Replaceable fair use File:FathiHassan.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:FathiHassan.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 or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) 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. Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:51, 1 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you for notification, ☼. The original description was sloppy. I've added a link to original license and it might appear that National Museum of African Art terms of use allow non-commercial use under fair use:

 [http://africa.si.edu/about/rights.html Image files from the National Museum of African Art (NMAfA) of the Smithsonian Institution (SI) are made available for noncommercial, personal or educational use only. The files may be downloaded for personal use only or for educational use within the meaning of the doctrine of "fair use"] 
 * From other hand, since the image is used in the infobox, which is a domain of non-readers, maybe it should be removed anyways. Stay well.  AgadaUrbanit (talk) 19:54, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid the "non-commercial" clause won't save this one. The licensing condition you describe only helps insofar as it ensures the image wouldn't fail WP:NFCC (commercial opportunities), but this image crucially fails another, WP:NFCC (replaceability), in which case all other considerations are moot. Fut.Perf. ☼ 19:59, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Since the artist is alive, I realize that commercially licensed photo is out of question and considered replaceable. So probably the image should be removed, to satisfy Wikipedia's project strict licensing requirements. I've dropped an email at info@fathihassan.com, contact email of the artist. Let's wait and see maybe a new free license photo will be released by the artist. If you dig other Hassan's properly licensed images, please let me know about it. Thank you, ☼, for investing your time into this. AgadaUrbanit (talk) 20:08, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

CTERA article
Hi AgadaUrbanit, you might want to move your comments below the "relisted" banner so that the admin that is gonna close is not going to miss it. Ciao! --DeVerm (talk) 02:24, 2 August 2011 (UTC).

Nationality
You appear to be making mass changes of nationality to British. You may or may not be aware, but it is conventional to reference scottish, welsh, english etc. in a lot of these cases both for sports and politicians. The general view is self-identification, but you should also remember that in Boxing for example at the common wealth games competitors are not British, but English, Scottish etc. In general its a mistake to make mass changes without first getting agreement. I have reverted to the long standing convention. This issue relates not just to boxers and actors (your changes) but politicians and many other articles. Accordingly you need to raise the issue at an appropriate forum if you want to peruse the matter -- Snowded TALK  08:23, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Peter Nagy (artist)


A tag has been placed on Peter Nagy (artist) 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 or group of people, but it does not 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. &mdash; Finemann (talk) 10:39, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I very much doubt that A7 applies. See these google book hits for example.  Sean.hoyland  - talk 11:04, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Repost of The suggested causes of the 2011 England riots
A tag has been placed on requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion process. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use deletion review instead of continuing to recreate the page. Thank you.

2011 England riots
Hello AgadaUrbanit. There has been a history of edit warring over the infobox location details in 2011 England riots. To try to stabilise this, and raise another closely related issue, I've started a discussion topic here: Talk:2011 England riots. I'd be grateful if you would come and comment. Thanks. Incidentally, the artwork on your pages is wonderful.  Rubywine. talk 01:40, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
