If you actually watched Westminster that year you would know. Go add that as a source yourself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.54.64.200 (talk) 19:31, 7 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Information.svg Thank you for your suggestion. When you believe an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the  link at the top. The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes—they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills.  New contributors are always welcome. You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to).   —  Jeff G. ツ  (talk)   19:33, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:HTC Evo Design 4G.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:HTC Evo Design 4G.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:


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

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. ViperSnake151  Talk  18:36, 9 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I have added and written as requested. Thanks for the notice.  —  Jeff G. ツ  (talk)   20:12, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:HTC Evo Design 4G.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:HTC Evo Design 4G.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the Non-free fair use tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Young Wikipedian Banned for Trying Out Stuff In Their Sandbox
Hi Jeff G.,

I'm an editor and participant of a Wikipedia project in a I/O Psychology class. I was trying some new stuff in my sandbox and then I noticed a bar stating that I was blocked indefinitely.

http://awesomescreenshot.com/013xtgg99

Please could you explain what did wrong and how can I get this block removed.

Thanks in advance, Xyzbb1253 (talk) 12:36, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Seems you copied another editors userpage and they were banned by the community. You, personally, are not banned nor blocked. Don't worry. --Bsadowski1 12:39, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Bsadowski1 is right. More specifically, since you asked, what you did wrong in this edit was that you expanded former transcluded template (equivalent to ) by adding a middle colon ":" and prepending "Subst:" to form , a substed transcluded user page of indefinitely blocked User:Superfan. The middle colon was the big problem; the substing compounded that problem so that you were unable to determine what happened. You were correct in playing in your own sandbox and in asking for help. You can reproduce the effect of what you did using this URL.   —  Jeff G. ツ  (talk)   14:44, 17 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your help, Jeff G. & Bsadowski1 (I'm glad I'm not banned). I greatly appreciate your assistance. (Long live the administrators!!!) Xyzbb1253 (talk) 23:16, 17 February 2013 (UTC)


 * You're welcome, though I'm not an administrator here.  —  Jeff G. ツ  (talk)   00:49, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Creating Architect Article- Question about rights for images.
Hello,

I am currently putting together an article for Thomas H. Beeby on behalf of the University of Notre Dame School of Architecture. He is the newest Driehaus Prize winner so we have added information about him to the Driehaus Prize page and want to create an article of his own. We have the rights from Mr. Beeby to to use specific images of his buildings (found here: https://notredame.box.com/s/yycgadtyhr3dev0xksfz) and a picture of him for announcement and promotion of the prize. I find that I am confused by the copyright pages on Wikipedia. Can I upload these photos to Wikipedia Images and then add them to the article that I have created?

Thank you for your help, SSantera — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ssantera (talk • contribs) 20:08, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi, and thanks for asking. I believe Donating copyrighted materials will help answer your question.  —  Jeff G. ツ  (talk)   20:13, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Jeff for this answer and for the notes on my page. Apologies about the delay. You can take this down now if you need to. Ssantera (talk) 02:43, 19 February 2013 (UTC)


 * You're welcome. It will be archived in a week.  —  Jeff G. ツ  (talk)   16:19, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
