Speedy deletion nomination of File:We Day Vancouver Mainstage.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:We Day Vancouver Mainstage.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. , and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:
 * state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
 * add the relevant copyright tag.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  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 the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ww2censor (talk) 05:54, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Usr4yw9X.png


The file File:Usr4yw9X.png has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Unused logo, spam image uploaded by WP:UPE account."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Could you explain why, if you're not connected to the charity at all, almost every edit you've made is about that charity? If you are unblocked, what will you edit instead? only (talk) 23:52, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Certainly, only. Regarding the first question, most of my edits were made to those pages because it was one area I thought I could contribute to without needing deep domain expertise (I was in high school at the time of my first edits in 2006). At that time, I noticed that the charity's pages were written as if copied and pasted directly from their websites, so it was low hanging fruit to source claims and remove advertising-like language (you'll see most of my edits are of this nature). Every few years I tried to improve the page with third party sourcing, removing non-verified claims, and improving the format and organization of its pages, but it's beyond my knowledge and interest at this stage. Regarding the second question, I am planning to edit entries related to my field of study, biochemistry. I've been bookmarking a list of entries for various molecules and processes that could be brought into better compliance with the Wikipedia MoS and are not up to date with respect to more recent published journal articles. Thanks for your consideration. Alexiusca (talk) 15:20, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
