File permission problem with File:Meteor17 LOGO.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:Meteor17 LOGO.jpeg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for 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 permissions-en@wikimedia.org, 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 permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Meteor17 home header.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Meteor17 home header.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. <span style="border:1px solid black; background-color: #FF513D; background-image: -ms-radial-gradient(center top, circle farthest-corner, #FFAA3B 0%, #FF0000 100%); background-image: -moz-radial-gradient(center top, circle farthest-corner, #FFAA3B 0%, #FF0000 100%); background-image: -o-radial-gradient(center top, circle farthest-corner, #FFAA3B 0%, #FF0000 100%); background-image: -webkit-gradient(radial, center top, 0, center top, 556, color-stop(0, #FFAA3B), color-stop(1, #FF0000)); background-image: -webkit-radial-gradient(center top, circle farthest-corner, #FFAA3B 0%, #FF0000 100%); background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at center top, #FFAA3B 0%, #FF0000 100%);padding:4px;"> Blurred   Lines  03:58, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Your submission at AfC Spencer Proffer was accepted
 Spencer Proffer, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created. The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on the article's talk page. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article. You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. . Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia! The Ukulele Guy - Aggie80 (talk) 15:56, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Spener Proffer.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Spener Proffer.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. Eeekster (talk) 21:05, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Spencer Proffer
Just a word to the wise. You might like to read Five pillars before proceeding much further with your editing. A particularly important prerequisite is Verifiability - "In Wikipedia, verifiability means that people reading and editing the encyclopedia can check that information comes from a reliable source. Wikipedia does not publish original research. Its content is determined by previously published information rather than by the personal beliefs or experiences of its editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it."

In addition, please remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia. Or rather, what is not. Equally a neutral point of view should always apply. Thanks,

Derek R Bullamore (talk) 00:17, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Spencer Proffer, you may be blocked from editing. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  21:30, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

We have been very compliant with the rules and regulations regarding the "soapboxing" and have made numerous edits and deleted many citations and links. Is it now possible to take off the banner on top of the page that cites us as an advertisement? thank you.

Possibly unfree files
Some of your uploads might be unfree. See Possibly unfree files/2014 February 26. --Stefan2 (talk) 21:49, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Meteor17 logo.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:Meteor17 logo.jpeg. 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. --B-bot (talk) 17:33, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
