Use of the "minor" flag
Howdy! Just wanted to share a friendly tip. I noticed in your contribution list that you've flagged nearly all of your edits as "minor". Wikipedia uses a more specific definition of "minor" than most of us would use in normal conversation or writing. Wikipedia's guidance for when to use the "minor" flag is here: Help:Minor_edit. In particular, it's strongly suggested to not mark an edit as minor if it includes "Adding or removing content in an article", such as 1, 2, 3, etc. The guidance document goes into more about why it's important to use the minor flag according to a common, Wikipedia-specific definition...I think it's one of the neat things that helps everyone work better together. Happy editing! :) --Hebisddave (talk) 13:49, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:DeSoto Town Center, 2012.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:DeSoto Town Center, 2012.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) 17:10, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
