Thanks for uploading File:Kick Buttowski (character).png. 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) 09:05, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Kick Buttowski (character).png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Template:Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the entry on the Templates for discussion page. --woodensuperman 09:25, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of serving heads of state and government that have visited Israel during the 2023 Israel–Hamas War is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of serving heads of state and government that have visited Israel during the 2023 Israel–Hamas War until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the ((Ctopics/aware)) template.

Iskandar323, You notify me that my article is nominated for deletion, but then you delete my comments and don't allow me to respond. Is that fair? At least restore my last comment with Strikethrough so other editors would be able to read it. Orwell1 (talk) 15:06, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The notification was automated, but I've restored your comment, as requested. Iskandar323 (talk) 15:13, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Orwell1. Thank you for your work on Zikim Beach massacre. User:SunDawn, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

Thank you for writing the article on Wikipedia! I genuinely appreciate your efforts in creating the article on Wikipedia and expanding the sum of human knowledge in Wikipedia. Wishing you and your family a great day!

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with ((Re|SunDawn)). Please remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Thanks SunDawn, I really appreciate it. Orwell1 (talk) 19:48, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have deleted the article you started about Zikim Beach. This is because, as a non-ECM editor, you are not allowed to edit articles on this topic; please see the contentious articles notice that was placed above. The link to this remedy is here. Also, the content was covered at Battle of Zikim, where I have redirected the title. Thank you, Black Kite (talk) 09:28, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Black Kite This is ridiculous. Have you even read the article? They are not discussing the same topic. The Battle of Zikim happened at a military base, while the Zikim Beach massacre occurred at a civilian beach. They are nearby each other, but they are not the same. Furthermore, this is not even mentioned in the Battle of Zikim article. My article is not the first one on this topic that wasn't created by a non-EMC editor. For example, the 2023 Erez airstrike and there are many more. My article was reviewed by an experienced editor, and I even received compliments for it. I ask you to restore this article and reread it. Orwell1 (talk) 10:00, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that the other article was created does not mean that you can also create an article. This remedy applies to the Arab-Israeli conflict, so you cannot make any edits in relation to that, including creating articles, until you are extended-confirmed. So please don't create any more articles about the topic. Galobtter (talk) 17:12, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Specifically, Non-extended-confirmed editors may not create new articles, but administrators may exercise discretion when deciding how to enforce this remedy on article creations. Deletion of new articles created by non-extended-confirmed editors is permitted but not required (emphasis added). The fact that admins do decide to let some of these articles survive doesn't prevent the specific admin who deleted your article from doing so. And 2023 Erez airstrike is a bad example, since it's up for deletion with votes clearly supporting deletion. Animal lover |666| 18:24, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Black Kite, Galobtter, Animal lover. Since I've just become an ECM editor recently, I request the restoration of this article. I would like to emphasize that it was originally written with numerous references and had been reviewed by SunDawn. This article exists in two other versions of Wikipedia, and there is no reason why the English Wikipedia should not have it. Thanks, Orwell1 (talk) 19:41, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Orwell1. Per the final bullet point in the warning message above, editors are expect to not game the system in contentious topic areas. Your past 500 edits, minor category additions in a blatant effort to gain extendedconfirmed status so that you could have an ECR-deleted page restored, are clear-cut gaming, and so I have revoked your extendedconfirmed status. You may reapply to me or at WP:PERM/EC after another 500 non-trivial, non-automated edits. This message also serves as a warning, to be logged, for gaming the system in the PIA topic area. Further misconduct may result in further sanctions without warning. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|she) 19:54, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
