Orphaned non-free image File:2kczech.svg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:2kczech.svg. 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. Image Screening Bot (talk) 03:32, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

August 2010

Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to The Sims Medieval. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Fin©™ 08:10, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles. There is a Manual of Style that should be followed. Thank you. Megata Sanshiro (talk) 11:01, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

September 2010

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Sega. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Bobby122 Contact Me (C) 02:11, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Redirects

In regards to some of your recent edits: links like FF layout and the like exist so they can be used instead of the full article name with a piped link. Redirects are a feature, not a bug. Please stop removing them. --Sable232 (talk) 05:23, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

I wanted to write about the same thing; you removed a bunch of WP:NOTBROKEN redirects on Take-Two Interactive. —Ost (talk) 22:02, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Apparently you don't get the message. If you continue "fixing" non-broken redirects you could potentially be blocked from editing. --Sable232 (talk) 21:00, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Regarding your recent edit on Mario Kart 8

Hello Bilbo571,

Mario Kart 8 has been getting a lot of vandalism lately... not sure why. I don't know whether you changing the director's name was a genuine mistake or whatnot, but don't let it happen again. It's been corrected since. Thanks.

Yours truly, Manfred von Karma. (talk) 06:29, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

Video games

Hey Bilbo571—thanks for your recent contributions. I noticed your interest in Wikipedia's video game content and thought you might be interested in the video games WikiProject. We've done some great work (over 300 pieces of Featured content and over 1000 Good articles), but there is plenty more to do. You can watch our announcements page for article review, feedback, and cleanup suggestions. Our talk page is a also good place to request third opinions and otherwise to ask questions and get feedback. If I can help with anything, swing by my talk page any time. Hope to see you around. czar 17:05, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
