Orphaned non-free image File:PoeticJusticeCover.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:PoeticJusticeCover.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 section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:28, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

Removed maps
I noticed you removed some maps I had added citing that they did not have labels in English. I can't find how they break any wikipedia rules as such (for example the guidelines on using maps), while many readers of wikipedia articles may be Arab or read Arabic, and this map is a resource to them. Therefore I ask that you please undo your edits. If its their verifiability you seek, please ask a neutral Arabic speaker to verify. Ypedia1 (talk) 19:43, 25 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi. My full comments were actually "remove oversize map without legend, in a non-English language". There are three issues there, the first two of which were the main ones as they violate Manual_of_Style/Images (the third just prevents me from revising them to be used appropriately). Details: The maps were placed without proper formatting, breaking how the pages displayed. They were placed without any context or explanation of what they are showing - they do not appear to illustrate anything particular in the articles they were placed in. They are in a non-English language, so I as an editor of English Wikipedia can't try to interpret what they mean and why they were added to the article. Finally, they do not appear to be traditional maps, but rather a schematic - if I placed an image of a square with the word "Wyoming" written on it, in a random subsection on the ja:Wyoming wikipedia page, I would reasonably expect that image to be removed, as well. I suggest you identify what the images were showing, show what benefit they add to the articles in question, and then re-add them in a more appropriate size (for comparison, see how your maps are displayed in Cairo).

 * The oversize might be an oversight on my part that could have easily been fixed with a 'thumb'. The maps are labelled as administrative maps that show the district subdivisions, so not a random box with words if you had bothered to look up its details. They are from the governorate's website so can't really comment on their look, while no maps in English were available. As an editor of an Arab world entry in the English wikipedia, you must accept that not all source material can be in English. Ypedia1 (talk) 21:38, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
 * No worries! Like I said, feel free to fix those issues and add them back to the page. SECProto (talk) 22:20, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
