Orphaned non-free image File:Flag of the Commonwealth of Nations.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Flag of the Commonwealth of Nations.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Flag of the Commonwealth of Nations.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Flag of the Commonwealth of Nations.jpg.

Would like very much to know what you meant by: "Thanks for your death, Gilman." Nghtownclerk (talk) 20:37, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

That was just typing the wrong words. I meant to say "In pace recquisate" CourtlyHades296 (talk) 20:44, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

I am glad to hear that. Nghtownclerk (talk) 16:45, 22 December 2016 (UTC)nghtownclerkNghtownclerk (talk) 16:45, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 23
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of IMAX venues, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tarentum ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/List_of_IMAX_venues check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/List_of_IMAX_venues?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

In this you changed the license from Non-free to no notice, It would be much appreciated if you could  explain why you did this, as it wasn't clear to me, given that 1977 is relatively recent, and I would have reasonably understood that Atari would be fairly timely in ensuring they met copyright formalities. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 10:44, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Actually, the Copyright Act of 1976 didn't take effect till 1978, and the game was released in 1977 without a copyright notice. CourtlyHades296 (talk) 15:06, 3 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Okay.. Do you have more evidence that there was never a notice? (Like boxart, or a title screen)? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 15:58, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

The game itself just starts up without a title screen or copyright notice. CourtlyHades296 (talk) 16:31, 3 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Do you have a capture of the startup sequence/title screen ( which would be useful for other reasons)? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 18:39, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, List of cultural references to the September 11 attacks, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''Please review WP:IPCV as well. The only exception might be if the work itself had a bluelink.''

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Symphony No. 9 (Beethoven), it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 01:41, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello! I'm Belbury. Your recent edit(s) to the page List of lost films appear to have added incorrect information, so they have been reverted for now. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. A studio removing a recent film from a shared server doesn't seem to meet the definition of a lost film. Belbury (talk) 18:46, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
