Orphaned non-free image File:E Lehman &a D Cormack of DMACK-DMACK Holdings Ltd.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:E Lehman &a D Cormack of DMACK-DMACK Holdings Ltd.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:25, 10 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Edward Lehman and Dick Cormack of DMACK and DMACK Holdings LTD.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Edward Lehman and Dick Cormack of DMACK and DMACK Holdings LTD.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Kkimbero and DMACK Wikipedia Article - Not Quite a Love Affair

I am an intelligent and experienced writer. I am familiar with a good many applications. Then I came across the challenge of writing and posting a Wikipedia article.

In my career I have had to take many crash course tutorials in order to quickly grasp the finer points of how to use an application so that I may integrate it into my knowledge immediately.

Help pages or tutorials on Wikipedia? They are absolutely ridiculous. Convoluted. Endless loops of links. I finally had to search for YouTube videos featuring people who could explain it to me in plain language with a plain demonstration.

I find that Wikipedia makes it nearly impossible to edit under the visual editor. So I had to take a crash course in coding. That was lovely fun. ... Right now I am experiencing the great joy I am finding every morning when I turned my computer on. Full of anticipation, I go to my talk page to see how many things have been deleted, flagged for immediate deletion, un-associated files for deletion, I am certain one day I will find my brain flagged for tentative deletion.

finally, after two weeks of frustrating and often disappointing work, I correctly finish my article... EXCEPT the very last footnote has something wrong with it that I cannot for the life of me figure out.

WHY? WHY?

My guess is because it's Wikipedia after all.
