Notice of Policy Violation

Hello, BURGHALGNOME. Your map image File:Imt-glaoveln-map-fixed.png is being deleted as of 7/9/2024 due to violation of policy #3: Edit respectfully and civilly. The text within your image contains wording stating: "There was a better map but wiki policy pulled it down so you get this map. Enjoy." This is not respectful or civil. Due to this, you are on your first warning for policy violation under Content, Article, and Image Removals. If you wish to appeal this decision, you may email gs4-wiki@play.net.

Strange how uncivil facts are around here. -Burghalgnome.

Map Image At Risk For Deletion

Hello, BURGHALGNOME. You recently uploaded a map image to the wiki, File:Imt-glaoveln-map.png, that appears to violage the Gswiki:Policy for Copyrights, specifically for Maps. Maps should only be uploaded by the original creator or, in certain circumstances, the editor who updated the map to account for new areas. There does not appear to be any statement on the map image to indicate that you have edited it or when. This is required for all map images that have been modified by someone other than the original map creator. I have flagged the map image for moderator review and deletion.

If this file is the original, unedited map image, it will need to be uploaded by the original map creator. If you have made edits to the map, then you will need to indicate this per the copyright section on maps and reupload it with that text included both on the image itself as well as in the image file comments. If an image file update is not added within 7 days, this image will be deleted from the wiki. Please do not remove the {{moddelete}} template from the image. Another moderator or I will remove that template after your updates have been reviewed to ensure that they meet Gswiki:Policy requirements. If you have any questions about this process or need more information about the updated policy for maps, please reach out to the wiki team on the Gemstone Discord forum's wiki thread. Thank you for understanding. HOST-GSKEBECHET (talk) 11:45, 26 June 2024 (CDT)

Timeline - Imperial Northern Aggression

Hi there, BURGHALGNOME. In response to your question about the categories I adjusted on your article, Timeline - Imperial Northern Aggression, this was done because the article is presented as a character-written essay and was labeled by you as player-written creative content. Typically, larger over-encompassing categories such as those for an entire nation or race are not appropriate for player-written creative content. However, smaller and more specialized categories, such as Category:Wehnimer's Landing Independence are still very appropriate; those smaller categories are in turn lumped in with the larger categories to help facilitate users finding related articles. The examples you shared are standalone articles and not player-written creative content. There are tens of thousands of articles on the Gswiki, and if some are improperly categorized, other moderators or I adjust them as we run across them. This is usually, but not exclusively, based on which articles have had recent edits, which is why you likely have seen that many older articles are not necessarily in compliance with current Gswiki Style Guide standards.

Hopefully this explanation helps you better understand why I adjusted the categories on your article. As an aside, if you ever need to add a "signature" to a something communicated via talk pages, you can do so by inserting ~~~~ following your message; while not required, it is an easy way to do so that is built into the Media Wiki software. Thank you again for all of your contributions to the Gswiki. Please let me know if you have any other questions. HOST-GSKEBECHET (talk) 09:02, 23 May 2024 (CDT)
