Orphaned non-free image File:Ali Musa DaqDuq&#39;s forged ID documents.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Ali Musa DaqDuq&. 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 section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:23, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Less good news, and an appeal for some help

At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.

BLP warning
I believe you misunderstand how BLP works here. The onus is on YOU to defend the inclusion of material that is properly sourced. It is not up to the community to defend the exclusion of material. You have a serious misunderstanding of how BLP works so please refrain from editing in this area. Unsourced or poorly sourced BLP articles could present a legal issue for the wiki. 2605:8D80:522:3240:223B:6F67:22C7:443C (talk) 16:02, 26 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Wow this wikistalker is annoying. They have been harassing me for two years.


 * They don't have a good understanding of the wikipedia's policies, but they have mastered the vandal trick of crafting comments and edit summaries that give the surface appearance of reasonableness, when not examined in detail, but which are complete bullshit.


 * I addressed their most recent vandalism at the most recent SPI I initiated... Geo Swan (talk) 00:32, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Mathew L. Golsteyn


A tag has been placed on Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Mathew L. Golsteyn requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://video.foxnews.com/v/5979740536001/?playlist_id=930909819001#sp=show-clips. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

 * It is my recollection that I blanked that talk page, or trimmed that material, shortly after a concern was raised. That's my tacit acknowledgement I recognized tunnel vision led me to a lapse from policy. Geo Swan (talk) 18:08, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
