Image source problem with Image:Brookhaven ny seal.png
This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Brookhaven ny seal.png. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:07, 13 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

Replaceable fair use Image:Shea relation Citi Field.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Shea relation Citi Field.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


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

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. B 01:16, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:SP-s10e04-censor.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:SP-s10e04-censor.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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. BetacommandBot 17:47, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:The Doobie Brothers - The Very Best Of.jpg

Imaginationland‎ Merge
User:Sceptre has started to unilaterally merge the episodes together, not waiting until the poll has closed. As there is a 3:1 opinion out there that this should not occur and I do not wish to break the 3R rule I was wondering if you could help me with reverting his edits?

Fair use rationale for Image:Blackrobreport.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Blackrobreport.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box.

Typo redirect Elisa Cuthbert
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Elisa Cuthbert, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Elisa Cuthbert is a redirect page resulting from an implausible typo (CSD R3). To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Elisa Cuthbert, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Image copyright problem with Image:Citi Field logo.png
Thank you for uploading Image:Citi Field logo.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

Fair use rationale for Image:Freedom-to-Fascism1.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Freedom-to-Fascism1.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:NYPost.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:NYPost.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion.

Hi Zimbabweed. Just wanted to let you know and explain my actions. This needs no action from you:

I saw that you created and used a template named ·nowrap that does the exact same job as ·wrap and ·w. Some one else had later redirected your template to.

I think that "nowrap" was the wrong meaning, since the template inserted a point where it may wrap, not a point where it may not wrap. And your template name was longer and thus bulkier to use in link lists. So I updated the three navboxes that used this template to use directly: Madonna songs, Shania Twain singles and Whitney Houston Singles.

I have then nominated your template for deletion. (Sorry about that.)

The Voice of the Ghetto
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article The Voice of the Ghetto, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add  to the top of The Voice of the Ghetto. — Hello, Control Hello, Tony  11:48, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. BJBot (talk) 05:17, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Shea relation Citi Field.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Shea relation Citi Field.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


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

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? ViperSnake151 00:22, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

2009 Hudson River mid-air collision
I was wondering whether we should nominate this article for Good Article status, and being one of the top editors of this article, your opinion is important to me. I might be trying to push this article too quickly to GA-status, so please stop me if that is the case.

I think that this article has the qualities of a good article:
 * 1. It is generally well-written, and complies with MoS as far as I can see.
 * 2. It is factually accurate and has multiple sources (21 right now), all of which are credible news articles and documents by credible sources (e.g. NY Times, CNN, US Supreme Court).
 * 3. It is broad and covers all aspects of the event without excessive detail, and has info about the crash, recovery, investigation, and aftermath.
 * 4. It adheres to NPOV, and any statements that might possibly be considered points of view are all reliably sourced.
 * 5. There is no edit war and the article is stable. As far as I can tell, all of the edits in the past few days have been constructive or simply fixing errors.
 * 6. Though there are only two images, both are free US Coast Guard pictures, and if needed, there are additional pictures available.

Should we nominate, or hold off on it for some time? You may reply to me on my talk page. Thanks! Whaatt uSpeak  what iDone  13:19, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Fire Island → Fire Island (disambiguation)
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Fire Island a different title by copying its content and pasting it into Fire Island (disambiguation). This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. —David Levy 21:14, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:27, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Non-specific map for area codes for New York State
We do have a map of area codes for New York that does not specifically highlight any particular area code. It's specifically for use on the state area code page, and I was surprised to find it's not there. It's file:area codes ny.svg and it's used as the "base" map for editing all the others. I'm going to see about inserting it there. The idea being when there are changes, the person wanting to update the map starts with downloading that master map, make changes when new area codes are added to New York or to any of the states or provinces that touch it, then upload it back, replacing the old one, that makes the base map correct. Then they use the now corrected master map to recreate the other New York area code maps by coloring each one separately, then re-uploading each one. This gives the benefit there is one non-specific map showing all of them, and one for each area code that highlights it. And because it's an SVG map, it resizes beautifully, because it's raster image, unlike PNG, BMP or JPG maps which are bitmapped images, so the map can be made smaller or larger than the size it was saved at, and it's always crisp and clear.

I know you said you were also watching my talk pages, but I thought I'd expand how I intended the area code maps to work. I have done the same thing with other places as I got around to it. I have set up the same thing for another high area code state, California. It has both a state map with no specific area code highlighted, then each individual area code is highlighted because they're often hard to see where they are when a state has 8, 10, 12, or 20 area codes. (California has so many A/Cs it has, not one inset area the way the New York State map does for the New York City area, it has three, one for the San Francisco region, a second for Southern California, and a third for Downtown Los Angeles.) Then the next step is to make the map "clickable" so that someone can click on an area code and go directly to the page for it, whether the code is in New York or a neighboring state.

2014 FIFA World Cup broadcasters
Hi! I removed your edits from the 2014 FIFA World Cup broadcasting rights article as this one is should include only broadcasters and not channels (with ABC being the exception as ABC Sports still legally exists). If you look at Portugal on the list, you'll see that RTP and SportTV are listed, and not any channel owned by them. So there's no need of specifying that ESPN2 will have World Cup broadcasts as ESPN is already listed as a broadcaster. JDamanWP (talk) 17:58, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Latest stable software release templates/Google Photos


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Latest stable software release templates/Google Photos. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Google Photos. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Google Photos – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:02, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

License tagging for File:2016 Belmont Stakes photo finish.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:2016 Belmont Stakes photo finish.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) 06:06, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Fox Sports Net (logo).png
Thank you for uploading File:Fox Sports Net (logo).png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
