Talk:Billy Lane

message: Now that Billy is out of prison I have made a few updates to the page that have all been deleted, and I don't understand why. First, Billy recently held a celebrity vintage motorcycle race at Daytona Bike Week, so I'd included that, along with 3 different sources, including American Iron Magazine (http://www.aimag.com/brittney-olsen-wins-first-ever-sons-of-speed-boardtrack-race/). Second, I'd added a photo I took myself in 2006; it was deleted before I could even finish saving the caption (I got a save conflict). Third, I'd argue that Billy is better known for his TV appearances than his accident, so I'd added a reference to Discovery in the first sentence. Why are these changes being deleted almost as soon as I can save them, citing no evidence, when I'm citing multiple sources? [[User:Krystynlo |-- Kristen]
:You copied the photo from instagram. You copy-pasted text from Cyril Huze. Your edits from 2009 and 2007 were also copy-pastes from websites with copyright notices. It's easy to  check where you are copying from. Everyone can see it was published by someone else on a date before you copied it here. If you keep violating others copyright, I expect an administrator will block you from editing. Don't copy. Write original text. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 07:02, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

It might be a good idea to wait a little bit to give it time to pan out... Ben 21:15, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Mike Odom doesn't seem to cite his sources too well... Thanks for pointing out the bad link. I'll move it to source-needed. But I don't think that substituting with Mike Odom's blog pages is the way to go... -- Ben 01:33, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:Choppersinc.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
