Replaceable fair use File:Norwegian Spirit Cruise Ship - New Hull Art 2020.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Norwegian Spirit Cruise Ship - New Hull Art 2020.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. Whpq (talk) 19:51, 4 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you for this information. I do still believe the file is being used under fair use as I could not find a suitable free equivalent. As such, I have followed the steps as instructed above and left my reasons on the file description and discussion pages. I hope this explains sufficiently. Thanks again for your help, J850NK (talk) 22:03, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Non replaceable is not just about there not being a free image right now, but also that one cannot be created. -- Whpq (talk) 00:02, 5 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you for this. However I'm afraid I'm not completely sure what you mean - I'm not in a position to create a free image myself and obviously don't know if one is going to be uploaded in the future, but will try and keep an eye out (and if so replace the current one). But right now, I can't find a suitable free alternative and am not in a position to create one myself. I'd appreciate your help with this? Many thanks. J850NK (talk) 00:22, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * It doesn;t matter that you personally are unable to create a free image. The fact that this is an existing cruise ship means that somebody (not necessarily you) would be able to create a free image. -- Whpq (talk) 00:44, 5 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much for this explanation. I understand somebody could create a free image (and there are free images of the ship- but only in its previous hull art/livery). However, at the moment I cannot find a free image of the ship in its new hull art - an image of the ship with the new hull art is crucial - as the appearance of the ship has changed significantly from what it used to look like and the other (free) photos available. This image is also specifically illustrating the information in the article about the 2020 refurbishment in which the ship received new hull art. As such, I think that, given the appearance of the ship has changed and the image is used to illustrate an explanation this is fair use (and because I cannot find a suitable free alternative image of the ship in its new hull art and one has not been created as yet). I hope this explains my reasoning. Many thanks again. J850NK (talk) 01:01, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Stub St Mary's Church, Berry Pomeroy
Hello , I hope I was not too impolite to answer so very late to your kind offer. I was very pleased to receive your kind offer to visit you at your talk page and your encouragement to go on editing in the English Wikipedia. I just would like to express my thankfulness for you. But I very often came home very late at night, when I had to go to work. - You might forgive me for asking a question: I found the stub St Mary's Church, Berry Pomeroy and I am considering to merge this article with the chapter about the same church, that is to be found in the article about Berry Pomeroy. I could add a little bit more infomation, but before I start with all that I would like to have asked you as an experienced english author, what do you think about this idea. Greetings and thanks in advance--Bockpeterteuto (talk) 10:55, 10 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello ,
 * This is no problem - I'm always happy to try and help, there's no rush in responding! I think your proposal is good and yes, I think merging it would be fine. However, please read and follow WP:MERGEINIT (the merging policy) and I'd recommend starting a discussion at Proposed mergers. And obviously adding more information would be great! I hope this helps and if you need anything else, please let me know. Thanks for your contributions! J850NK (talk) 19:02, 12 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Merger Proposal:
 * Thank you very much for your kind advice; here is the suggestion I left at the talk page of the Proposed mergers:
 * "Hello, as far as we discussed I propose to merge St Mary's Church, Berry Pomeroy into Berry Pomeroy. I think that the content in the St. Mary's Church-article can easily be explained in the context of Berry Pomeroy. The destination-article is of a reasonable size, so that the merging of St. Mary'Church, which is a stub, will not cause any problems as far as article size is concerned. Furthermore the qualitiy of the chapter about this church in the Berry Pomeroy-article could be improved by adding the informations as found in the stubb." Following the advices given at this page you recommended to me I also will leave may proposal at the talk Page of the destination-article. I hope, this was correct, Greetings from germany and Thanks in advance--Bockpeterteuto (talk) 10:08, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * P.S.: I announced your adress in the Merger Proposal, because they recommended at the page for Proposed mergers to adress a user, who could probably involved to a discussion, that has been started. I hope got nothing wrong and this was correct. Greetings--Bockpeterteuto (talk) 13:53, 13 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello, thanks for adding me there too and posting your suggestion - well done and thanks for following the process. As another user suggested on that page you should also post the proposal >>>Here<<< to ensure it gets dealt with as soon as possible. Thanks and please let me know if you need any more help! J850NK (talk) 20:03, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello, I thought, this could be sensible to mention you and I have to thank, too. Just for information the note I left at the other talk-pages: according to your kind recommendation and that of the user GenQuest I added the proposal to the Merge requests and hope, that this was done correctly. As far as I understand you, I do not need to add something on top of the articles for I saw your insertions? Greetings and thanks--Bockpeterteuto (talk) 21:22, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello, yes, thank you for adding it to the merge requests page and I tagged the pages involved so there is nothing else to do for now. However, please keep an eye on the discussion as to whether to proceed with the merger. There are already two votes against the proposal by users who appear to have more expertise in the area (I am not particularly knowledgeable on churches, just trying to help with the logistical process). As such, please take into consideration these comments and perhaps consider expanding the stub if you can? Many thanks, J850NK (talk) 18:27, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello, your help with the logistical process is very useful and valuable for me and I agree with you, that expanding the stub is the alternate possibility to handle the question. I also considered to do so, but I did not know, if there could have been any interest in this article, but by my opinion the contents of the stub are too important just to be deleted. So I thought a merger could have helped to save it. So my answer at the talk page of that stub is: →Suggestion: If the voters against the merger proposal do not mind me editing, perhaps I could help to expand this article as an alternative way of dealing with the stub.. I think, the arguments of the voters against are considerable and if all agree, I also could start editing. Thanks very much and greetingsBockpeterteuto (talk) 20:09, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
 * That sounds like a good proposal. Let's see if the voters have any more input, but if not, definitely start editing and expanding! J850NK (talk) 16:59, 15 May 2021
 * Hello, I added a Pro-section, and I would like to ask you - and possibly GenQuest -, if you would like to read this and possibly sign it, but only if you agree with contentual aspects. Otherwise, if no one answers to our discussion, I will and should start editing hoping not to have the same experiences as with the White Lady. Greetings and thanks for supportBockpeterteuto (talk) 07:11, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello, I am sorry for bothering you with a new question, but I do not know, if I have to move the merger proposal at the page Proposed article mergers to the answered requests or do I need a Wikipedian with more rights to do that job? There was no agreement and DuncanHill and I expanded it and so I removed the tags in accordance with the User:Crouch, Swale. I hope this was correct. Greetings and thanks in advanceBockpeterteuto (talk) 20:29, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello, no problem. It looks like you've done all the right things taking the tags off, so well done and thanks very much. Don't worry about the merger proposal page - just leave it there and after a week it should be dealt with (closed) by another editor. If there's anything else, please let me know J850NK (talk) 22:07, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello, I have to thank you for your qualified support and it was helpful to get experience in some processes in the english Wikipedia. I will do as suggested by yours. Thanks again for renewal of your invitation. Greetings--Bockpeterteuto (talk) 08:22, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
