WHY ARE YOU TOUCHING MY SANDBOX

[edit]

??? LIKE CAN I EDIT ANYWHERE Haloretailstore (talk) 02:39, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ALSO U REMOVED A PIC OF AN ALBUM COVER WHICH IS LIKE… ISNT THAT FREE USE Haloretailstore (talk) 02:41, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Haloretailstore: I'm not JJMC89, but I will try to answer your question. First, though, posting message in all capital letters is generally seen as a form of WP:SHOUTing at someone over the Internet. I get that you're frustrated by the bot removing the file, but you won't get very far posting in all capital letters on Wikipedia. In fact, you might find that you end up getting the same response as you'll get from shouting at your TV, i.e., no response at all. So, please keep that in mind moving forward.
As for the bot and the file, File:PinkPantheress - Heaven Knows.png is non-free content and non-free content is required to be used in accordance with Wikipedia's non-free content use policy. This policy is very restrictive and one of the restrictions it places on non-free content is that such content can only be used/displayed in the WP:MAINSPACE (i.e., in Wikipedia articles). Such content can't used in user sandboxes. It's OK if you didn't know this when you copied and pasted the article Heaven Knows (PinkPantheress album) into your user sandbox, but that's why the bot removed the file.
Finally, it's generally not a good idea to copy-and-paste entire articles onto other Wikipedia pages (even a user sandbox) because of things such as this and also because there could be licesning issues per WP:CWW (WP:RUU). While it's true that users are allowed to experiment and do other things in their user sandboxes that might not be allowed in Wikipedia articles, user sandboxes are still pretty much subject to many of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines; so, you still can't do whatever you want in your user sandbox and others (bots included) can edit your sandbox if there's something about it that's not in acordance with some (typically a major) Wikipedia policy or guideline. Our userpages and all of the other pages in our user namespace belong to Wikipedia; Wkipedia is just letting us borrow them on the condition that we follow relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines when using them. If we stray too far outside the lines too many times when using our user namespace, Wikipedia can just take it back from us without prior warning. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:46, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock request

[edit]

This is a request to unblock the ip adress of anoter user whose mobile ip has been blocked.. Let me know can i do here it with ip address Akbarali (talk) 06:36, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is not the place to appeal a block. The blocked user should make the appeal themselves by following the instructions in the block message, not you proxying for them. — JJMC89 23:52, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

FYI: Some bad bot edits due to a bad template edit

[edit]

I noticed in Special:Diff/1301631548 that your bot removed a link to a file via {{-r}} claiming that it was a use of the file. Ultimately I think it was due to these two edits to the template, which I've reverted. I also reverted the bad bot edits that I was able to find, but you might want to check your logs to see if I missed any. Also I had used the shutoff link for the task while investigating, and since it's a json page I wasn't able to fully blank it as the instructions specify. Anomie⚔ 02:04, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. Special:Diff/1297736023 was the cause. — JJMC89 02:56, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User subpages ending in / again

[edit]

Could you please comment at Mediawiki talk:Titleblacklist#"Bad user subpages (ending in /)"? I don't know if the ping didn't go through or you just missed it, but it seems to deserve some kind of response. —Cryptic 15:36, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
