Orphaned non-free media (Image:Fox Logo New.jpg)
[edit] Thanks for uploading Image:Fox Logo New.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. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:15, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
AfD nomination of Fox Learning Systems
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
An article that you have been involved in editing, Fox Learning Systems, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fox Learning Systems. Thank you. -- SiobhanHansa 20:23, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Zdubya36
- I saw your comment at the deletion discussion [1]. It wasn't clear to me (and so I suspect for other editors) where the comments you are referring to are. Can you provide a link - a URL will do? For a quick primer to deletion discussions see Wikipedia:Deletion_policy#Deletion_discussion. While I nominated the article and we likely have different opinions on what should happen to it I will do my best to help you participate in the discussion. If you'd be more comfortable with another editor assisting, type {{Helpme}} (with the curly brackets) on this page with your question next to it and another experienced editor will be along shortly to try to help. -- SiobhanHansa 22:38, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
Rite Aid addition
[edit]When you have claimed to be an employee of the company on your user page [2] later protestations that you aren't [3] are unconvincing. Please read the conflict of interest guidelines and policy on promotion. In any case, given how poorly known Fox Learning systems is independent, third party sourcing that indicates the significance of the partnership is still needed (and would be good for the GNC piece too - feel free to request appropriate sourcing for that piece if you believe it is inappropriate in the article) Thanks. -- SiobhanHansa 20:38, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
AfD comment
[edit]Hi again Zdubya36. I saw your comments at the AfD ([4]). I appreciate the feedback and wondered if you could perhaps provide a little more. I had felt a little pushed to nominating the article for deletion (AfD) because the other attempts I made to get notability addressed in the article did not seem (to me) to be taken particularly seriously. Is there something I could have done differently to get you to start thinking in terms of better sourcing and verification of notability without resorting to the AfD? (I do a lot of followup on articles edited by people close to the subject - so anything I can learn about communicating better would be appreciated). -- SiobhanHansa 00:52, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback. I added a notability tag [5] to the top of the article which pointed to the guidelines on notability and which you then deleted [6]. After that I posted to the article talk page about notability again and when that went unanswered despite edits to the article itself I nominated the article for deletion. Perhaps I should have posted directly to your talk page as well? Restored the notability tag with a summary stating it wasn't satisfied? something else?
- Also it sounds like the initial message I left here[7] wasn't really much help (it contains/links to advice on editing and how to use talk pages etc.). Would something more succinct be better or something that contained more of the essential content and relied less on linking to the actual guidelines and tutorials? Or is that whole introduction thing just too much at once for a new user? Thanks again for your feedback. Knowing how messages are actually heard (or not!) really helps. -- SiobhanHansa 21:29, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Problems with upload of Image:Debra_03.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Debra_03.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.
To add this information, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Orphaned non-free image (File:Logo low horizontal smaller.jpg)
[edit]You've uploaded File:Logo low horizontal smaller.jpg, and indicated that it's used under Wikipedia's rules for non-free images. However, it's not presently used in any articles. Wikipedia policy requires that non-free images be either used or deleted, so if this image isn't used in an article in the next week, it will be deleted.
This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 22:08, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of File:Logo low horizontal smaller.jpg
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on File:Logo low horizontal smaller.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 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 that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:File:Logo low horizontal smaller.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Replaceable fair use Image:Debra 03.jpg
[edit]![Replaceable fair use](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/32px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Debra 03.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 72.88.104.182 (talk) 02:17, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
