Hello
Hi, I'm bob, and I'll be helping out with your course. If you need a helping hand with anything technical on wikipedia, just ask on my talkpage or on the course page. There are some useful links here: Don't forget to sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help with anything, just ask. And when you're actually working on an article, remember that sources are your best friend - the things you write should be verifiable, and if you have any disagreement or uncertainty, the best way forward is to ask "What do the sources say?". I hope you have fun, and maybe after your course you'll stick around... bobrayner (talk) 13:58, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:A picture of a no diving sign with a dried up river bed in the background, depicting Australia's severe drought.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:A picture of a no diving sign with a dried up river bed in the background, depicting Australia's severe drought.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

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. Fut.Perf. ☼ 01:07, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:A picture of a no diving sign with a dried up river bed in the background, depicting Australia's severe drought.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:A picture of a no diving sign with a dried up river bed in the background, depicting Australia's severe drought.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:21, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia Education Program: student survey!
Hi! I work with the Wikipedia Education Program, and I'm hoping to get your feedback about your experience this semester! In order to help other students like you enjoy editing while contributing positively to Wikipedia, it would be very helpful to hear from real program students about their experience, so we know what to change. The survey takes no more than 10 minutes, and I'd really appreciate your response!

Thanks so much! JMathewson (WMF) (talk) 22:23, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
