Hi there - Wikipedia relies on reliable sources to verify information, especially about living people. You didn't provide a source for your changes to the Evan Ferguson article, but I have found one and added it for you. Please try and remember to include sources yourself with future edits. Please let me know if you have any questions. GiantSnowman 19:59, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:EvanFergusonCelebratingGoal.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:EvanFergusonCelebratingGoal.jpeg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free 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 non-free 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 non-free 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, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:46, 2 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Yeah if I’m honest I don’t understand 4/5ths of what you just said. Sorry. Kalkvia (talk) 17:19, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Fair enough since what was posted above is just a general template which contains lots of boilerplate text. Basically, you uploaded a non-free image of a still living person, and such images are pretty much never allowed per Wikipedia's non-free content use policy. The reason why is because it's almost always deemed reasonable to expect that a freely licensed photo of the same person can either be created or found to serve essentially the same Wikipedia purpose as any non-free one. Even if such a freely licensed photo doesn't currently exist, a non-free one isn't going to be allowed as sort of a temporary fix as long as its reasonable to expect that a free equivalent photo could be created. There are of course sometimes exceptions made, but for the most part any non-free image of a still living person is never going to be considered OK to use. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:05, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 3
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2023–24 Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Forward. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Kjell Scherpen. GiantSnowman 19:14, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
