Dahabshiil: Barclays court case
Hi Geo Swan, I've left a proposed paragraph on the Dahabshiil talk page regarding the recent court hearing concerning Barclays's decision to close Dahabshiil's account, and the injunction that was granted to allow an extension of the existing arrangement between the two companies until the conclusion of a full court case next year. As that post and my user page make clear, I work for Bell Pottinger and Dahabshiil is my client. I will post on COIN. Many thanks. Vivj2012 (talk) 10:25, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 15
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Raymond Evans (USCG), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Britain and Douglas Munro (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:Ahmed Siddiqu, son of Aafia Siddiqui, in 2008.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Ahmed Siddiqu, son of Aafia Siddiqui, in 2008.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) 20:59, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

The situation's actually too complicated to give you a proper answer in the way that you requested. I've accordingly undeleted the entire history of the description page and moved it to User:Geo Swan/Labrador. Please let me know as soon as you're done with it, so that I can move it back to where it started. Nyttend (talk) 19:25, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Never mind; it turns out that admins cannot move file description pages to other namespaces. Instead, I've left the description page where it is, at File:CCGS Labrador.gif, and will add a message asking people not to tag it for deletion.  Please let me know as soon as you're done with it, so that I can delete it again.  Nyttend (talk) 19:29, 17 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your prompt response. I don't need the description and history anymore.


 * Someone else uploaded it, in 2005, and the source was merely the gateway to the DFO mainpage. Geo Swan (talk) 19:54, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
 * You're welcome; I'm glad to be useful. Nyttend (talk) 19:56, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
