{{help-me}} I have spotted some spamming activity on behalf of megadry [dot] com where user Whynotthestars has been adding links to this site, as has Hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis has also removed a link to a non profit organisation that works in the same field. I am not sure the 'correct' way to act here as both have already been warned for spamming over the megadry links (but not the link removal). I have reinstated the non-profit link as it seems reasonable.

Thanks for taking care. You can report here. Then the administrators can handle the case. Happy editing.--Thw1309 13:25, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Suite Life of Zack & Cody & Suite Life on Deck

I checked the references you used. http://www.disneyfanclub.org/blog/disney-fan-club-team/afterlife-for-suite-life does not meet the WP:RS reliable source criteria as it is repeating speculation on a fan site. http://disneyenquirer.com/NewsArticle-716 is accurate and supports that Disney was planning a show with that name but by itself is not conclusive of it actually happening or that a pilot was shot. I don't think this information can be supported as being in the article with those references. I think the most we can say is that Disney considered a spin off but we can't say anything more on what the future plans for it are. --NrDg 17:59, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

It's really tricky - there is a lot of speculation about this and it seems to be what is occupying fans at the moment. I think that there needs to be a way to report that there is speculation without implying that it is fact. I had hoped that my new section was a way to do that.

Copied above and replied on show discussion page. Let's continue the discussion there so other editors can participate. --NrDg 16:16, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image Copyright

I believe that this image [[1]] is incorrectly licensed - the website that contains this image (livius.org) does contain the following text "Unless otherwise indicated, pictures on this page © Marco Prins and Jona Lendering. Photos can be downloaded and used for non-commercial purposes, but you have to acknowledge Livius." however the image page has GPLed the image! Note: I am asking for help here because I don't want to start a huge flame war about image licensing on the main help page - if this was wrong them please flame me here!

you can ask User talk:Jeffrey O. Gustafson because he's an administrator and has removed many of my pictures due to violation (i didn't know). He suggested I ask before posting further images, so I think he can help you.--Ccson (talk) 21:41, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
