A cup of tea for you!

thanks for the positive feedback on my edit! if you could, tell me what I may need to change to improve the article so It can be created as a page? Abbycarroll (talk) 19:41, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Abbycarroll: You'll have to link the article; I just did 75 edits to multiple articles/talk pages. -- I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 19:47, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Abbycarroll, social media sites like pinterest and instagram aren't considered reliable sources. You should probably replace those sources. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 19:54, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Emily ;-) thanks for "Welcoming". Can you help and transfer the photo from → https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%AE%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AF_%D8%A8%D9%86_%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%B7%D8%A7%D9%86_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D8%A7%D8%B3%D9%85%D9%8A → to the enWP?--87.170.204.144 (talk) 19:52, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Any reason why you can't upload it from the Wikimedia Commons yourself? I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 19:56, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Look: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Khalid_bin_Sultan_Al_Qasimi_%28fashion_designer%29&type=revision&diff=904820987&oldid=904818150 - only red letters 'appear' :-( --87.170.204.144 (talk) 20:02, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's happening with me, as well. Hopefully, the {{help me}} will attract someone who knows about images. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 20:07, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Did you post somewhere a help request? --87.170.204.144 (talk) 20:15, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I posted a help request template above. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 20:16, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, than let's hope for help ;-) the foto-link is: https://ar.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D9%85%D9%84%D9%81:Khalid-bin-Sultan-Al-Qasimi.jpg&filetimestamp=20190702223056& Thanks, Emily! --87.170.204.144 (talk) 20:24, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, this is a fair use image. Wikimedia Commons doesn't accept such files (see commons:COM:Fair use), ~~and the English Wikipedia doesn't allow their use for biographies.~~ See below ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:26, 4 July 2019 (UTC) strikethrough per Huon's correction ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:40, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) The image is hosted on the Arabic Wikipedia, but not on the Wikimedia Commons. According to the Arabic text it's not freely licensed; they claim fair use because the subject is dead and no freely licensed image of him is known. Thus it cannot be uploaded to the Commons which takes only freely licensed images. It will need to be uploaded to the English Wikipedia with an appropriate fair use rationale. (In response to ToBeFree: Yes, we do accept fair use for biographies of dead people, but not for living people where a free equivalent could conceivably be produced.) Huon (talk) 20:30, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I didn't take the dead/living distinction into account and have corrected this above. Thanks. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:40, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusion: Someone needs to uploaded the foto to the English Wikipedia with an appropriate fair use rationale, right? {{help me}} --93.211.217.251 (talk) 21:39, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Huon and ToBeFree: I think that was directed at you. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 21:42, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the ping

This appears to be correct. I have added a request at Wikipedia:Files_for_upload#Continuum_Commerce_Solutions_logo.png; future similar requests can be made at Wikipedia:Files_for_upload/Wizard. "The image is non-free and I'm not autoconfirmed", "The image I want uploaded doesn't exist on Wikipedia", "The image is suitable for Wikipedia for another reason".

Now you'll only need to until someone has answered the request. I assume that they will also include the image in the article on your behalf, because actual usage in an article is required to keep the image on the English Wikipedia. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:57, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A message from LeeStott

Hi I just wanted to apologies if you saw my edits to the Azure Dev tool pages as disruptive. I just wanted to clarify the details as they were wrong I hope my latest edit reflect the accuracy required of wikipedia as reference source and encyclopedia. I have validated all the statements and changes and added appropriate references to support the changes. I have also ensured that the changes do not reflect soapboxing etc.

LeeStott (talk) 18:59, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

LeeStott, it's fine. Editing Wikipedia can be somewhat of a learning curve for some folks. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 19:01, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

USD (United School District)

I noticed your edit note on Oskaloosa, Kansas about use of {{not a typo|USD 341}}, but you should be aware there are hundreds or thousands of uses of USD in Kansas community and school articles. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 04:30, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sbmeirow, right, it might take a while to put {{not a typo}} on all of them, but at least now you know about it. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 00:51, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Stub tags

When removing stub tags, don't forget to update the article's rating on the talk page as well, per WP:DESTUB. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 10:53, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Finnusertop, I'm sure I'll find a way to keep track of the stub templates I remove via AWB. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 13:22, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A message from MaggieTait

Hi there, brand new user to wiki here. I was hoping to add a link to Chief Censor David Shanks' LinkedIn page but I guess that's inappropriate? I started trying to create a page for him on wiki but found it quite hard... MaggieTait (talk) 21:27, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MaggieTait, typically external links aren't put in the article body, but in a separate "external links" section. Also, links to linkedin profiles tend to be reserved for people who have their own articles. Good luck in trying to learn everything. It can be difficult. I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 21:38, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A kitten for you!

Thanks for the thanks!
