Replaceable fair use File:Picture of Francium.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Picture of Francium.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) 21:56, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Picture of Francium.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Picture of Francium.jpg. 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 the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:26, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

Association football, number of countries
I undid your change to the Association football page as the number of countries in the world depends on the definition of country. In FIFA, the United Kingdom does not field a team, rather England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland each have separate representation. The source used for the statement that association football is played in over 200 countries states that "at the turn of the 21st century, more than 200 nations were registered FIFA members, which is more than the number of countries that belong to the United Nations." --Khajidha (talk) 16:16, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! 14:37, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Alva Braziel


A tag has been placed on Alva Braziel requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

 * See WP:BLP1E. This should be entered in List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States, July 2016, and could be covered in an article about recent shootings by US police, if there is one. JohnCD (talk) 21:39, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Correction: I meant WP:BIO1E, not WP:BLP1E. JohnCD (talk) 22:51, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia - Warren Truss Bridge
I noticed that a few days ago you tried to create a new article by cutting and pasting content from an existing article to a new title. This is allowed, but when you do so, our license requires that attribution is given to the original contributors of that content. It is acceptable to provide attribution by noting this in your edit summary (e.g. "content copied from "). If you forget to do that, the error can be fixed after the fact by making a "dummy edit" to the page to save another edit summary, or placing the copied template on the new article's talk page (see the template for instructions). Failing to attribute the source of copied content is technically a copyright violation, and users who persistently violate copyrights may be blocked from editing.

For more information please see Copying within Wikipedia. Thanks. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:11, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Culture of Bangalore, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Market ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Culture_of_Bangalore check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Culture_of_Bangalore?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Swaziland vs. Eswatini
Please read the recent discussion Replacing mentions of "Swaziland" with "Eswatini" in all articles where the consensus developed was that only when the use of the name post-dates the change of the name should we use the new name in articles. We should *not* mass change all mentions of the most recognizable name for the country with some recent name. Shenme (talk) 21:05, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

Captures
So, in a nutshell (and to save me reading a long Reddit thread) what is this minimum captures thing all about? - X201 (talk) 14:48, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Well it's a long story, but basically the mods removed a category from the leaderboard (min captures). While this category only has three runners, the main runner is (arguably) the most famous SMO YouTuber, Smallant1. [|He got mad] and a bunch of his viewers were being very aggressive to the mods, going as far as to send him death threats. After a few days, he made a Reddit post about the topic. The thing is he pinged everyone in his Discord server notifying them that he made the post, so a lot of his fans went and upvoted his post, and downvoted comments showing the opposite (I lost around 100 karma that day). Since then, the SMO discord has been flooded with Smallant viewers, and verifier and mods are still getting death threats.


 * If you have any questions let me know, it's crazy to see someone who follows speedrunning on such a formal community like Wikipedia! --Rockin 15:03, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

November 2020
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Chad Wolf. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges on that page. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges.

Probably best to seek some consensus before continuing to revert people. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 18:20, 25 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Got it. I was just reverting it to what it as before he changed it before the consensus, I'm sorry for that. Rockin 20:00, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
