List of Golden Plate awardees: References
At User talk:A930913/BracketBotArchives/ 4 you asked about the "needs additional citations" tag at the top of the List of Golden Plate awardees. I'd say that far too much of the content is still not supported by sources. Isn't there some sort of official list that has all the awardees? That would simplify the issue considerably.

 * RE:Broadway director Harold Prince receives the Golden Plate award from Nobel laureate Toni Morrison at the American Academy of Achievement’s 2007 International Achievement Summit in Washington, D.C. on Friday, June 22, 2007.jpg
 * Hello, can you please explain why the image was deleted. It was an image approved by and provided by the Academy of Achievement to show an example of the Golden Plate Award. What do I need to do if I want to upload this photo or another photo to show an example of the Golden Plate Award?
 * Hi there Desiderata45. In essence it was deleted as Stefan2 thought it failed to meet one of the non-free content criteria, no one objected to this, and after viewing the image I didn't see that he was clearly incorrect. The image shows one person being presented an award from another. The deletion rationale was that hosting the image did not significantly increase reader's understanding of the article's topic and that it's removal would not significantly impair that understanding. Images like this are unlikely to ever pass this criteria as, it is usually deemed, text alone can adequately describe one person receiving an award from another. It's also usual to regard that, as this award has been and will continue to be given, a free image could be created of this. I can't see a way around the non-free requirements for this image, Wikipedia is deliberately restrictive on hosting copyrighted images. To have an example image of this you really need a freely licensed one, either by attending and photographing, or (more achievable) finding an image by someone else and convincing them to release it under a free licence. - Peripitus (Talk) 06:09, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
 * In answer to your question. I can see that you've re-uploaded the image and marked it as public domain. I've tagged the image as needed permission from the copyright holder for this. On the image page are instructions about how to demonstrate the licence is correct. The copyrightholder (the Academy) needs to send an email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org confirming that they release this image under the stated licence. Please note that public domain means that others can take this image, modify it, use it where they wish and do largely as they please with the image. There are more restrictive free licences that prevent commercial use if needed. - Peripitus (Talk) 05:19, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Academy 1666.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Academy 1666.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
