Non-free rationale for File:DB2019AU01106 overfull.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:DB2019AU01106 overfull.png. 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 in section F6 of the 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. Whpq (talk) 21:43, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:DB2019AU01106 overfull.png
Thanks for uploading File:DB2019AU01106 overfull.png. 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. Whpq (talk) 13:45, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

Volkswagon ID.3 interior image
Hi,

I saw your note at File talk:DB2019AU01078 overfull.jpg. I am answering here as the image's talk page will be deleted when the image is deleted. You asked "...I'd like to know what the problem is with the image. It was removed from the page even though it wasn't replaced by another image, implying there was a problem with the image being there. I want to upload content that is ok to upload first time, so I'd be grateful if you could tell me what the issue was."

The best person to ask why it was removed would be user:Ghostofakina as that editor removed the image when updating the infobox. I suspect that the image was removed because it was non-free. The editor might not have been aware that a free interior image was available.

With respect to non-free images, please be aware that use of such images should adhere to non-free content guidelines, and the images use must meet all of the nonfree content critera. In particular, WP:NFCC on replaceability is not just a case of there not being any free image found, it must also be the case that no free image could be made. For images of the ID.3, given that the car is making the rounds at the auto shows, there is an expectation that a free image from somebody attending an autoshow could create one. And indeed, that has happened.

If you feel that infobox should have the free image of the interior there, feel free to boldly put it there. If you are reverted or challenged about it, you should discuss it at Talk:Volkswagen ID.3.

Use of images on Wikipedia can be confusing. If you have questions about it, a good place to ask is Media copyright questions. I hope this helps. -- Whpq (talk) 16:59, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

Re: Volkswagen ID.3 interior image
Hello,

Sorry I removed the aforementioned file without letting you know. Coincidentally, I was unaware that the image was non-free and I didn't realize there was another image available. I didn't think the interior image was necessary at the time, and I'll be more careful with removing files in the future.

Regards, Ghostofakina (talk)

Orphaned non-free image File:DB2019AU01106 overfull.png
Thanks for uploading File:DB2019AU01106 overfull.png. 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) 17:53, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

Lockwood (company) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Lockwood (company), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. ... disco spinster   talk  18:55, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
