Orphaned non-free image File:The Coffee Club logo.png
 Thanks for uploading File:The Coffee Club logo.png. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

PLEASE NOTE:


 * I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions. If you have a question, place a template, along with your question, beneath this message.
 * I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
 * If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
 * To opt out of these bot messages, add  to your talk page.
 * If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 20:31, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

How do I prevent deletion of an orphaned uploaded image?
Hi there, experienced Wikipedians. I've just finished writing my first article from scratch (having edited others previously) and, although I'm not completely satisified with the material or some of the references, have submitted it for review. To support the article, I uploaded an image on 25 Sep 2011 for display in the Company Infobox. However, because the article was being completed in a somewhat haphazard fashion, the system has removed the image as an orphan and will delete it on 16 Oct 2011 (see DASHbot talk previous to this post). Now, I'm happy to reload it if necessary, but would rather not have to go through the justification process again. If anyone knows how to prevent the file from being deleted, I'd appreciate your advice or assistance!

 * (Presumably re. Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Coffee Club, File:The Coffee Club logo.png)
 * Unfortunately, non-free images can only be used on live articles (in accord with NFCC), and "Articles for creation" has a considerable backlog (CAT:AFC) - so, the article might not be accepted before the image is deleted. However, it's really no problem - if/when the article is live, an admin could simply undelete the image.
 * Thus you would not have to write a new justification, as the file page would be restored with all content.
 * So please don't worry if it is deleted; if it is, just wait until there is a live article, then use an (here) to ask for it to be restored. I hope that's acceptable?  Chzz  ►  16:18, 16 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I reviewed your article and accepted it after trimming it down from the whole advertising(based on primary and secondary sources) and non-encyclopedic parts. The section "Responsible Business Practices" could also be removed, but I think it is ok for this moment. Regards, mabdul 16:27, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you Chzz and mabdul, I appreciate your advice and assistance with this. Barny 00:45, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation
 The Coffee Club, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created. Thank you for helping Wikipedia! mabdul 16:25, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on the article's talk page. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see what needs to be done to bring it to the next level.
 * Please continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request.
 * If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider


 * That's great, mabdul, thank you very much for your help! Barny 00:47, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Restoration of deleted image
adminhelp Hi there, Wiki Administrators. An article I very recently submitted, which was reviewed and accepted last night, is now missing an important piece: the image file "The Coffee Club logo.png" has been deleted as it was marked as an orphaned non-free image. If you could please restore the image for me I'd greatly appreciate it, as it visually links the article text to the company's brand. Thank you.

 * Yes check.svg Y Done I bumped up the image size a bit. It looked a but out of wack with the default infobox size. Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:53, 17 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Fuhghettaboutit, you are a legend! --Barny 03:01, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:GeeBarny/Gossling


A tag has been placed on User:GeeBarny/Gossling, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. (See section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

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 "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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Problem with your custom signature
You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.


 * Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Remove anything in the text box.  (It might already be empty.)
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
 * Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Signatures. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. 19:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Jessica Tuck edit
I have reverted your addition of a date of birth to Jessica Tuck. In addition to Wikipedia's basic principle of citing sources (Citing sources), a special need for citations applies with regard to elements of a biography of a living person (WP:BLPPRIVACY). Feel free to add a date of birth when it is accompanied by a citation to a reliable, published source. Eddie Blick (talk) 23:51, 17 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Ah, that makes sense, thanks for the advice. Barny (talk) 02:27, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
