Thanks
I had just started reviewing new articles for AFC and had two I thought were OK shot down fairly quickly which surprised me. Gratified that other people felt the Matt Sweeny article was also a speedy keep. Thanks for speaking up. Jessamyn (talk) 03:08, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

A barnstar and thank you
Recently, there was a rather nasty and aggressive dispute regarding the contents of this text and its revelation that Seraphim Rose was a gay man prior to his conversion. Your creation of an article will enable readers to improve their awareness of this matter without wrong-headed criticism or non-encyclopedic lionization. Thank you for your regular contributions to this project! ~ Pbritti (talk) 01:31, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:The News Media and the Law magazine Winter 2002 cover.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:The News Media and the Law magazine Winter 2002 cover.jpeg. 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, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:35, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
