SPI

Hi, while I was digging Ambeinghari for finding any possible evidences connecting to Ilmulnafia's, I came across this SPI case of three years back. It is surprisingly closed without blocking, given that the evidences were strong and Hammersoft too was urging to block saying there was additional technical evidences too. But, even without any additional evidences, it was very conclusive with those variety of evidences provided. I suggest you should re-review that case, because it's a clear case of block evasion. Additionally, I found two more sock accounts and some off-wiki evidences too, which I shall email you. Continental Rift (talk) 08:49, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Best Georgians GPB ad December 2008.png

Thank you for uploading File:Best Georgians GPB ad December 2008.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. ViperSnake151  Talk  04:29, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing up this issue. I believe the image is appropriate for use in the article in which it appears. Pending a final determination on this point, I have reverted your removal of the image from the article on Freedom of religion in Georgia (country)—so that the image page will show the image is being used—and I have also modified the text of the article adjacent to the image so that it makes explicit reference to the image. I have also made a slight change to the non-free use rationale to indicate that the image is mentioned in the relevant article. Hopefully this will suffice to address concerns over the propriety of using this image. — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 05:32, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
I note that you removed my added text "As illustrated in the accompanying screen shot from the program". I added this in order to address your objection about "Specific image not discussed". If you are going to continue to raise this issue as a reason to delete the image, I would ask you either to reinstate my addition to the text or else propose a satisfactory alternate wording. — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 05:37, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
