Would you also please explain to me this indefinate block on a userpage attached to your page? here.

Thanks for commenting, discussion is very important here, the article was locked recently for revert warring, and if the reverting continues it will be locked again, at the moment there are multiple reverts occurring and it is better to ask on the talk page for opinions as from other editors for what you want to add or remove. Try to apprecate that there are other editors that hold the opposite opinion of this guy to you and both sides of the story should be included in the article. Thanks.

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

It looks like you have been involved in a long term edit war at

I've made a suggestion over at Talk:Edward Wyckoff Williams, which you might like to consider addressing while the article is protected from editing. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:44, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see you're working on the talk page of the article to get a consensus going, that's good. The other user, who was impersonating your account with the addition of a 2 had been blocked in case you didn't know. They will probably come back as an anon IP again, or as a newly created account once the autoblock expires. Another place to post for help if you run into problems like this again on a biography of a living person is the

File permission problem with File:Heidi Albertsen, Lower Eastside Service Center, May 2009.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Heidi Albertsen, Lower Eastside Service Center, May 2009.jpg, which you've sourced to Heidi Albertsen. 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 permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter

  }} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

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 your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on

Thanks for uploading File:Photo of model Heidi Albertsen.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to
   di-replaceable fair use disputed
   }}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 19:16, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
