Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "The silent hippo". The reason given for The silent hippo's block is: "Abusing multiple accounts: TreadingWater".
It's likely a school. The SMD clan is an improper role account and inappropriate use of user space and should be remain blocked (but on a cursory examination, I don't see it as abusive sockpuppetry). Having interacted with him in the past, I also don't think Ezekiel would commit vandalism such as that done by silent hippo. Perhaps we should reconsider this block with a strong cautioning to use Wikipedia appropriately. –xeno (talk)17:35, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Ezekiel, I've unblocked based upon the above. The SMD role account will remain blocked; please do not use Wikipedia as a networking site for your clan, and ensure your activities on Wikipedia are focused on improving the encyclopedia. I agree with Tiptoety's assessment of your userpage: I would urge you not to release your date of birth and location here (or elsewhere on the internet for that matter). I will email you a copy of your userpage, please recreate it without such details. –xeno (talk)17:40, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
OK, I've deleted all the stuff for the clan. I noticed you put your high school, location, and date of birth back on your userpage, I would still urge against this... –xeno (talk)20:10, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
A portal peer review has been opened for The Beatles portal in order to get it to featured portal status. It will gain the distinction of being the first portal dedicated to an individual musician/band to reach featured status.
0 new articles have been listed in the Project Log since 1 October. The project log seems to have been neglected recently, and we request that project members help us to bring it up-to-date.
History of The Beatles has been recreated following the advice given in a peer review of The Beatles. We request your assistance in summarising the History section of The Beatles so they are not just carbon copies of each other.

Er, if I was you I would definatly not watch Zeitgeist (I actually didn't put a link so you would not find out what it was) you wouldn't like it. Neither do I really, but I proved most of it wrong; then forgot my argument. The spelling is also a bit off --The Ninjalemming20:10, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
WP:IUP/FUS is a good place to start. Fair-use images are essentially images that are copyrighted (in this case, by Nintendo and Camelot). Fair-use policy on Wikipedia is extremely stringent, meaning that we can only use copyrighted material that must be used.
WP:ICT/FU has a list of copyright tags that could be used to describe its licensing, while the "Fair Use Rationale" is completely explained here: WP:NFC.
However, even if all ends are met, most of the images you uploaded probably won't work. A group image of all will suffice, because it will lower the amount of fair-use content used. Issac's is an exception, because of all the characters, his has been rendered 3-D by a Nintendo game (something which could be mentioned due to its notability and uniqueness). A fair-use image may only be uploaded if it meets notability requirements, which must be established in the image caption as well as the article.
I'm not sure if that helped much, and I'm pretty sure that WP:NFC will explain it more clearly. But mostly, the image-policy used on Wikipedia is learnt through experience. (I've had more than my fair share of images deleted before because I did not know the policy before) --haha169 (talk) 18:06, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
That's a good start! Make sure the images aren't too clustered, or positioned in a way that makes the article look ugly. Remember that the text is still the most important thing! --haha169 (talk) 01:50, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
