Understood and I'll just let it go. The person keeps putting a reference to a news article that has no actual basis in fact (that I can acertain). I'll let others deal with the jerk.

::::A personal attack would be a public statement from me to the person being "attacked", not me saying to a third party that "so and so is a jerk" on my own talk page.voiceofreason 21:59, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

:::::Yes, it is a personal attack. From what you've posted here and on the Munroe article talk page, it seems you need some help understanding Misplaced Pages policies. My suggestion is that you start here (]) to expand your understanding before editing and making any further comments. I'd hate to see you get into trouble or blocked from editing for a period of time. Also, please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~) and use the "Edit summary" provided at articles and talk pages. -- <span style="text-shadow: 4px 4px 15px #0099FF, -4px -4px 15px #99FF00;">]</span> ● <span style="text-shadow: 4px 4px 15px #FF9900, -4px -4px 15px #FF0099;">] ]</span> 22:09, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Welcome

Hello, Mcgyver2k, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome! Aboutmovies (talk) 06:38, 15 January 2012 (UTC) If I find something on the internet that doesn't have a copyright or contact information for the person who put it there then I am pretty sure that the person doesn't care if others use it. In order for there to be "ownership" there must be an "owner" that is identifiable. Think of it like this, if you find a penny on the street, does it belong to you? Could I spent a huge amount of time trying to find out who the penny belongs to before deciding to spend it? Let's be realistic here, shall we?

File permission problem with File:Bicycle 01.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Bicycle 01.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for 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-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

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 Misplaced Pages:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Misplaced Pages: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.
