Replaceable fair use File:Harpal Brar, Southall London, 2012.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Harpal Brar, Southall London, 2012.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. Peripitus (Talk) 07:49, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

cult of personality
Hi there. I saw that you added a section about the UK to cult of personality. The problem is that your edits are unsourced and off-topic. First of all, this article is about the concept, not a dumping ground for examples. The examples were moved to their own page, list of cults of personality. Second, you need to come up with a reliable source that specifically names the UK as having a cult of personality. It is original research to examine the laws of the UK, determine for yourself that it fits your definition, and add it to Wikipedia. I am trying to keep cult of personality and list of cults of personality relative free of low-quality sources and unsourced POV-pushing. It's not easy. If you're interested in the topic, you can help by locating better citations for the existing content. I've been meaning to get around to this for a long time now, but it's tedious work.

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice:. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Materialscientist (talk) 22:16, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm SummerPhDv2.0. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Philadelphia Police Department seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''Please note that when editing articles, particularly with disputed information, our normal process is the bold, revert, discuss cycle. When you boldly make a change to an article and are reverted, the next step is to discuss your proposed change. Please do not restore your change until a consensus is reached on the article's talk page. Thanks.'' Sum mer PhD v2.0 14:18, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm SummerPhDv2.0. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on Philadelphia Police Department, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''Among other problems, this is a WP:BLP issue. Do not restore your edit without a consensus to do so. Please discuss the issue on the article's talk page.'' Sum mer PhD v2.0 16:32, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Philadelphia Police Department, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Sum mer PhD v2.0 18:35, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Holodomor, did not appear constructive and have been undone. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. '' Please be sure to actually read both the article and talk page (including the archives) thoroughly before tagging for citations. The estimates are well documented in the body of the article: in fact, the citations are in the lead and the upper estimate is actually the minimum  according to multiple sources. The lower maximum is a compromise, and you are editing a highly topical WP:ARBEE sanctioned article. Please pay attention to what you are doing.'' Iryna Harpy (talk) 21:39, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
