Orphaned fair use image (Image:Treasure Island loading.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Treasure Island loading.png. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Fritz S. (Talk) 20:06, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Regarding edits to Puppy (disambiguation)

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Leevclarke! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule \burbandictionary\.com\/, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links policy for more information. If the link was to an image, please read Wikipedia's image tutorial on how to use a more appropriate method to insert the image into an article. If your link was intended to promote a site you own, are affiliated with, or will make money from inclusion in Wikipedia, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 00:24, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Kwiksave

Thanks for fixing the first date on the Kwiksave article. But you didn't need to do all of the other dates (eg change 7 July to July 7) those dates were in brackets and will auto format to the user's own choice. If you click my preferences at the very top of the screen and then click the Date & Time tab you can set the format that you want dates to appear in. As long as the dates are in brackets eg [[27 July]] [[2007]] or [[July 27]] [[2007]] then they will both appear how you set them to appear in my preferences. (27 July 2007 or July 27 2007). WP:DATE has the full info on date formats. If you need any help just drop me a message on my talk page. - X201 14:48, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback - I do like all dates to be properly formatted to display according to preferences (as per Wikipedia policy). My motivation for changing the others (e.g. "7 July" to "July 7") is actually because "7 July" redirects to the correct article title, which is "July 7". It is my understanding that internal links should point directly to the correct article wherever possible (even if it means making it a piped link), rather than to a redirect page.

However, I have just had a non-exhaustive look through Wikipedia's policies and guidelines and could not find this written explicitly (it is not mentioned on the policy on formatting dates containing a month and a day), so I could be wrong. ;-)

Many thanks again. :-) Leevclarke 15:17, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Sign your posts

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 18:11, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

RE: Conversion of canal water into drinking water

Thanks for your message - had completely forgotten about the user page. I agree about the article, but looking at it was bugging me a bit! Thanks again, Kateshortforbob 15:15, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion tagging

Thanks for tagging the article PDSA (disambiguation) for deletion. However, it does not meet any of the criteria for speedy deletion. I changed it to a proposed deletion, which is the best process for non-controversial deletions that do not meet the speedy deletion criteria. Cheers! --Ginkgo100^talk 22:00, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks.  :-) I wasn't sure of the best approach, but as the page is no longer relevant I thought maybe that might make it a candidate. I could not find a policy specifically on getting obsolete disambiguation pages removed.

Thanks again. :-) Leevclarke 22:07, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Minnie riperton perfect angel.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Minnie riperton perfect angel.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Treasure Island playing.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Treasure Island playing.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 02:24, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with File:Technohead Headsex cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Technohead Headsex cover.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by STBotI. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 22:02, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I have only just read your message of 19 March 2009 about getting a higher-res picture. I tried re-uploading a high-res version twice but, both times, it was mysteriously fuzzier than the original low-res version. I am a technical moron, so have no idea why and have reverted to the original. Sorry. All advice gratefully received. Thejohnfleming (talk) 15:27, 8 April 2009 (UTC)thejohnfleming

Fair use rationale for File:Context_menu_windows.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Context_menu_windows.png. 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 Wikipedia articles 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

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 ensure 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?

Fair use rationale for File:Grange hill VG advert.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Grange hill VG advert.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Disambiguation link notification for December 10

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Hart (surname), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bruce Hart (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:06, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Navisite

Hello, Leevclarke,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username DarkGlow and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged Navisite for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. You may find our guide for writing quality articles to be extremely informative.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|DarkGlow}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Speedy deletion nomination of Navisite

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Navisite requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/meet-the-new-navisite-a-modern-managed-cloud-service-provider-accelerating-it-transformation-for-thousands-of-global-brands-301015374.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 deleted 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.
