September 2015

Hello, I'm Qed237. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Rostov-on-Don Stadium, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:47, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for December 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2016 Russian Figure Skating Championships, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sergei Voronov. 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.

Non-free image use

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload new images. However, it appears that one or more of the images you have recently uploaded or added to a page, specifically Kosovo national football team, may fail our non-free image policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted image of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free image criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:19, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rhk. Please do not add any more logos to national football team articles without first checking the copyright licensing of the logo. If the file is a freely licensed or public domain image, then you can pretty much add the file to any article as long its complies with Wikipedia's image use policy. If, however, the file is licensed as non-free content, then you need to be particularly careful and make such the use complies with Wikipedia's non-free content use policy as well. Non-free use is not automatic and each use must satisfy all ten non-free content criteria. Just because you notice a similar file being used in a similar article does not automatically justify non-free use in all such cases as explained in WP:OTHERIMAGE. Many of the file's you've added (more accurately re-aded) were previously removed for non-free content use policy reasons. Some of these files were even discussed at WP:FFD and WP:NFCR and removed as a result. All of the files you have added lacked the separate specific non-free use rationale required by WP:NFCC#10c for each use as well.

So, when come across one of these articles which does not have a logo displayed in its infobox I suggest that you do the following before adding any logo to the infobox: (1) check the file's page to verify its copyright status; (2) if licensed as non-free content, check the article's edit history to see whether a file was previously removed for non-free content use reasons; (3) if licensed as non-free content, check the file's page or it's talk page for any notifications such as Template:Non-free reviewed or Template:oldffdfull to see if the file's non-free use has been previously discussed. For case (2), you will need to address the reason the file was previously removed. If you're not sure what that exactly is, ask the editor who removed the file, or ask for help at WP:MCQ or WT:NFCC. For case (3), you will need to discuss things with the editor (usually and adminsitrator) who closed the discussion as explained in WP:CLOSECHALLENGE. If you come across a non-free file in which neither (2) nor (3) apply, then it is your responsibility to add the non-free use rationale required for NFCC#10c as explained in WP:NFCCE. Failure to do so is just going to eventually lead the file to being removed or tagged as having non-free content use policy issues. The rationale you add should clearly show how the particular use meets all ten non-free content criteria. If you're not sure how to add such a rationale, you can ask for help at WP:MCQ or WT:NFCC.

Image use on Wikipedia can be tricky in general, but non-free content use is even trickier. It's OK to make mistakes, and many editors do. If, however, you continue to repeat the same mistakes even after being advised about them, then it will be seen as disruptive and a copyright violation and an adminstrator will be asked to get involved. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:00, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
