[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Rollbar_head.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Rollbar_head.jpg. 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 on Wikipedia 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. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 04:32, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 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 2% for major edits and 0% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 110 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 03:00, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Thundercracker
The text you added was copyrighted, and therefore can not be included in Wikipedia under the terms of the GFDL. Additionally, you removed section headers and replaced them with bold text, which is not a positive change and goes against the manual of style. Thanks!--Sean Black (talk) 03:30, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Monsterbots
As I see Sean Black has explained re Thundercracker, do NOT be copying profiles from other sources like the DW MTMTE series. They're copyrighted text by another author who has given no permission for their use. Write original text, don't just copy it from other sources. I've removed 'em and restored the versions originally there.
(Oh, and I still hhhate dem info boxes, but that's more a personal thing so I'm conceding their presence for now.) - Chris McFeely, 27th April 2006
[edit] Copyrighted text and Manual of Style
Further to the above messages, this a request to please cease using copyrighted text in your edits. Rewrite the text in your own words and cite the sources. And please follow the Manual of Style. For example, use headers to create sections instead of bold text.--Drat (Talk) 15:22, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Swerve1.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Swerve1.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 01:11, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
