Licensing and vandalism
Please do not remove licensing from files and especially do not vandalise other images. Thanks,

A reminder of the above. Any image depicting Nintendo's intellectual property needs to be tagged with the fair use template, please do not change this. Heddy (talk) 23:59, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

My files and copyright
My files are in the public domain and can be used for any means without any permission whatsoever unless such permission is required in that country by law. InklingFixer (talk) 22:32, 2 August 2019 (UTC)


 * There is already a public domain template found at Template:PD. I added it to your images, and I'll be deleting Template:Publicdomain. Inkling luke.png Inkling talk.png 23:30, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

Luke, Please add Template:PD to File:Inkling.jpeg --InklingFixer (talk) 18:21, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Hey There! Admins changing licensing on my files😡😡😡😡😡 I am so mad!
I shouldn’t be blocked right now! Those are user files of mine in the public domain and an admin just changed licensing on them for literally no reason and blocked me! Those are my files and I can chose if they are copyrighted or not! Please unblock me now! --InklingFixer (talk) 04:02, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Someone edited my user page
Heddy somehow bypassed an automated filter and edited my user page! Unacceptable! InklingFixer (talk) 06:33, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * There is no filter for editing other user pages. People have agreed to only edit other user pages if it's necessary FunPL (talk) 12:47, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

If I try to edit someone else’s user page it will say ERROR: an automated filler is keeping you from editing this its editing someone else’s user page --InklingFixer (talk) 16:33, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Admin Request
I am a very consistent editor that is very good at spotting fatal errors in articles. InklingFixer (talk) 06:30, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Support
I have made many great edits in the past.

Oppose
I will fix more errors and add more content.


 * From what I understand, you've vandalized files on multiple instances and have a very, very loose grasp of copyright laws. Just because you uploaded the files, that doesn't mean they are in the public domain! If they are screenshots from a Nintendo video game, then they are treated by this wiki as fair use. ShinyCelesteela (talk) 11:00, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Same, screenshots from the game are considered copyrighted, even if you took them yourself! FunPL (talk) 12:49, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Not if I release them into the public domain! --InklingFixer (talk) 16:47, 5 August 2019 (UTC)


 * No, that's not how that works. If the file contains anything Nintendo related, for example, if it's a screenshot of something in the Splatoon franchise, that makes it copyrighted. Since Nintendo copyrighted its games, that automatically makes the file copyrighted. You can't just "release them into the public domain" like that. -- S u n d a e Squid S Weapon Main Octobrush.png Talk  00:54, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

How come my error messages are still in the public domain?--InklingFixer (talk) 16:50, 5 August 2019 (UTC)


 * ^^^ No offense, but I agree with ShinyCelesteela. The staff had warned you several times about your file vandalism and public domain templates, but you ignored them anyway (which is why you are blocked). Also, you are still a fairly new user on here. It isn't that easy to just become an admin the moment you join. And this is kind of off-topic but you got mad at Heddy for editing your user page, but that was because a file on that page was deleted since it was a duplicate of an already existing file. He's an admin. He can do that. -- S u n d a e Squid S Weapon Main Octobrush.png Talk  12:55, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Please unblock me now! I shouldn’t be blocked! Those are my images and I decided they are in the public domain and you can’t change that! So it’s the admins that are vandalizing! --InklingFixer (talk) 16:15, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Created user page

Basically blocked me for nothing.
You basically blocked me for uploading files into the public domain which is allowed.

Fatal anti-copyright error
Could not read above message carefully, this person does not like copyright. Person uploads all files into public domain. Now waiting for block expiration. --InklingFixer (talk) 17:01, 5 August 2019 (UTC)


 * That isn't how copyright works. Yes, you uploaded the images, but as pretty much everyone else has pointed out, they are images of Nintendo's intellectual property. If you don't like copyright, then that's fine, but merely disliking the law doesn't change it. If you upload a screenshot from the Splatoon video game, then it is fair-use. It doesn't matter who uploaded them. ShinyCelesteela (talk) 20:02, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

ShinyCelesteela you don’t know tha because your not an admin. --InklingFixer (talk) 05:22, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * You dont have to be an admin to know how basic copyright laws work. According to your logic, you're not an admin so you wouldn't know either. If you're just going to keep on arguing and ignoring all of our messages, then fine. You do you. -- S u n d a e Squid S Weapon Main Octobrush.png Talk  07:39, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I didn't want to get into this conversation when the answer has already been given by others several times, but here we are. Our file upload page explicitly states, and I quote, "Please provide licensing information for the upload from the dropdown menu. If it is a screenshot from, the correct choice is Fair Use." The Fair Use box, when selected, states "This file is copyrighted. It will be used in a way that qualifies as fair use under US copyright law."
 * This is how the law works around screenshots from an existing property, and neither you nor I can change this just because you want to. This is a non-topic by now and I believe it does not justify any further arguments. Thank you. GloverMist (talk) 08:48, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

How come I can release error messages into the public domain? --InklingFixer (talk) 20:15, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Because from what I understand, those error messages on your user page aren't screenshots from a copyrighted Nintendo game like your other files were. In fact, I don't even know where those error messages were taken from, so I honestly don't know if they're copyrighted or not. -- S u n d a e Squid S Weapon Main Octobrush.png Talk  01:00, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

The error messages are my own work so they are not copyrighted. When I am unblocked I’ll delete the Inklings section from my user page because I want all my files in the public domain. --InklingFixer (talk) 22:33, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Please stop forgeting
Please stop forgetting to put ~ everytime you respond to something, it helps everyone. FunPL (talk) 16:36, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

At least my error messages were able to defend themselves
Good job error messages for staying in the public domain. --InklingFixer (talk) 18:18, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
