July 2014[edit]

Hello, I'm OlYeller21. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the page List of WTF with Marc Maron episodes, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. OlYeller21^Talktome 16:50, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

By that logic, shouldn't you have removed the remainder of the links and not just mine? Aball85

Wikipedia doesn't quite work that way. Just because you, me, or anyone else knows that something is wrong, doesn't mean we have to take the time to fix it. It also doesn't mean that because something is a way on one article or part of an article, that it justifies anything, anywhere else on Wikipedia. See WP:OTHERSTUFF if you want to read more about it but it's basically that way because there's so much that can be done.

Thanks for removing the rest of the links. 22:58, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks[edit]

Hey. I just wanted to say thank you for the work you've done here so far. It's really been helpful. WCS100 (talk) 15:55, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 11[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of WTF with Marc Maron episodes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chris Hayes. 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.

Replaceable fair use File:Portrait of Inventions.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Portrait of Inventions.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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 the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nick⁠—⁠^Contact/_Contribs 17:06, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the notification, I can see that this fails the proper criteria, the image reference has been removed from the page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inventions_(band)) and the image will be removed on 12/19/15 according to the automated message on the file's description. Aball85

Orphaned non-free image File:Portrait of Inventions.jpg[edit]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Portrait of Inventions.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) 18:55, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Salutations (Front Cover).jpg[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:Salutations (Front Cover).jpg. 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.

ATTENTION: This is an automated, bot-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:04, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Vol. 4: Slaves of Fear moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Vol. 4: Slaves of Fear, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Draft:Vol. 4: Slaves of Fear[edit]

Hi. Thanks for contributing this draft article. Non-free images are only permitted in live articles, not draft/sandbox space - see Wikipedia:Non-free_content#9, so I 'commented out' the cover art usage in the draft. I'm sorry if this seems inconvenient, but our rules on non-free content are clear and strongly enforced to protect the encyclopedia. If the image file is deleted as an orphan before your article becomes live then you may re-upload it or request undeletion if/when the article is moved to live article space. Thank you. -- Begoon 06:58, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Billy Wayne Davis[edit]

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 Billy Wayne Davis requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. 24.183.96.14 (talk) 10:33, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah that's fine, go ahead and remove it. Aball85 (talk) Aball85 (talk) 17:01, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
