==Orphaned non-free image File:JCCCPetal En Wikipedia.png==
[[File:Ambox warning blue.svg|35px|text-top|left|⚠|link=]] Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:JCCCPetal En Wikipedia.png]]'''. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|claim of fair use]]. However, the image is currently 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 [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Policy|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 [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#F5|section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion]].

:Hi DMushcott! Yes I reverted your edits. To me they looked like maybe [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|Non-Neutral Point of view]] edits or maybe [[Wikipedia:Vandalism#Types_of_vandalism|vandalism]]. Since there was no [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]], I didn't know why the edits were made. I knew that Innovis is a credit reporting agency, so a new user making edits like those looks like perhaps someone who is trying to remove mention of it. Please feel free to make any constructive edits to articles, but remember to say why you made the edits. Also, you marked the edits as [[Help:Minor_edit|Minor edits]]. Minor edits are for things like spelling, whitespace edits, grammar, etc. Removing content should never be marked as a minor edit, unless those edits were vandalism. There are certain articles that I monitor (as all users do and can, just click the star at the top of the article), and when I saw a minor edit that removed content with no edit summary, I reviewed the edit, then reverted it as it didn't seem constructive.

== Wiki Loves Pride 2014 ==

Hi Dillard. In case you are not aware, there is an upcoming campaign to improve coverage of LGBT-related topics on Wikipedia, culminating with an international edit-a-thon on June 21. See '''[[Wikipedia:Wiki Loves Pride 2014|Wiki Loves Pride 2014]]''' for more information. If you are interested, you might consider creating a page for a major city (or cities!) near you, with a list of LGBT-related articles that need to be created or improved. This would be a tremendous help to Wikipedia and coverage of LGBT culture and history. Thanks for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions! --<font color="navy">[[User:Another Believer|Another Believer]]</font> <sub>(<font color="cc6600">[[User talk:Another Believer|Talk]]</font>)</sub> 16:32, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

==[[Shooting of Michael Brown]] Page Protection==
Why is the Michael Brown page locked?
There's lots of inaccuracies.
You cherry picked a USA article on grand juries which gives an inaccurate legal
perspective. In some high profile cases, including federal and rIco cases, the grand jury is presented with enormous amounts of evidence over a period of months.
Also Brown was not a student. His enrollment in the local technical school for a business certificate was never established.

:Hi 173.63.42.120, The reason that Michael Brown is protected is to prevent vandalism. Since the page is so high profile, it is a target of vandalism. According to a Wikipedia Help article, Wikipedia: Protection Policy:
<blockquote class="templatequote">Semi-protection prevents edits from unregistered users (IP addresses), as well as edits from any account that is not autoconfirmed (is at least four days old and has at least ten edits to Wikipedia) or confirmed. This level of protection is useful when there is a significant amount of disruption or vandalism from new or unregistered users, especially when it occurs on biographies of living people who have had a recent high level of media interest.{{#if:[[Wikipedia:Protection_policy#semi]]

:I Highly encourage you to edit the English Wikipedia with [[WP:Source|reliable sources]]. If you would like to edit protected pages, you must first create an account.

Hello. Could you elaborate on this edit of yours? It looks like this was a subst'd anchor of the section in order to avoid broken section links, subst'd per the directions on Template:Anchor's documentation. What error does this cause? InfiniteNexus (talk) 04:32, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like you know what you're talking about and I didn't, so it should be reverted or fixed. HTML tags are commonly placed in articles on accident, which is why they are highlighted by WPCleaner. In this instance, there was context to the tag. I've already changed it back Special:Diff/1200738211. Good catch. Cheers Dillard421♂♂ (talk to me) 04:25, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Are you saying this is a bug on WPCleaner's part? If so, please notify its operators. InfiniteNexus (talk) 21:44, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No this is not what I'm saying. It highlights tags for a reason. It's fine, the issue has been fixed. Thanks for the heads up. Cheers. Dillard421♂♂ (talk to me) 22:03, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
