Replaceable fair use File:Jonathan Wax aka Space Facts Wax at the NASA Rocket Launch.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Jonathan Wax aka Space Facts Wax at the NASA Rocket Launch.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:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) 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. Whpq (talk) 12:56, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Non-free content needs to adhere to the non-free content guidelines. They must meet all of the non-free content criteria. In the particular case of living people, they are almost always deemed to be replaceable (See WP:NFCC). In fact the non-free content guidelines specifically states "Non-free content should not be used when a freely licensed file that serves the same purpose can reasonably be expected to be uploaded, as is the case for almost all portraits of living people." -- Whpq (talk) 13:57, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Hello, AfPEN. By saying that you used a shared computer, this indicates that you can not be held responsible for the editing of this account. Each account on Wikipedia needs to be the unique account of an individual, not a group of individuals. There are no corporate or group accounts. If you ever have your own computer, you might try another unblock request. The contributions on this page that are not yours are messages from other editors. That is the purpose of an editor talk page, to communicate with each other. Liz Read! Talk! 03:23, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

What is your connection to Rod Demery? You also state on your userpage "the article so introduced by this account will be objective to the letter, regardless of the motivation for creating said article". What is your motivation? 331dot (talk) 09:09, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

Hey 331dot (talk) there is no relationship between me and Rod Demery. He is just a subject I believe should be included in every encyclopedia there is. He's had a tremendous career and people of his ilk can and should serve as motivation to the rest of us. As for my motivation, I believe we could all do with more information on more subjects. My motivation also varies: I am genuinely impressed with Rod Demery's achievements and thought they deserved a presence on Wikipedia. There are other topics and subject I've considered introducing, such as adorable kid actors, but I figured those had little chance of getting approved. So yes, my motivation is not always objective, but I also believe that is the reason every new entry is reviewed to weed out weaker topics and bulk up those which merit a presence on Wikipedia.

This user has engaged in sock puppetry with User:RayanWarfare. 331dot (talk) 11:15, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
 * RayanWarfare is . The Mubster socks and AfPEN are in different countries. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 18:48, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

This addresses NinjaRobotPirate (talk) and the assertion of sock puppetry; - First, I had no idea what it is, so I hade to read about the concept. - From what I gather, sock puppetry involves running two or more accounts; or colluding to similar effects contrary to Wikipedia goals. - To the best of my knowledge, I have not engaged in any form of Sock puppetry as identified, including Sock puppetry takes various forms: Logging out to make problematic edits as an IP address Creating new accounts to avoid detection Using another person's account (piggybacking) Reviving old unused accounts (sometimes referred to as sleepers) and presenting them as different users Persuading friends or colleagues to create accounts for the purpose of supporting one side of a dispute (usually called meatpuppetry)

For this reason, I do not understand how I was involved in Sock Puppetry with User:RayanWarfare as has been claimed. Honestly I'd like to be told how, if you don't mind.

Either way, I'll await the outcome of this appeal.
 * As NJP states above, RayanWarfare is a different user. 331dot (talk) 13:24, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
