Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 17:35, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I can't let you edit under this name. Plus, some of the material you added to Thompson Creek Metals isn't all that neutral. But I'll ping, who has spent most of his life underground, to see if he can't give you some advice. Drmies (talk) 17:37, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, Drmies is correct. Usernames that represent companies rather than individuals are not allowed, neither are group accounts. The rule is oen person, one account. Something like "John Doe at TCM" would be fine, but Thompsoncreekmetals is not. Additionally before editing, you should read the conflict of interest guidelines. Further to this, the corporate responsibility stuff is generally not included in articles per our requirements for a neutral point of view. --kelapstick(bainuu) 19:15, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Thompson Creek Metals Map of Mines, Facilities, and Properties.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Thompson Creek Metals Map of Mines, Facilities, and Properties.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. Fut.Perf. ☼ 20:03, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Thompson Creek Metals Map of Mines, Facilities, and Properties.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Thompson Creek Metals Map of Mines, Facilities, and Properties.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. Stefan2 (talk) 01:18, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
