September 2013
Hello, I'm A.amitkumar. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to Burke's, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.  A m i t  웃  19:31, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Redirects and speedy deletion
You seem to misunderstand the purpose of redirects. They don't need to be from "correct" names, but simply from names that a reader might look for. And if you nominate a page for speedy deletion you shouldn't blank it at the same time. That simply makes more work for, and annoys, people reviewing the deletion nomination.

Www.burkes-peerage.net
I have declined the speedy deletion of Www.burkes-peerage.net again. There are very specific criteria that can be used to speedy delete redirects. You have not specified any criteria that is listed at WP:CSD. You might have a valid argument for a WP:RFD nomination. GB fan 02:26, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Burke's Peerage Logo (September 2013).png)
Thanks for uploading File:Burke's Peerage Logo (September 2013).png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 22:51, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Mahfouz Marei Mubarak bin Mahfouz.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Mahfouz Marei Mubarak bin Mahfouz.jpg. 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. Stefan2 (talk) 15:05, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
