Edits to TheBus

Hello Prescotte, I am writing to discuss your edits to TheBus. I wanted to bring a few things to your attention:

Please do not remove maintenance tags like this without explaining why you are doing so in the edit summary.
Second, you are not using any edit summaries to describe any of your edits. It is a very good idea to use edit summaries so other editors will know what you are doing, and so you can explain any controversial edits to other editors. Please see Help:Edit summary if you have questions on how to use them.
Third, you keep adding images to Wikipedia that appear to be at least partial copyright violations. Even if you put together mosaics of previously created photographs, you need to show that all the images you are using are not protected under copyrights. Any violations of copyright law will be reverted and deleted from Wikipedia.

Thank you, 青い(Aoi) (talk) 07:21, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:TheBus (Honolulu) Flxible New Look 105.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:TheBus (Honolulu) Flxible New Look 105.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 21:05, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:TheBus (Honolulu) Flxible New Look 105.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:TheBus (Honolulu) Flxible New Look 105.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 22:24, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

March 2012

Your addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Bob Re-born (talk) 23:19, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistent disruptive editing. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. CharlieEchoTango (contact) 04:09, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You have been reverted and warned countless times on many articles by many different editors, and yet you chose to ignore the warnings and continue making edits requiring reverts. You may be unblocked if you convince administrators that you will stop your disruptive editing, as explained to you above. CharlieEchoTango (contact) 04:11, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
