Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Flag of Florida into Flag of Alabama. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:16, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Mascot deletion
They are doing some strange things on Commons regarding photos of copyrighted likenesses. We probably need a good US-based copyright lawyer to weigh in on it, but as of now those types of images are being removed. One work-around may be to upload the image directly as Fair Use Non-free media, and to note that the mascot is copyrighted but the photo is free. See File:Cessna 408 SkyCourier model.jpg for one example, though that may not have the correct tags. BilCat (talk) 01:37, 27 March 2022 (UTC)


 * I guess if they delete it I'll just restore the other image. I guess I could upload it on Flickr as well. Weird. That's an IP account that never edited until today. Nemov (talk) 01:39, 27 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Yup, it was definitely weird. No deletion rationale whatsoever, much less any proof the mascot is copyrighted i that way. Odd. BilCat (talk) 02:33, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I took your advice and uploaded it again. Hopefully that satisfies them. Nemov (talk) 02:44, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
