RE: Vandalism

I'm extremely sorry for thinking that your edit was vandalism. The reason why I "thought" it was vandalism is because editors who usually change the roster are vandals, changing the name and all that. I should have made sure if it was true or false by searching it up. Again, I am very sorry for giving you a vandalism message, and hope you could just forget about this. Hope you'll contribute more to Wikipedia by joining WikiProjects and promoting featured content, and happy editing. -- [[SRE.K.A.L.|L.A.K.ERS]] 02:29, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, It's all good. Thanks for clearing things up. -- ĴoeĴohnson|2 01:30, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nice job

Fixing the edits I made on the Kobe Bryant page. I think it looks much more professional than what it was before I made the edits. Thanks for helping out. Chasesboys (talk) 01:19, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh anytime dude! Your edit was solid, but I just had to tweak it a little bit. I just couldn't help myself. :) Keep up the good work! -- ĴoeĴohnson|2 01:47, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Images

Hi! Whenever you upload images by Keith Allison from flickr, please add it to the list User:Noble Story/Keith Allison photos. We at the WP:NBA are trying to keep track with images. Thanks. I've add some for you already.—Chris! _ct 21:22, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, will definitely do that the next time I upload his work. -- ĴoeĴohnson|2 21:35, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kobe Bryant offensive image caption

I got the notice about the Kobe Bryant caption. I have contacted the flickr contributor. However, I do not understand why you removed content on my user talk page with this edit.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 15:20, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No. I flickr under my real name Antonio_Vernon although I don't actually spell my name with an underscore. Last year Kobe did not have enough images for the amount of prose IMO, so I found that one and File:Kobe Bryant Beijing Olympics 20080810 d-1024-627v.jpg. There might have been a third one that has disappeared, if I recall.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 06:06, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll keep my commentary on my talk page. I have replied.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 08:16, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am soliciting comments at Talk:Kobe Bryant.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 17:43, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Laker image

Yes it cleared things up, thanks. Black 'n Red 04:18, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Kobe Bryant article

Looks good to me, but if you change the top picture, you might receive some hell from other users who prefer one image to another. --Ted87 (talk) 05:30, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Image alteration

Hi, I see that you have introduced some altered images in articles (i.e. Julius Erving). There is nothing wrong with that, but I just don't think significant image alteration is a good idea. I think you have done a supreme job on finding images, so hopefully you will continue to do that.—Chris!_c/t 22:52, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok that's cool... I will definitely continue to look for more nba images. Thanks. -- ĴoeĴohnson|2 02:21, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:StaplesCenterLogo.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:StaplesCenterLogo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. 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 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Los Angeles Lakers

I see that you've made a number of contrinutions to the Lakers' article. We're getting it ready for FA over here at the WP:NBA. There's also a to do list that you can add things to, comment on, or otherwise help with, and a few comments here. Your help would be appreciated. Quadzilla99 (talk) 03:54, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Image stuff

You never replied. Do you still need my help? I see you filed the report. Have you looked at the images's metadata? Surely the fact that different cameras were used would be a point against the guy.--Wehwalt (talk) 16:42, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Suns help

Wanting to know if you'd help with JJ's former team. I'm wanting to improve the season articles for the Suns. Articles exist for some of their better years, but not much for the years they didn't do so well. Just yesterday, I created a lot of articles and created division standings in a box form. It seems I'm having some issues with the "-". When I go to established articles, I see the article titles have an extended dash; however, the ones I created yesterday, for example this one, don't seem to pop up in WP's search bar. I've read special characters, such as a dash, would require a redirect, but I don't see redirects listed on existing articles, such as this one. Any help would be much appreciated! 15:59, 10 December 2010 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zepppep34 (talk • contribs) Need to using the en sign, apparently, although I'm not sure how to implement this when going about creating an article.

Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Fredler Brave

In your CCI request you indicated File:MiamiHeat2010Preseason.jpg as likely copyvio. I'm aware that there's a pattern of repeated copyright violations, but given the relatively low quality of this particular image did you have any other reasons why you singled it out? VernoWhitney (talk) 17:24, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

3rr

Hi Joe - I saw your posted warning to the anonymous user about potentially violating the three revert rule. I'd like to draw your attention to the exemption that is included for the removal of unsourced or poorly sourced controversial material from BLP's. Combining the fact that that general exemption exists, all of the material he has been reverting is most certainly at best poorly sourced, the page is surprisingly high visibility currently, and all the material he has been reverting comes from WP:SPA's, I don't believe that he is in any danger of committing a violation of the spirit (or for that matter the written letter) of the WP:3RR. Kevin (talk) 23:45, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're absolutely correct! Thanks for bringing this to my attention; I will rectify my mistake ASAP. -- ĴoeĴohnson|2 06:03, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to look at edits on IQ reference chart

I see the article IQ reference chart has been tagged for expert review since October 2012. As part of a process of drafting a revision of that article in my user sandbox, I am contacting all Wikipedians who have edited that article since early 2009 for whom I can find a user talk page.

I have read all the diffs of all the edits committed to the article since the beginning of 2009 (since before I started editing Wikipedia). I see the great majority of edits over that span have been vandalism (often by I.P. editors, presumably teenagers, inserting the names of their classmates in charts of IQ classifications) and reversions of vandalism (sometimes automatically by ClueBot). Just a few editors have referred to and cited published reliable sources on the topic of IQ classification. It is dismaying to see that the number of reliable sources cited in the article has actually declined over the last few years. To help the process of finding reliable sources for articles on psychology and related topics, I have been compiling a source list on intelligence since I became a Wikipedian in 2010, and I invite you to make use of those sources as you revise articles on Wikipedia and to suggest further sources for the source on the talk pages of the source list and its subpages. Because the IQ reference chart article has been tagged as needing expert attention for more than half a year, I have opened discussion on the article's talk page about how to fix the article, and I welcome you to join the discussion. The draft I have in my user sandbox shows my current thinking about a reader-friendly, well sourced way to update and improve the article. I invite your comments and especially your suggestions of reliable sources as the updating process proceeds. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 20:17, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free use of File:Espn2006nbascore.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Espn2006nbascore.jpg. However, there is a concern that the use of the image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content.
