Disambiguation link notification for April 5
Hi. When you recently edited Andrea Amati, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Charles IX (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Replaceable fair use File:Canadian_AVGP_Grizzly_destroyed_by_an_RPG_in_Darfur.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Canadian_AVGP_Grizzly_destroyed_by_an_RPG_in_Darfur.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 20:34, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Attribution

 * Thanks. Any time you want to use text from that website, I would recommend that you verify authorship by placing this permanent link maybe on the talk page: http://www.webcitation.org/query?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcomplexoperations.org%2Fhyknoco%2Findex.php%3Ftitle%3DUser%3AGeo_Swan%26diff%3D26516%26oldid%3D24899&date=2012-04-29. A few years back, we had an editor who contributed to a side wiki who was blocked on that side wiki for some political uproar there. They deleted his userpage, and we could no longer prove he was the same guy. This should help avoid any of that. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:05, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. Geo Swan (talk) 15:23, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Nomination of Osama bin Laden bodyguard for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Osama bin Laden bodyguard is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Osama bin Laden bodyguard until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. MSJapan (talk) 16:52, 30 April 2012 (UTC)


 * In answer to your previous question, I don't alert users who create articles and haven't edited them in over two years, because 99 times out of 100, they're not even active anymore. Furthermore, while it's not prohibited, it's pretty poor form to deprod an article you started and haven't worked on in just over two years. MSJapan (talk) 16:55, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
