user in good standing so there is no reason you would be blocked. If you are having issues I'll lift the block and just deal with the vandal as and when he does something.

License tagging for Image:DENVILLES NAME BOARD.PNG

Thanks for uploading Image:DENVILLES NAME BOARD.PNG. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, 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:
