Orphaned non-free media (Image:SierraSci.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:SierraSci.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 10:07, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I removed the piece you reinserted, and I added it to the discussion page and put some notes down, if you are willing, could you come and comment. Thanks, WordMachine (talk) 13:11, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

William H. Andrews
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article William H. Andrews, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add  to the top of William H. Andrews. ukexpat (talk) 22:11, 28 January 2008 (UTC)


 * No problem with the edit to redirect - seems like the most appropriate way to handle it. Thanks. --ukexpat (talk) 22:17, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Welcome!
I'm glad your article got into the main space. I see that you credited my suggestion on the helpdesk.

I have a request. Could you please check the helpdesk periodically for folks that are in the same situation you were in? Helpdesk responders are self-selected: you are no more (and no less) qualified to respond than the rest of us. Some responders get tired and make poor responses, so we need new responders. Your success is a real inducement for me to continue to make useful responses on the helpdesk. -Arch dude (talk) 04:32, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:William H Andrews.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:William H Andrews.jpg, which you've sourced to The individual who uploaded is not the copyright owner.. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to , stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to .

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ukexpat (talk) 14:40, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I've sent an e-mail to the creator asking him to provide that proof. SierraSciSPA (talk) 16:14, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

William H. Andrews (2)
Hi there! Whilst researching sierra sciences I noticed that you changed the following line in Andrews' biography: "From 1999 to 2006, scientists at Sierra Sciences attempted to identify the telomerase repressor protein, but were not successful.", to "In 2005, Andrews shelved Sierra Sciences' efforts to identify the telomerase repressor protein". I believe the former is more informative and would like to ask you why you decided to make the change. Samuel Thornkey (talk) 07:07, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
