Orphaned non-free image File:Tenet movie poster 3.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Tenet movie poster 3.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:47, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

September 2020

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Mughal Empire. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Idell (talk) 03:34, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

Please also note that Misplaced Pages does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Misplaced Pages in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy.

My name is the name of my YouTube channel, that I own personally with no others. I do not believe my username violates the username policy.

First of all, sign. Second of all, it sounds like a company. Please state it's your YouTube channel on your userpage. --67.85.37.186 (talk) 23:59, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Fleming

Clearly, you saw the note in the edit screen that said: "A consensus exists not to have an infobox – see Talk:Ian Fleming/Archive 3#Is the collapsed box needed – so please do not put an infobox without seeking to change that consensus on the talk page.". But you decided to stick two fingers up to this consensus and went ahead and added one anyway. This is disruptive behaviour. Show a little respect in future. Thank you.

Mass image changes

You really should stop making unilateral image changes across articles. Go to the talkpages of such articles & seek a consensus for the images you're pushing. GoodDay (talk) 21:05, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

I agree with GoodDay. This is especially true for legendary bios. You replaced several images simply because they were B&W when the replacement was clearly poorer quality. Color isn't automatically better. There are numerous excellent B&W images for bios throughout Misplaced Pages. And it's generally standard procedure to seek consensus to change the infobox image for major figures before changing. And yet you have continued to change them without discussion even after we have asked you to stop. Please stop changing images without discussion. Sundayclose (talk) 03:37, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

I agree with GoodDay and Sundayclose. There are considerations beyond simple aesthetics for images in bio infoboxes. For example, portraits are preferred: Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style/Images#Image quality. In any case, you should engage in discussion with other editors when they revert you or ask you to stop before you make additional changes. Replying to the messages here would be a good start. — Tartan357   01:53, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Okay, I’ll try to seek consensus before I change anymore images. Relevation Animations (talk) 01:58, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of User:Relevation Animations

Your user page, User:Relevation Animations, has been speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This was done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be advertising which only promoted or publicized someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Misplaced Pages to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, or you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
