Using Images
I see you've been trying to add images to wikipedia. For an image to be shown in wikipedia, you must first upload it. If you don't you can still make a link to it that people can click to see it, but it won't display directly. If you consider uploading images, bear in mind that wikipedia has a strict policy of not accepting copyrighted images - that pretty much excludes everything you'll find on the internet. Have a look at Wikipedia:Images to learn more about how it works. Jens Nielsen 07:27, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi, the recent edit you made to Bill O'Reilly (commentator) has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks – Qxz 02:29, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Bill O'Reilly (commentator). – Qxz 02:35, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Alexsmart! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot notifying you on behalf of the the unreferenced biographies team that 1 of the articles that you created is currently tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 872 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag.
