Commons trouble
Yo, I wonder if I could ask a favour. I uploaded Image:Katie Sierra in the Land of the Free.gif to Commons but screwed up the copyright tags and for some inexplicable reason I am unable to edit Commons image pages. Could you possibly copy-paste the copyright info on Image:GlobalIntifada.gif and paste it to the Sierra image? I don't want the copyright mafia to get all trigger happy and delete anything unnecessarily... скоморохъ 23:22, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Perfect, muchas gracias. скоморохъ  07:27, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It's bizarre - when I click "edit this page" over there, the browser won't open the ".php" file and tries to open it with some word processor instead. So I can upload by clicking radio buttons, and strangely enough, comment on talk pages, but I can't edit images. There's probably some blindly obvious technical reason for it, but I am a neophyte at this programming business. скоморохъ  07:32, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

List of Registered Historic Places in Washington
Hi ... I see you attempted to fix the reflist template at the bottom of the Washington NRHP list. The reason it's not working is because there's a limit on the number of templates that can be included and resolved in an article. This also explains why the Whatcom County table looks like it does. When an article exceeds the limit, it is automatically added to. When individual counties are split out into separate articles and the main article is down to a reasonable size, the problem will go away. Thanks for all your valuable contributions and keep up the good work! --Sanfranman59 (talk) 00:01, 27 September 2008 (UTC)


 * What I've done with the Alabama and Michigan lists (two other states with lots of counties) is to break out all of the counties with the most listings (am I allowed to use that term? ;^) into separate articles until the main state article has only the counties with a few listings and is down to about 80k in size. It's probably safe to assume that counties with more than 10 or 15 listings will need to be broken out. It's also been necessary to break out large cities from their county lists (e.g., Detroit from Wayne County). --Sanfranman59 (talk) 00:51, 27 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I encountered the templates-not-resolving issue on the List of RHPs in WI list-article that grew to exceed 200k. I am pretty sure that is the limit.  Resolved as Sanfranman59 suggests. doncram (talk) 05:03, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Spanish Civil War
Hi, regarding the edits over Stanley Payne's opinion in the Spanish Civil War page, I'm afraid I don't agree with your edit. Firstly although this may be cited material, there is no factual information in this quote. It's entirely opinion and interpretation.

''The leftist zone has been variously designated "Republican", "loyalist", and "Popular Front." Of those terms, the adjective "loyalist" is somewhat misleading, for there was no attempt to remain loyal to the constitutional Republican regime. If that had been the scrupulous policy of the left, there would have been no revolt and civil war in the first place. Thus after July 1936 what remained of the constitutional Republic gave way to the "revolutionary Republican confederation" of 1936–1937.''

Which is fine in a work by an individual historian who is developing his argument, but citing one, highly partisan view in wp article is not productive. What the author is saying is that, in his opinion the Spanish republicans do not deserve the name republicans. And basically that the civil war was the fault of the left. Arguable, yes but highly pov I think. And it's not as if this is new and cutting edge research, the works cited were published in 1973 so I see no reason why they should be given special prominence in the text.

Nor do I agree with building up citations and counter-citations on the point. This would add nothing factual to the article and only confuse the reader. The debate as to respect to legality in the republican zone is a legitimate one but surely it's better dealt with elsewhere, for example in a historiography section.

Hope to hear from you. Jdorney (talk) 14:53, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Freecoasters


The article Freecoasters has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * The article started out as a copyvio, and after the violating parts were removed, it is not much more than a dictionary definition. It does not show notability, and the only external link is to an amateur website. It is extremely unlikely that this article will ever grow to more than a stub.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. EdgeNavidad (talk) 16:02, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

File:45 maquis.jpg
Hi, I note you uploaded this media, would you mind expanding the fair use rationale so it addresses ALL 10 points of WP:NFCC?Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:10, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:45 maquis.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:45 maquis.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. SchuminWeb (Talk) 14:03, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Francisco Ascaso.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Francisco Ascaso.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. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 03:52, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:USN Observatory - Flagstaff.jpg


The file File:USN Observatory - Flagstaff.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "unused, low-res, no obvious use"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
