Heather Heyer
Thanks for providing the WP link. I absolutely get Heather Heyer's status (although she does continue to be mentioned). My curiosity was piqued by the fact that a Wikipedia search didn't get me to the link in the simplified English version (she happened to be the x factor in this equation). I didn't know there was a simplified version. That's a rabbit hole I'd prefer to avoid. On the other hand, I am currently trying to upskill by checking out WP pages. So, thanks again.Tarkiwi25 (talk) 22:44, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Margaret Maughan, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. WP:CIR Joseph2302 (talk) 16:13, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Orcieres Logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Orcieres Logo.jpg. 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. BaldBoris 03:19, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
