Orphaned non-free image File:Petty Theft Logo 2014.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Petty Theft Logo 2014.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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:51, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, this image is being used in an article I am still working on. This image is linked to that article in my Sandbox and it is showing under File Usage. Apologies if this isn’t the correct approach.  Is it better I add the image as the final step before submitting? Ddab (talk) 20:36, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Petty Theft at Mystic Theatre March 29 2014.png
Thanks for uploading File:Petty Theft at Mystic Theatre March 29 2014.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. Stefan2 (talk) 19:18, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you Stefan2, this is for an article currently in development in my sandbox, I should have waited before adding an image until I complete the final article. I will look for a free image to replace with or request a license. Ddab (talk) 20:23, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Unsourced birth dates
Hi. I wanted to explain why I reverted a change you made to Steve Ferrone. In, you added a birth date, but you didn't cite a reliable source. Wikipedia has strict rules on content in biographies of living persons because this can impact real peoples' lives. Please be aware the many sites on the internet purport to give information about celebrities, but few of them of reliable. Sites like the IMDb use user-generated content, and they should not be cited in biographical articles. Similarly, celebrity gossip websites should not be used because most of them don't have a history of fact checking or publishing corrections. Fan sites and blogs are self-published and have no editorial control. We also can't use primary documents, such as government birth databases. This means that the number of available sources is quite slim, and we often have to either go without this information or wait until a source like Entertainment Weekly or the BBC publishes an interview that includes a birth date. If you're not sure whether a source is reliable, you can ask at Reliable sources/Noticeboard. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:45, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Monroe Grisman moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Monroe Grisman, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) In addition, there appears to be a WP:UPE or WP:COI conflict. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, and have addressed the UPE/COI issue, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. As per WP policy, please do not move into mainspace yourself.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:25, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello Onel5969, thanks for taking the time to review and provide feedback. Can you please give me some direction or a few examples on items that did not meet the criteria for reliable citations? I will find the additional sources to reference or just remove. I believed I had reliable citations that met the requirements, but always still learning. In addition, this is not a UPE/COI conflict but I understand that you cannot give me any details as that could inform others. I would like to submit this draft for review once I clean it up and it meets all general notability guidelines with the best chance of approval.  Thanks again.
