Welcome to the talk page of J Bar.

Hi Jim - thanks again for all the photos. I have a suggestion that you might like to take up. With the large amount of photos you are uploading, you might at this stage want to sign up to Wikimedia Commons and upload your photos there. This enables your photos to be used in any Wikimedia project and not just Wikipedia - so people from other language projects, Wikitravel, etc. can all use the photos. You need to go here and sign up (as "J Bar") and then you click on "Upload file" on the left and upload your files as per normal. You can use categories like [[Category:Sydney]] for Sydney-related photos and [[Category:Train stations in Sydney]] for railway station pics. This will save those users who want to use them on other projects a lot of time having to download your photos and then reupload them in other projects. I have done all your photos on railway stations up until today, so you won't need to put them up. (JROBBO 06:23, 5 September 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Hi J Bar, I hope the semi-retirement is more semi than it is retirement. I appreciate the huge collection of photos you've contributed! I've just started a new list: w:List of Anglican churches in the Diocese of Sydney. I thought you might be interested because it shows which ones we are missing photos for. Also are you interested in coming to this tomorrow night: w:Wikipedia:Meetup/Sydney‎? I'm keen to meet you if you are. --99of9 (talk) 00:47, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, this is just to let you know that I have granted you the "autopatrolled" permission. This won't affect your editing, it just automatically marks any page you create as patrolled, benefiting new page patrollers. Please remember:

• This permission does not give you any special status or authority
• Submission of inappropriate material may lead to its removal
• You may wish to display the ((Autopatrolled)) top icon and/or the ((User wikipedia/autopatrolled)) userbox on your user page
• If, for any reason, you decide you do not want the permission, let me know and I can remove it

If you have any questions about the permission, don't hesitate to ask. Otherwise, happy editing! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 04:59, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding the first edition cover.[[1]] MartinSFSA (talk) 04:56, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

An article you recently created, Colin from Accounts, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

The article WAG Nation has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Zero sourcing found

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated)) notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated)) will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:05, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not delete the article. There was one link that is now broken because the page has been deleted. The rest of the references are still valid. J Bar (talk) 04:57, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Dege31 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

NFILM

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Colin from Accounts and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not make any further changes to your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your edit to Barrumbi Kids has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. I have also removed and rewritten the copy-pasted text in Barons (TV series). I hope that you have not been copy-pasting text from sources as a regular practice, but if you have, I strongly suggest you go back and fix your previous edits as soon as possible. Indignant Flamingo (talk) 00:13, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, J Bar. This message is being sent to inform you that a request for a contributor copyright investigation has been filed at Contributor copyright investigations concerning your contributions to Wikipedia in relation to Wikipedia's copyrights policy. The listing can be found here. Thank you. Indignant Flamingo (talk) 00:37, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without evidence of permission. Please take this opportunity to ensure that you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~)).  MER-C 19:16, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I understand the reason for being blocked. I have used information that is used in a press release which then appears in multiple articles on the subject. I have then used those articles as sources which makes it look like I have copied the articles. Apologies for that. I will ensure that this does not happen again in future by keeping the information generic or completely rewriting any information obtained in a press releases. J Bar (talk) 18:11, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Press releases should generally not be used as a source on Wikipedia, as Wikipedia primarily summarizes what independent reliable sources say. As copyright violations potentially put Wikipedia in legal jeopardy, we must be convinced that you understand the issues here. Please explain in your own words what copyright is, what Wikipedia's license is, and when and how copyrighted content may be used on Wikipedia. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 19:24, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the ((unblock)) template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I understand that copyright is a legal right which protects original work from being copied. I understand that Wikipedia's licence protects all creators' work. I understand that any content added should be from a neutral point of view with references and not using original information. I understand that copyrighted content can only be used on wikipedia if the owner has granted permission to use it.
