Orphaned non-free image File:Vg247-logo.png
Thanks for uploading File:Vg247-logo.png. 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) 17:37, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Andrew-wk-brighton.png


The file File:Andrew-wk-brighton.png has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Unused; WP:NOTFILESTORAGE. Also watermarked, doubtful copyright."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. &mdash; Mdaniels5757 (talk &bull; contribs) 16:04, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

USgamer
Please avoid redirect USgamer articles to their newer location at VG247. This could be misleading in historical contexts. Instead, the originals links should be archived in place using WP:IABOT or any other tool. IceWelder &#91; &#9993; &#93; 15:57, 1 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Also, the rest of the citation still mentions "USGamer". If you are up to update it, shouldn't the rest of the citation be changed too? Maybe that is actually better if done by a bot for that reason too, if it has to be done. —Teles « Talk to me ˱ M @ C S ˲» 16:01, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
 * USgamer articles should not be incorrectly attributed to VG247 when we already know the true origin. VG247 is effectively a content mirror, not a successor or anything alike. Mass-archiving should be the better option here. IceWelder  &#91; &#9993; &#93; 16:07, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
 * @IceWelder, looks like they are ignoring us... —Teles « Talk to me ˱ M @ C S ˲» 16:21, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
 * @IceWelder, I see that most of the citations, if not all, are already using the archived version of USGamer. So, there is no need at all to change it to the mirrored version. —Teles « Talk to me ˱ M @ C S ˲» 16:29, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Exactly my point. Maybe we should have a bot/script run over articles that have archived USgamer articles and set the status to dead. IABot seems to be down right now, but all other pages should be archived, maybe with an IABot job once it is back. IceWelder  &#91; &#9993; &#93; 17:08, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry, only just saw this - I'll leave them all alone Wll (talk) 17:19, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Jacob-field-the-one-hundred.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Jacob-field-the-one-hundred.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 permission 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. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Minorax &laquo;&brvbar;talk&brvbar;&raquo; 13:40, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Dormskirk. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, RELX, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 11:54, 24 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Ah, I thought referencing https://www.polygon.com/2018/2/26/17053662/reedpop-gamer-network-owner would be enough. Would this be better:
 * ReedPop, part of RX, organises popular culture events including New York Comic Con, Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo and PAX. . In February 2018, ReedPop acquired Gamer Network, a British Mass Media company that owns a number of video game journalism sites including Eurogamer, Rock Paper Shotgun and VG247.

 * Yes, that looks fine. Thanks, Dormskirk (talk) 14:09, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
