Replaceable fair use File:Tommie Earl Jenkins.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Tommie Earl Jenkins.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. Whpq (talk) 13:39, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

Help with photo
OK, I've contacted the person who I am writing the article about and he has supplied three photos that he is happy for me to use and told me who the photographer is; is that OK? Terngirl (talk) 22:51, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
 * You will need to have them follow the instructions for donating copyrighted materials. They need to be clear that they are the copyright holders and that the material is being licensed under an acceptable free license.  I hope this answers your question.  -- Whpq (talk) 23:47, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Tommie E Jenkins.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Tommie E Jenkins.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 01:05, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Dr Dave Sticker.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Dr Dave Sticker.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log].

Orphaned non-free image File:Tommie Earl Jenkins.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Tommie Earl Jenkins.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) 02:55, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi; I started the page; I am about to start the Wirraminna page (which is and Environmental Education Centre), should I merge the two? Make Dr Dave a sub-section of Wirraminna?? Terngirl (talk) 08:03, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I also have photographs of newspaper articles talking about Dr Dave, but I am unclear if I can upload these photos as proof of citation? I have had to go into physical archives of newspapers because the archives are not on line. Terngirl (talk) 04:37, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Spurious &lt;code> and &lt;nowiki> tags
Hi Terngirl, in this edit at Gendered associations of pink and blue, you tried to add a citation needed template – that would have introduced a tag like this had it been successful; but what happened instead, is that it ended up like this:  based on very strange wikimarkup including a bunch of   and   tags, that looked like this in Preview mode:

which I assume you didn't code, and didn't intend. Can you tell me if you used Visual Editor to add this citation tag, and if there was anything special or unusual that you noticed when you added it? I'm wondering if this is a bug in Visual Editor that needs to be reported at Phabricator. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 17:53, 21 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi yes I used visual editor, not sure why it didn’t work, thanks! Terngirl (talk) 23:52, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
