A barnstar for you!

  The Resilient Barnstar
Fresh off a block, you've created the excellent Lake Street Elevated article - an impressive piece of work. Well done. Yunshui  08:19, 11 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

(Just as a corollary to that, be careful when reusing text from other Wikipedia articles (the section on Morgan is pretty close in content to the main Morgan (CTA station) article). You can resuse Wikipedia's content, but you need to attribute it correctly, otherwise you've violating the original writer's copyright. Have a look at Copying within Wikipedia for a full explanation.) Yunshui  08:23, 11 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Adminship

edit

With only 1400 edits to article space, you don't stand a chance of making it through RFA. 10,000 is about the minimum, with 30,000 or so about the average. I can also tell you that having me as a sponsor would do nothing but damage your candidacy: there's a loud contingent of editors that can't stand me, and they would be certain to show up at your RFA.

I would pay attention to editing for a couple of years, and then think about adminship.—Kww(talk) 01:49, 31 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

@Ozodor: Considering your block for copyright violations back in January, and the possible competency issues that were raised then, I can't see you passing an RfA anytime sooner than a year from now. I'll echo Kww's advice: edit articles -- then, if someone thinks you'd be a good admin, you'll be approached, but don't self-nominate. Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:58, 31 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

However, the image is currently 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).

Discussion at Talk:New Romantics

edit

You were pinged at this discussion after reverting my edits at the article without leaving an edit summary. It appears as if you are ignoring the talk discussion, which coupled with unexplained reversions is considered particularly bad form, particularly with your block record regarding non-free file uploading. If you did not get the notification about this discussion then please disregard the tone of this message. In any case, a reply is expected before other avenues of discussion are exercised regarding what I consider to be unnecessary use of non-free content in the article.

Side to Side cover art

edit

Hey OZODOR,

Just wanted to let you know that I removed the cover art that you provided in Side to Side. I tried to find that cover art on the Republic Records website and had trouble finding it. A reverse google search on the image led me to no reliable sources using that cover art, so I believe you have uploaded a fanart of the single. If you seem to have a direct and reliable link as to where you found this cover art, please tell me! —SomeoneNamedDerek (talk) 20:59, 13 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Side to Side. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. —SomeoneNamedDerek (talk) 20:16, 14 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Ethan Cutkosky , but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Materialscientist (talk) 08:06, 24 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

February 2017

Your recent editing history at Everyday (Ariana Grande song) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Abi-Maria (talk) 18:08, 6 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop making disruptive edits, as you did at Everyday (Ariana Grande song).

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Abi-Maria (talk) 02:38, 16 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Please link a reliable source under the parameter "source". I did a reverse image search and can't seem to find a reliable source.
