Replaceable fair use File:FayAnnLyons-BeatBreastCancerMusicFestival2011.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:FayAnnLyons-BeatBreastCancerMusicFestival2011.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

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

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. 08:45, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Fay Ann Lyons missbehave2012 single.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Fay Ann Lyons missbehave2012 single.jpg, which you've sourced to IZATRINI.com. 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

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at

non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags
for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

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.

If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 05:51, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the no permission tag, because you've credibly given a good license. However, I've added a no source tag because the source you gave was directly to the URL, so there's no way of us verifying the license. Please edit the page to give a link to the description page so we can verify everything you've given. Magog the Ogre (talk) 01:05, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

January 2021

Your account has been blocked indefinitely for

Terms of Use, as you did at Buy Nothing Project. This is because you have been making promotional edits to topics in which you have a financial stake, yet you have failed to adhere to the mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a form of conflict of interest (COI) editing which involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is strictly prohibited. Using this site for advertising or promotion is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia.

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, please read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text {{unblock|reason=your reason here ~~~~}} at the end of your user talk page

. For that request to be considered, you must:

  • Confirm that you have read and understand the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements.
  • State clearly how you are being compensated for your edits, and describe any affiliation or conflict of interest you might have with the subjects you have written about.
  • Describe how you intend to edit such topics in the future.

Request reason:

I will be happy to share my bank statements to prove I have never been paid (or tried to get paid) for anything I have ever done on Wikipedia. Joe Roe, is it customary to convict a person without their knowledge or even any actual evidence? If anyone received payment under the user SocaAmbassadour, it would have to be a hacker, not me the original owner of the username. I hereby confirm that I have read and understand the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements. (You do realise the Buy Nothing Project is about not using money transactions, right? How would I actually get paid? This smacks of mischief) State clearly how you are being compensated for your edits: not being compensated, now or ever: feel free to contact the founders of the Buy Nothing Project and ask them about the admin who runs the Buy Nothing Travelers Network, who tried to make a wikipedia article to share about the BNProject. Describe how you intend to edit such topics in the future: Wikipedia has never been a place for me to do anything but exercise my passion for topics of which I think the world should know - whoever ascribed something different to my intent, that's not my fault - and I no longer have any interest in contributing to this encyclopedia beyond making minor edits on articles I previously created or edited, just to keep things factual, where necessary. MissParker (talk) 09:26, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

If you aren't being paid, then you're not in violation of our terms of use. However, you seem to be admitting that you have a

our best practices for editors with a conflict of interest, you stand a better chance of being unblocked. Part of this entails being straightforward about the nature of your COIs and properly disclosing them. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 16:04, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

You obviously work for Buy Nothing, which was confirmed by nonpublic evidence submitted in ticket:2021010410000487. The nature of your compensation is between them and you, and is completely irrelevant here: the point is that you have a material interest in promoting them that is contrary to our interest in writing a neutral encyclopaedia. You were asked to acknowledge this and follow our rules two and a half years ago, but chose to ignore it. – Joe (talk) 11:19, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
