Replaceable fair use File:DJ White Shadow Bud Light.png
Thanks for uploading File:DJ White Shadow Bud Light.png. 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. Eeekster (talk) 23:57, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:DJ White Shadow Bud Light.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:DJ White Shadow Bud Light.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 19:36, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

File source problem with File:DJ White Shadow Bud Light.png
Thank you for uploading File:DJ White Shadow Bud Light.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 19:38, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Moving articles from your sandbox
I recommend moving articles you've written from your sandbox into actual articles by copying and pasting their contents rather than by using Special:MovePage. The beginning of the history of your article Alessia Cara shows why: it pollutes the edit history with confusing edits. Another reason is that the new pages feed shows all of the articles you create this way as having been created when you created your sandbox (17 April 2015), due to MediaWiki considering them the same article. The rule against moving pages by copying and pasting is to preserve credit for the people who wrote the article; when you're the only writer, your copy-and-paste edit gives you full credit. – Ian01 (talk) 00:51, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
 * That makes sense. Thanks for the information and I will do so in the future. --BadHawaiiPad (talk) 00:14, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
