Orphaned fair use image (Image:Nesnlogo.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Nesnlogo.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that your image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If your image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why your image was deleted. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 22:15, 13 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for this warning, Stifle, however, I have uploaded it for use in the NESN article, which I have just finished updating. I hope you see this as acceptable now.  Thanks. RyanMcK 22:35, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:New England Sports Network
I reverted your blanking of Talk:New England Sports Network. We don't remove discussions after they are finished, they stay on the page until it gets large enough for archiving, at which point it is moved to the new archive. So, it's not a good idea to blank discussions. Thank you for your understanding. -- WC  Quidditch  &#9742;   &#9998;  18:39, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, wasn't aware of that. My intentions were to get rid of my old comments about restructuring that article, since it had already been formatted that way.  Thanks for letting me know! RyanMcK 20:54, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Image:Nesnlogo.gif
Hello RyanMcK, an automated process has found an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, such as fair use. The image (Image:Nesnlogo.gif) was found at the following location: User:RyanMcK. This image or media will be removed per statement number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media will be replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg, so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. The image that was replaced will not be automatically deleted, but it could be deleted at a later date. Articles using the same image should not be affected by my edits. I ask you to please not readd the image to your userpage and could consider finding a replacement image licensed under either the Creative Commons or GFDL license or released to the public domain. Thanks for your attention and cooperation. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 02:05, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:PlanetinPeril.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:PlanetinPeril.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 07:41, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Requesting your opinion
Hi. You've participated in discussions on NESN. Can you offer your opinion about the inclusion of material in an article that's taking place in this consensus discussion, in which the reliability of that source is one of the issues that was raised (among others)? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 18:14, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

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.
